I didn’t get banned from Twitter. A mob of angry psychos came after me. And many people told me they appreciated the way I stood my ground and didn’t let it shut me up. 

But I fundamentally disagree with your premise which is that they are strong, and we are weak. That we need to hide because they’ll get us, and if we show ourselves we’re doomed. 

No. If I’m a totalitarian regime I want everyone thinking like that. I want them too scared to stand up. 

The last thing I want is every citizen to avail himself of his free speech rights and tell me to fuck off. Then they have a problem. 

It is not they who are powerful and hunting me. I’m am the predator and they should be terrified of the reckoning for what they have done the last three years to our basic liberties and to our institutions. I will see to it they are prosecuted to the extent I can. 

I just need to persuade frightened people to come along. And I will. One at a time if I have to.
