PetaPixel: Nantucket Antique Store’s ‘No Influencers’ Sign Angers Content Creators. “An antique store on Nantucket has caused a stir after erecting a “no influencer” sign in its cozy island boutique. John Sylvia operates Four Winds Craft Guild and says he’s noticed more and more influencers entering his quaint shop and filming without permission. He finds it rude.”

“Politeness blunts the tongue of criticism, ridicule, satire or irony. On the other hand, radical rudeness breaks down the doors to the arsenal of verbal, literary, and linguistic devices available to launch a counterattack against corrupt militant brutes in government who use bullets, prison sentences, and mass graves to silence their opponents.“
