Why Deplatforming Works

De-platforming works because if they move me one website over, in fact, you can go to onewebsiteover.com, onewebsiteover.com.
If they move me one website over, I'm gone, baby.
I'm gone.
That's why it works.
Because typing in, say, youtube.com, I can do that.
Right?
But typing in freedomain.com or, you know, subscribing off the other video platforms that I'm on, well, that's just not possible, man.
I can only do so much.
Steph, you should absolutely risk life and limb, have your reputation shredded, have your finances, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
You should absolutely take all these risks for the cause of truth, reason, and liberty.
But man, if they ask me to go one website over...
I mean, come on, man, I'm only human.
That's like...
So, you know, you get that I was kind of dangling over a precipice right back in the day.
And I do that, you know, I have a particular skill slash homoerotic fetish for truth.
So I get that I'm willing to sort of take those risks.
But all the people who are saying, wow, you're still around.
I used to love your work, man.
I don't know what happened to you.
It's like, I'm one website over.
You know, so this is my analogy.
You know, whether I'm right or wrong, I'll just sort of give you my analogy and you can tell me whether it makes any sense at all, right?
So I know a lot of y 'all were very passionate about the work that I did and I absolutely, completely, totally and deeply, humbly appreciate that with every last fiber of my soul.
But it's like, imagine I'm your best friend, right?
And I've been...
Let's call her Anna, right?
Because nothing's better than a good palindrome of lust.
So, Anna.
I love Anna.
Anna's the greatest.
She's the one.
She's my soulmate, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And I'm dating Anna, and it's going along fantastically, man.
We're going to get married.
We're going to have babies together.
that we're going to found an empire of truth, lust, reason, and growth.
And then, Anna...
Instead of 779 Main Street, she's 781 Main Street.
She is one house over.
And you say, how are things with Anna?
This woman you were so passionate about and loved and were going to make family, babies, dynasty, everything.
Love of your life.
Twin soul.
She completed you.
And I say, oh, God, Anna, that's right.
Jeez.
Oh, that's so funny.
I have not thought about Anna in, oh, gosh, months, really.
And then you say, what?
God, what happened?
What terrible thing happened?
That you completely forgot about Anna, love of your life, light of your heart, twin of your soul.
Plato's Play-Doh merging together in one swirl of united color.
What happened, man?
What terrible tragedy happened?
And I say, oh, yeah.
Well, she moved like a house further away.
Wouldn't you be like, what now?
Sorry, did I...
This love of your life moved one house further away and you forgot about her completely?
I mean, how ADHD are you, brother?
Wouldn't that be a strange thing to He's not showing up in my feed and I'm helpless to do any kind of search.
What was the name of that show?
Was it...
No?
Free Domain?
Free Domain?
Oh, yeah.
Okay, let me just try FreeDomain.com.
And Anna comes back, topless, doing the Dance of the Seven Veils, grinding you like a pepper shaker, doing the kind of lap dance that has your hips become two-dimensional.
One website over!
But apparently, for a lot of people, that's just a bridge too far.
