Just as a marker on the road to the complete loss of freedom of speech as well as losing my mind, here is my full post Facebook deleted.
Their anonymous censors stated the post below violates “community standards” and because of that I was forbidden from posting or commenting for 24 hours.
Since anyone reading this is part of my “community,” I leave it here for you to judge.

1Americans travelled thousands of miles to kill hundreds of thousands of Asians who were no threat to them and thought nothing of it. A religious net with a sex fetish kills a handful of Asians and America goes full tilt self flagellation mode.
Even the Gods are perplexed.

2Your FB post was absolutely shocking and made me clutch my pearls so hard I nearly choked! Thank you Mark Zuckerberg for protecting me from this sort of hatefulosity! Even more interesting though was FB’s reply. Are their “standards” for hate speech and “inferiority” public information? And what do they mean by “inferiority” anyway? If I were to post on FB that only “stupid hicks” voted for Trump would I get banned too? Inquiring minds want to know – but FOIA doesn’t apply to private megacorporations either.

3Well Joe, you may have clutched your pearls in horror but I actually had the vapors and fainted. Zuckerberg is one odd duck. Oops, I risk punishment from Facebook for being an avian hater and guilty of feather profiling. !

4John: So speaking as the two most “vocal” members of PVB’s current “We Meant Well” community, I guess we have spoken on the subject of his “shockingly outrageous” and bannable FB comment. His FB post clearly shows he is a super big meanie, and deserves to be spanked soundly (by his wife, husband, significant other, or other sentient or non-sentient sex toy of choice – but only if he consents to it!) and in addition must also do six shots of good quality tequila over the course of an evening while watching “The Hurt Locker.” (My absolute favorite Iraq movie so far, because while it’s complete shite in terms of detail, is also spot on in its depiction of human emotion in these circumstances, at least for knuckle dragging apes like me.) So it is spoken, so it shall be done!
PVB: In a previous post you mentioned some heart issues. Take care of yourself man, and use the health benefits State “gave” you (grudgingly, like the arrogant and hypocritical pricks our bureaucrats so often are,) that so many other Americans don’t have access to. (But I’m sure Biden and company will fix all that, now that they completely control the USG and we’re in the middle of an epic pandemic!) We need guys like you dude. And you also need to drink way more tequila before you say adios muchachos!

5Joe: Have you watched the film IN THE VALLEY OF ELAH? The message of the film doomed it at the box office.
CasaMigos for PVB- nothing less! I sense that PVB and Joe Bageant would have had enjoyed discussing our dysfunctional empire.
