THERE ARE THOSE By William Thorpe

There are those who vociferously claim that calling out politicians is counterproductive. There are those who say, using social media to challenge the fraudulent and self-serving narrative of the Virginia prison official, their Republican allies and Democrat collaborator is a waste of time because, from their experiences hobnobbing with Virginia politicians, has shown that politicians care less about what is said on social media. As such the focus should instead be on flattering politicians in their ornate offices,(which by the way are built on the delusions and naiveté of the general public who are generally denied entrance and access to said politician whose occupancy of said ornate and terrazzo floored office is due to people triumphing over myriad obstacles and impediments to vote for said politician) to achieve the shibboleth of legislative action that will hold the Prison Official accountable and reform the Virginia prison system, consequently the Virginia Department of Corrections. I only say one thing to those minds arguing that: who are you working for? The motive force of social media is irreproachable, it is unimpeachable. It's proof is evidenced by the herculean monetary expenditures devoted towards its use by those same politicians we are told dismiss and won't pay attention to its speech. Look people, society and its social contract is organized on ideas and narratives. When the Virginia Department of Corrections does what it does to prisoners because of inchoate and purposefully undefined laws and its allies subsequently defend it. Acts that are nothing less than extra-judicial practices, based on colloquialisms, suppositions and backwards philosophies. It anticipates and expects support for its actions by slyly introducing its logic to the Virginia public via media, who as a rule never ever challenge the narrative unless the disclosures have exploitive value either for it's bottom line or the existing political opposition of the moment. What legacy or corporate media, for example The Richmond Times-Dispatch enables the prison official and their political overlord allies with is mass dissemination of narrative. So for example when Virginia Republicans during the mid 1990's realized that weaponizing Virginia's parole process allowed them electoral success, The Richmond Times-Dispatch serving as social media enabled the amplification of the abolish parole message, which those who now criticize use of social media fight for its restoration.
