It's probably inevitable, but worth commenting on, that there is bound to be a large amount of burn-out among conservative or right wing bloggers and youtubers.
I just came across a youtube where one of Maolseachlann's favourite YouTubers called Millennial Woes was admitting to something close to depression. Often stuck in a room alone, feeling the need to output videos regularly, and often having all or part of your income depending on it, is difficult over a long period of time.
Add to the above the fact that the media giants and the left wing trolls are out to get you, and they are the de facto 'establishment', then you have great frustration as you fate is out of your control.
It is a thankless task at times and it is all consuming as the madness of our establishment is not for halting. There is a feeling that opposition is important 'now' before things progress into total insanity.
Other youtubers and bloggers like Computing Forever, Gemma O'Doherty, Stefan Molyneux, John Waters and, I'm sure, many others, are waiting for their platforms to be denied to them. Also they are getting more and more exasperated and worn down by the constant battle.
I honestly think that an occasional break from madness of the culture wars is necessary for one's sanity but I hope that all these individuals can keep going as any further censorship or online deplatforming would push the culture wars to further extremes.

Yes, Assisi, I saw that Millennial Woes video too and was very struck by it. Then again, he was depressive before he became a YouTuber. I should point out here that though I am an admirer of Millennial Woes, because he is just such an interesting and thoughtful and honest person and has many brilliant insights on modern life and political correctness, I completely reject his philosophy when it comes to race (he is a white nationalist, more or less) and his Jewish conspiracy theories. But he talks about lots of other stuff, too. As an agnostic who is very positive about religion, I keep hoping he will find faith and specifically Catholicism and I've even prayed for that. I hope the same for Dave Cullen. Funny this thread should be revived. I've recently upgraded my smartphone to a much better one so it may be possible for me to post stuff on a YouTube channel. I'm looking to do that soon, although my life has been chaotic recently so it may not be immediately. I hope it will help me flog my book, along with wanting to make a contribution to social debates.

Good enough might be enough for the moment. These platforms being denied to various freedom fighters would amount to a dead tired strike of a nail to the PC coffin. The sooner or later discovered coffin not to be opened until Evil Empire slavery (possibly labeled Freedom or New Order?) has closed every other doors outwards first...
No hopefully not, a bit more seriously it gets hard to ponder any good developements in the next few years. Generations has been lured into a Liberal-Left snare so long that it must take several generations to even turn the tide. Before tangible health can resurrect - as distinct to the FALSE health cults that will be bombarded out first - there can only be more and more mental suffering.

OK, since I have a new smartphone, I thought I would try to get into YouTube. This is my first, experimental video. I realize the immediate shortcomings: my collar is crooked, I'm talking too slowly, and I hesitate too much. But what the heck, it's a start. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWZ94lRm5lA

Last October, I gave a talk to a Legion of Mary youth conference in Queen's University, on the subject of my book. It's on YouTube now. I have our own Stephen to thank for both!

I see Gemma O'Doherty has had her YouTube channel which contained 4 years of journalism and interviews deleted by Google. She is organising a protest with sympathetic souls outside Google's Dublin HQ today.
