	I recently announced the speaking engagement I would take part in at mythicist Milwaukee's Myth Information Conference, which I'm going to shorten to MythCon for this video.
	I was invited to have a conversation with a progressive podcaster called Thomas Smith.
	The subject is to be the current socio-political topics of the day, namely feminism and social justice.
	These are conversations that are long overdue, and I'm looking forward to cordially discussing the issues.
	Somewhat naively, I thought nothing of this.
	I presumed anyone who wished to see me would book a ticket to the conference, and anyone who didn't wouldn't.
	I didn't think I was important or high-profile enough to warrant a smear campaign in order to get me deplatformed.
	But how wrong I was.
	The organizers of MythCon contacted me to let me know a smear campaign was currently underway by a set of familiar undesirables.
	The first was Mr. Steve Shives, infamous in the atheist community for being the single most intolerant member of it, and notorious because of his remarkable habit of blocking almost everyone on earth.
	He became semi-famous when it turned out he had even blocked major YouTubers such as Dolan Dark and PewDiePie.
	This has garnered Steve a rightly deserved reputation as a censor, as can be explained by TJ Kirk, otherwise known as the Amazing Atheist, whom Steve had previously attempted to silence.
	He's chosen a censor that will protect him from other points of view he doesn't like.
	And he's also appointed himself a censor of that which he has deemed unfit for your eyes and your ears.
	What do I mean by this?
	Well, on his Facebook, when Steve was told I was making a video about him, his reaction was, he's got nothing other than what I've already said publicly.
	In a handful of tweets in one video, believe me, if I had the power to take down his channel, I'd have done it years ago.
	But the dude is already an out-and-out misogynist and racist.
	And that hasn't hurt him.
	So what the hell can I do?
	If I had the power to take down his channel, I'd have done it years ago.
	What chilling words.
	Steve is outright stating that if he had the power to censor and blacklist me, he would do so.
	And this is not just a hypothetical scenario either.
	Steve has actively tried to shut me down.
	After I made my video 20 Answers for Black People, a Pathios blogger named Martin Hughes wrote a diatribe on his blog about what a horrible racist I am and what horrible racists my audience are for making the video one of my most popular.
	Steve then invited Martin Hughes onto his channel so that they could make a 42 minute video dedicated entirely to talking about how racist and horrible I am.
	When we covered their video on my podcast, The Drunken Peasants, this is how Shives and Hughes, whose real name is Peter Mosley, I'm not doxing him by revealing that.
	He's made several public appearances under his true name.
	This is how they reacted.
	Peter, he talked about us for a half an hour.
	Shives, I know, I've been made aware of it by the dozens of abusive tweets sent to me since then by the drunken peasants fans, many of whom are kind enough to tag their tweets with drunken peasants hashtags, so there's no doubt who is inciting it.
	I reported the video to YouTube, but I doubt it'll do any good.
	This is yet another example of Shives' double standard.
	It's okay for him to make a 42-minute video about how horrible and racist I am, all the while never presenting even a fucking shred of evidence that I am racist.
	But if I dare to make a 30-minute response, well, he reports me.
	He tries, as I'm sure he's tried many times before, to shut me up with YouTube's flagging system.
	Remember his words.
	If I had the power to take down his channel, I'd have done it years ago.
	The reason he knows he doesn't have the power is because he's fucking tried.
	The next familiar face is radical feminist academic Dr. Christy Winters.
	Why not take up the strongest, most robust feminist argument you can find and really challenge yourself?
	Dr. Winters routinely disgraces the dignity of her station by participating in the kind of vile behaviour of which she accuses others.
	She's rather well known in the skeptic community as an obsessive stalker and harasser of some of the larger channels, in particular myself and a fellow YouTuber called Bering.
	When Bering had his personal details released to the internet by a social justice activist, Dr. Winters decided she would debase herself by maliciously spreading this information around.
	I will let a YouTuber called Joshua Powell explain.
	You know, there are a few things as pathetic in life as seeing a grown-ass woman go on and on about how she's such an academic intellectual and how mature she is and how smart she is.
	Behave less like a mature, well-adjusted adult and more like a dumbass obsessive teenager, teenage girl, for crushing someone.
	Now, I'm referring to obviously to the latest drama with between Christy Winters and Bering.
