With All Due Respect to TS Eliot

Sometimes, I just need to lean into my literary side. In case you’re not familiar with the original poem by TS Eliot, The Hollow Men, here’s a quick primer. The lines I worked off are his most quoted, referring to the death and destruction wrought by the H-Bomb. My reference is that as the world slides inexorably towards socialism, and the undisputed death, disease ,and malaise it spreads, voices promoting health, critical thinking, and individualism will simply be drowned out. And by “drowned out,” I mean silenced.

If YOU are someone promoting internet censorship and cancel culture, I implore you to STOP. You are the modern equivalent of a book burner and snitch. If that offends you, it should. What you are doing is wrong, and if you have a shred of decency, you will understand that silencing people you disagree with is authoritarian and tyrannical. Beat me with better arguments…
