Christian Censorship is Off the Charts
I'm off social media, join my Telegram Chatroom for only $20 a month.
Good evening my art lovers,
Recently the censorship of Christians has been off the charts.
Just this weekend, Michael Knowles and Candace Owens lost their YouTube channels while Tucker Carlson was sent a cease and desist for his Twitter Live show. Christians are the most targeted and persecuted demographic in the world and mentioning any group whatsoever in the same breath is a total joke. Many say the target is conservatism, you're not looking into it deep enough - trust me.
This morning I woke up to a rather disconcerting message from my primary social media platform I utilize being Meta (Facebook & Instagram). Itโs been an incredibly disconcerting on and off relationship utilizing the Meta platform, literally every week Iโve received a new restriction or community guideline strike for being a slightly edgy free speaking, Christian American.
But today, that is a sin to the arbiters of clown world and the brainwashed inhabitants who fall in line. Like a finger snap from the infinity gauntlet the โalgorithmโ can erase your online relevance, erase years of investment financially and socially with incredibly powerful connections through the application. Speaking personally - having access to deeply insightful and influential men like Joe Rogan, Elliot Hulse, Ryan Michler, etc. was the primary perk of my growing Instagram account. There was tremendous value in the realm of artistic influence just by being associated with men of this quality. But all of the reach, conversations and followers Iโve met were flushed down the drain for the spicy explicit content seen below.
Frankly speaking, I am tired of the conversation of cancel culture but because nothingโs changed - I must. Being blacklisted by the NYC fine art world for my public support towards Donald Trump during his 45th election, losing a huge residency opportunity for pointing out the hypocrisy of social justice warriors at a dinner party and now losing over 10,000 followers for being unapologetically Christian that doesnโt fit the stereotype they deem as socially acceptable.
The lesson here is to not invest in an immoral infrastructure, the lesson is to go further into independence and to drop the social camouflage. The lesson is to only paint for those who believe in you in the first place. So once again, for the sixth time in my career as a counter-culture Christian crusader I am pivoting due to authoritarian censorship. (โI think I see a pattern hereโฆ Hmm?โ ๐ค)
I am going off the grid my friends, no more Instagram and YouTube, I am tired of having to pretend like I am not a cultural crusader and look forward to being absolutely unfiltered to a community that keeps it real.
I only want to produce art and be influenced by those who want to support my vision and see the value in my mission and voice behind an affordable paywall, if youโd like to stay in touch with daily engagement/direct communication/influence towards my art - find me on Telegram after becoming a monthly supporter.