	For those of you who may not be up to date with this whole thing, I'm going to bring up speed real quick.
	Basically, the situation where Bering and Christy were having a bit of a heat exchange the other day.
	During that exchange, Bering received some pretty identifying information about Christy, her docs, and such, from anonymous sender, so Bering doesn't know who it is.
	You should be thanking him, to be honest.
	In some regards, he may have even been more courteous to you than you deserved in regards to this doxing.
	Because Christy, let's not forget the fact that you're the same woman who spread his dox around when it was initially released through the ED page.
	Knowing what was on it, you spread it to numerous people to direct them to see it because you have a fairly large following.
	Dr. Winters' channel is essentially a drama channel that has become something of a parody of itself.
	She contends that she is anti-racism and anti-sexism, but dedicates most of her time attacking and defaming centre-left liberals and fellow anti-racists and anti-sexists such as myself, and never,
	ever addresses the actual racists or misogynists in the old right to the point where it's become a well-known meme bearing bearing trump sargon trump bearing bearing bearing sargon bearing bearing trump bearing bearing sargon bearing sargon bearing bearing bearing trump that's like even lower right That's healthy.
	The next serpent to bite was the notorious P.Z. Myers, best known for his wholesale rejection of one religious faith, only to adopt another.
	Without evidence, he accused me of being a misogynist and a racist.
	He might be one to take either of these things on faith alone, but I am not, and I suspect the organizers of MythCon are not either.
	Then came a radical feminist called Chrissiocity, who I am only aware of as someone who was recently suspended from Twitter for harassing me.
	Chrissy promised a continuous, sustained campaign of harassment against me, which is why she was suspended.
	She does appear to have learned her lesson from this, however, and now refers to me as Mr. Benjamin.
	I congratulated her for learning good manners, and she subsequently blocked me.
	We finally come to the unmemorable dregs of the social justice community that has essentially formed to oppose me personally.
	This tweet by Music Man Mike, accusing me of being a hate monger and a bigot, is, as with Peasy, unfounded character assassination.
	But as you can see, this is the value this little hateful community is absolutely founded upon.
	It amazes me how much they obsess over me, creating various, poorly done photoshops of them burning me at the stake, or simply declaring themselves to be the anti-sargonites, or creating parody accounts by which to strawman and defame me.
	After years of enduring these people, I decided I would simply ignore them.
	This was quite a relief to me, and I thought that they would find some other victims to attack.
	Why I didn't expect this community of harassers to attempt to sabotage any attempt at dialogue that I would have, I don't know.
	I suppose I am far too optimistic about the good in human nature.
	I thought my interaction with them was encouraging them, and if I stopped, they might take a good look at themselves and perhaps reflect on their own behaviour.
	Instead, they continue to disgrace themselves with absolutely no hint of self-awareness and no sign of ever attempting to reform.
	But the worst of the group is without a doubt, a journalist called Dan Arell.
	He is a self-described anarcho-communist and appears to have lost touch with reality.
	For example, criticising the atheist community for criticising Islam and claiming they promote white nationalism.
	He has told the same lie regarding me and has also promoted the lie that Lauren Southern was attempting to kill refugees.
	He is insistent on spreading Marxist ideas, the very ideas that led to the deaths of tens of millions of people in the 20th century.
	It should come as no surprise that he not only admires his fellow communist thugs known as Antifar, a group registered by the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security as a domestic terrorist organisation, but he encourages people to join them.
	If it's not enough that Dan Arell encourages people to join a terrorist organisation, he also pens screeds against liberals in favour of political violence.
	He claims that when Antifar were beating civilians and smashing property in many protests and riots, such as at Berkeley, this was somehow self-defense.
	I think the most ironic part of Dan's lunatic social media presence was his retweeting of Judd Legum, who observed correctly that white supremacists are not concerned about free speech, just hours after he had attempted to shut down my free speech by having me deplatformed from Mythcon.
	The only reason they are embarking on this campaign of character assassination against Shu, Skeptic and myself is because they are trying to hold back the incoming tide that has built up against the one-sided narratives they have concocted in order to exclude people who are skeptical of social justice from having their legitimate concerns aired.
	I would say to the organizers of Mythcon that it would be wrong to bow to the pressure of this small group of bullies, harassers and terrorist sympathizers.
