Banning blogs

Hypertree feels that the only thing that should be free is a copy of Karl Marx’s Das Kapital. So that those of us on the side of the exploited and the oppressed can beat on the head of the hegemonists with it. Hypertree is thus amused at the furore about a lack of free-speech in the Indian Blogosphere at a recent banning of blogs by the Indian Government.

If Hypertree’s readers need any more reason to back this ban than to watch the hegemonists sputter about rights to speak freely about anything other than the glorious justice of communism; it is that there is little doubt that it is our CPIM leaders who are behind this noble crusade.
Hypertree of course has its sources, but an astute blog ban observologist has but to take one look at some of the banned blogs, like Expose the Left and Hindu Human Rights and be left with no doubt as to the righteous hands behind such a noble crusade.

Hypertree is cognizant of the tender sensitivities of its compassionate readers, so to provide the readers with a sanitized sample, it decided to brave doubtlessly hazardous exposure to fascism by going to the ExposeTheLeft website.
Now Hypertree is no stranger to depravity, but even its wordly wise ways had not prepared it for posts titled “Industrial production up 0.8% in June” and “Court reinstates Nebraska’s same-sex marriage ban”.

Dazed, Hypertree looked at the list of the banned sites again, to find something less hazardous to Hypertree’s weak stomach; only to find a ghastly titled princesskimberley.blogspot.com.
Hypertree could not bring itself to visit this website, but just from its name, thoroughly supports its ban, and perhaps even a fine on its author.

As for the Hindu Human Rights website which is fighting for the human rights of the oppressive and fascist Hindus, no doubt upper caste ones at that, Hypertree is glad that our idols of compassion, our CPIM leaders, are showing these idolators their place.

The noble crusade was extended by the progressive ISPs to encompass the entire hegemonist set of blogspot and typepad blogs. There is a reason why Hypertree is hosted on WordPress and it is that it was told that WordPress practices sustainable electron farming, and is hosted on fair-trade servers. Which must also be why the progressive ISPs and our CPIM leaders have not banned WordPress.

Hypertree is beside itself with rejoicement, for there could be little doubt that under the able stewardship of our enlightened CPIM and Congress leaders, India’s utopia is getting nearer and nearer.
