For John, BLUF: Some of us have dropped out of Twitter and Facebook, and it is an inconvenience, but then Big Tech makes us feel unwelcome. How do we fight back? Nothing to see here; just move along.

Here is the lede plus two:
If Monster Tech can aggressively de-platform businesses and individuals for expressing forbidden opinions, then maybe it’s time for skilled tradesmen to respond in kind against the woke left.I like it. I know it is wrong, at some level, but I like it. I would be happy with Earl carrying a roll of hundred mile an hour tape♠ for covvering up the violent, offending, sticker for the duration.Leftists despise working class “deplorables” and seek to punish them for all their disapproved habits – you know - God, guns, motorized vehicles, and voting MAGA. Well, the tradesmen I know are swamped with business right now, so it might be a good time for them to establish their own “terms of service” enabling them to deny services to advocates of cancel culture. We’ve learned from Monster Tech that all you have to do is declare someone’s speech to be “hateful” or state that their speech might “incite violence” to banish someone from receiving service. If a deplorable can be targeted as hate-filled for simply supporting Trump, then a tradesman’s Terms of Service can in turn declare that any visible support for Democrats constitutes hate speech.
Broken down on the side of the road with a Bernie or Biden bumper sticker? Sorry – you’re going to have to find a wrecker that employs all 57 genders and declares all their pronouns. But Earl’s 24-Hour Wrecker won’t be towing your car today. Terms of service, you know.
Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
