This Carbon Based Life

{Warning: He’s asking for money again.}

By David Glenn Cox

Facebook in its infinite automated wisdom banned my post for today. “Thank You 1960s” as Spam. They are free and completely within their rights to do so. Our (my) only solace comes from knowing they are slowly strangling the goose that laid the golden eggs.

But Facebooks real issue is much deeper. They want to make money any fucking way they possibly can. So, what they want me to do is to pay them. Then, all will be fine with the world! Why for $26 you can get up to 800 views! It’s never worked before, but you never know. (up to) No promises and no guarantees, but you could get up to! Seven is almost up to and fifteen is damned near on top of up to. 15 is almost up to 800.

It’s freedom of the suppress at work. I won’t pay them, so they choose to suppress. I’m not violating any of their rules except for one. Give us Money!  

It all  boils down to simple Newtonian arithmetic. I don’t have any money and since you won’t give me any money. So, Mother Hubbard goes to the cupboard and Facebook goes without.  And they ban a puff piece on unicorns and bunnies as spam. Sure, that’s what it is, it’s spam! Are their any links in it? No. Any attempt to deceive or hide the true origin of the post? Nope.

Facebook really doesn’t want me around and view me as the worst sort of urban guerrilla. Sooner or later, they will make their prohibitions stick, and I will be gone from the pages of Facebook once for all, at least, until I cough up some cash. Then, I can say anything! I could be Prager U telling lies while pretending to be a university. It all depends on the amount cash laid out.

On a good day, This Carbon-Based Life once got between 300 and 800 views a day. Then suddenly, as if someone threw a switch, that Facebook number suddenly dropped down to less than a hundred. Funny peculiar, huh?

I could use the Tucker Carlson model and borrow $2 million from my rich friends with an unlimited line of credit. Failing that perhaps a series of smaller donations. But I understand, the money is on the other side. It’s hard to find benevolent billionaire in this country willing to support a meaningless leftist website. But you’d think in a big country like this, there would at least one!

It’s like ole Woody Guthrie said;
“I hate a song that makes you think that you are not any good. I hate a song that makes you think that you are just born to lose. Bound to lose. No good to nobody. No good for nothing. Because you are too old or too young or too fat or too slim or too ugly or too this or too that. Songs that run you down or poke fun at you on account of your bad luck or hard travelling. I am out to fight those songs to my very last breath of air and my last drop of blood. I am out to sing songs that will prove to you that this is your world and that if it has hit you pretty hard and knocked you for a dozen loops, no matter what color, what size you are, how you are built, I am out to sing the songs that make you take pride in yourself and in your work. And the songs that I sing are made up for the most part by all sorts of folks just about like you. I could hire out to the other side, the big money side, and get several dollars every week just to quit singing my own kind of songs and to sing the kind that knock you down still farther and the ones that poke fun at you even more and the ones that make you think that you’ve not got any sense at all. But I decided a long time ago that I’d starve to death before I’d sing any such songs as that. The radio waves and your movies and your jukeboxes and your songbooks are already loaded down and running over with such no good songs as that anyhow.”
