Back to 1984 – Orwellian Facebook jail

Pål de Vibe tweeted the following picture with this text, translated from Norwegian: In Norway, many people are opposed to forcing children to follow a religion. Except for the rainbow religion. All children are compelled to worship this religion, with or without parental consent. (The picture is not from a Norwegian gay parade.)

I have been publicly challenging the US ambassador to Serbia, prime ministers, politicians and warmongers, of course without hating them, but now I am back after a 24 hour FB detention for so-called “hate speach.”

Back to 1984. The Orwellian Facebook opinion police uses the weapon of “hate speech” to censor opinions they do not like. Today I have received a 24 hour Facebook ban because I believe that children should not be sexualized by adults and walk in gay parades with abnormal men crawling on the street in dog collars. I have not been able to like anything, comment or reply to messages.

While the original post of the Norwegian writer and popular Facebook personality Maria Zähler is not blocked, Facebook blocked my profile because I had violated their “Community Standards,” and standards on hate speech. Here is my Norwegian translation of her post:

I wrote a chronicle the other day, explaining how the so-called LGBT movement directs its inappropriate and sexualized propaganda against children. The picture says everything. It is not appropriate or decent whatsoever. Currently, deranged activists believe it is right to teach our children about homosexuality and transsexualism already in kindergarten. I do not mind people choosing to live differently, but children have no place in a sexual arrangement and definitely do not have to think about their sexuality when they are so young. This activism is really should really be criticized; it is similar to indoctrination and it may seem as if the goal is to make as many kids as possible think they are skewed or want to change gender, while the fact is that this is really a small minority. At the same time, it is hardly possible to criticize this barbarity, as homosexuals, lesbians and all of these people are a protected minority who gets to rule and act as they please, protected from unpleasant facts (there are only two sexes) and justified criticism. Toddlers do not belong in Pride, and sex toys do not belong in the public sphere.

While I use Facebook to promote my ideas, we must also be conscious that Facebook is an enemy of freedom of speech when a text like this can be arbitrarily deleted because some faceless person in Facebook decided that this is hate speech. We must protect freedom of speech 100 percent, and that means that we also have to accept harsh criticism against me and what I believe in.

If we believe in freedom of speech, we must also reject that there is something called hate speech. The only speech that should not be allowed is calls for violence or destruction of property.

For personally, as a Christian, I have made a conscious decision not to hate anyone, even if a lot of people hate me because of my opinions and political activism. However, I cannot define what is hate. Of course, we should not intentionally hate other people, but freedom of speech always, always trumps so-called hate speech.

These days, I get a lot of request to be friends on Facebook from Serbian patriots. I accept most of them, with the following text: “(First name) I am glad that we are in contact. I hope that it is OK that I add you as a recipient to my Serbian newsletters. We have to create strong networks, independent of Facebook, One day, Mark Zuckerberg might decide that we no longer have our FB profile. FB is dangerous if you are a patriot, knowing that the Balkan HQ of Facebook is in Croatia. Can I have your phone and email?”

If we entrust Facebook with our entire lives, we are very vulnerable, and we need to create strong, independent networks if Mark Zuckerberg decides that we will no longer will have access to Facebook. Therefore, if you want to be in my network, please send me an email to kristian,kahrs@gmail.com, and please include your phone number.

And please remember to make a complete backup of your Facebook profile. Next time it could be you.
