We’re at war. It’s not a kinetic war, but a war nonetheless.
For years shit-posters, trolls, bloggers, podcasters, and vloggers have been under attack. They’ve been kicked off of Social Media, depersoned, and financially broken. The bend is always the same; libertarians, conservatives, anarchists, populists, and every other anti-establishment personality that refuses to conform to the status quo centrism of perpetual war (mass murdering women and children for the heinous crime of being born in a foreign nation), perpetual debt ($27,000,000,000,000 and growing at an exponential rate), economic fascism (corporate state cartels and enforced monopolies), mass surveillance, censorship, and black lists are destroyed through a concerted effort of the big tech media banking trifecta.
Even little old me finds myself under attack as of recent. In May of 2020 Year Zero began to hit its stride. It wasn’t perfect, recording podcasts out on the road is challenging and I’ve had my share of quality issues with sound and signal, but growth started ticking up rapidly. I received an email from Apple that I found encouraging - Year Zero had breached the top 75 in the genre of politics. Not too bad for a no name trucker constantly struggling with scheduling and energy.
But suddenly in late July the 4 and 5 star ratings I’d been receiving came to a halt and a barrage of 1 star ratings and a few bad reviews hit my Apple rating. I dropped from a solid 4.5 star podcast to a 2.5 star podcast, nowhere near the top 100 anymore.
This appears to be a concerted effort, and it seems to be ramped up with the censorship of other voices by big tech since the election of Joe Biden. The cathedral and its androids want dissident voices silenced; especially voices like mine reaching blue collar Americans. My anti-intellectual assault on their narratives and revised history relates to the truck drivers, construction workers, welders and pipe fitters, mechanics, drunkards, and deplorables. The last thing they want is a coalition of gritty no nonsense men and women rejecting their WASPY over educated sophistry and demanding complete freedom from their blood-soaked regulatory grip.
Help me fight back against these monsters. Go to your favorite podcast feed, subscribe, rate (5⭐️), and review Year Zero. We can push these ratings back up and tell the elites to go to hell. It’s up to all of us to support each and every creator that we rely on - donate $1 or $2 a month, grant us 5 star reviews, and share our work as we continue to build our brands and fight the propaganda war in the interests of our children and grandchildren.
