But it doesn't matter what the facts are, does it? Judging by all the hysterical men (yes, they are nearly all men) who after debating Michael Tracey and conceding these are the facts persist in their belief that the current witch-hunt is justified, I have given up thinking facts are relevant, which makes sense when you consider that this is a classical witch-hunt.
Witch-hunts are not exaggerations. It's not like we look back on historical accused witches and concede that they were a little bit witchy by today's standards too. No, in hindsight witch-hunts are complete and utter nonsense and the Epstein hysteria is no exception. There is literally nothing to it. Epstein did nothing that should have any relevance outside the egregiously draconian Florida jurisdiction in the early 2000s, and his friends did nothing at all.
You can also tell this is a witch-hunt by how it taints all his friends as equally bad witches and compare it to how association with anyone else with come kind of criminal conviction fails to have this effect. I have never seen anything like it for the worst criminals and now we are talking about an offense at the very flimsiest basis, relating to a girl one day under 18. It is absurd.
And now even I managed to get cancelled for my opinions in support of Epstein. It's no big deal for me as I never really had any positions worth a damn, but now I am preemptively cancelled from getting an unpaid internship because potential employers googled me and read my latest blog posts. So the path out of poverty which I mentioned about a year ago is now unavailable. I have learned a lot as I completed the classroom education part of the Kodehode program with no issue. Apparently I am too boring in person to google, so no one there noticed I have politically incorrect opinions, but when potential employers do background checks they find my blog and get hysterical, which made Kodehode hysterical too and so they kicked me out.
On the plus side I did learn a lot which will be beneficial even if I can't get a job. And now I have more time for creative expression such as blogging and coding my own projects. But I need to get back to the drawing board on how to get out of poverty and welcome suggestions to that effect.

You can console yourself with the fact that Amos Lee is in an even worse situation than you, but as usual he takes it philosophically without giving up his ideals and his fight.

Thanks for sharing updates from Amos. I have to agree my life is idyllic compared to his with merely being hated and poor while he’s in addition doing serious time and now facing three more years in Singapore. For something as banal as refusing military service, but then his “sex crime” conviction for flirting with a teenage girl was even more banal. It’s always banal, isn’t it, when great men are persecuted? Even Jesus was executed for a bullshit crime of supposedly proclaiming himself king of the Jews, and of course Epstein never harmed anybody either.
This resonates with me:
All the great world religions preach to free yourself from your attachment to money, reputation and family. If you do so, nothing threatens you. That's what you can learn from going to prison. If you have nothing, you have nothing to lose. To quote Buddha 'Sometimes you have to lose everything before you gain everything'.
Yeah, I did free myself from money, reputation and family though I still have ambitions about the latter, which also requires money at this point.
I also agree with what he says about fear:
So yes, the people who seem fearless do have fear. In fact, they probably experience more fear than anyone else. I feel fear every day, but it hasn't stopped me from making all the best decisions of my life (like dropping out of school, defending pedophiles, protesting against the Singapore government and being sent to prison a million times). It's alright to be afraid, so long as it doesn't decide your actions in life. In fact, if you're not doing something scary, you're probably not living up to your fullest potential, you're probably not doing what God wants you to do.
Now if only a good number of men would face their fear of saying something politically incorrect now and then, we would be getting somewhere. You don’t all have to go to prison or even be totally cancelled because if unlike me you already have a secure job they can’t usually fire you just for your political views.
I cant see how the school can legally kick you out?! That is insane!
I don’t understand how they can legally kick me out either. It is a moral panic with no sensible basis.
There were two NAV advisors (government employment agency which funds the school) with me at the meeting where I was informed that I was kicked out, and they were actually a bit skeptical of the reason, like they couldn’t quite believe how doing something unrelated to the job initiative could have this effect, but the moral panic is so strong that they went along with it.
Remember this is a cash cow for private owners (of a company called JobLoop). The owners are morally panicked of any association with me. This is not inference, it is what they said: they can’t put their name on any association with me and the owner is freaking out.
Supposedly they base their decision on feedback from a potential employer to whom they sent my CV (and I have never spoken to or been told who is, if they even exist), and then they generalize this to all employers. But really they have no way of knowing nobody would accept me after asking just one company, so they are really more concerned about their own reputation.
It all comes down to the cash cow for government money, I think, and is not a decision made by the government.
Since all I am accused of is expressing opinions I am legally entitled to in appropriate places, namely a personal blog, (never discussing politics offensively at the school), the government does not really care about this activity. It’s all private interests that are offended.
If you believe that the dismissal is illegal, you can complain to the Ombudsman.
