F@ckin’ Moranz
So.
The gov’t outsourced its spying on the people to private corporations and most are ‘okay with it’. It’s Not the gov’t doing it, so it’s ‘All Good’.
Now, we’ve got the gov’t outsourcing Censorship to those same corporations and again, most are ‘okay with it’. It’s Not the gov’t doing it, so it’s ‘All Good’.
What the Fuck Happened to these people?
I Know what’s Wrong with them(they’re Fucked in the Head), I just don’t know what happened to them.
In an Era where gov’t has outsourced Everything to ‘private corporations’ that have now taken over Everything that ‘matters’ in public life, people are ‘okay with it’ because it Isn’t gov’t ‘doing it’?!?
What. The. Fuck. No question mark.
Are we Actually that propagandized we don’t SEE the merger betwixt gov’t and corporations(Mussolini’s definition of fascism)?
Seriously?
I’ve winessed Forty Years of attacks on ANY(and all) institutions for the betterment of Society as a Whole just Decimate the fraying fabric trying to hold us(US) together.
And it’s working.
We are more scattered, fragmented, and shattered as a people than I’ve ever witnessed before.
I can’t talk politics in my Own Family(familiar, I’m sure), let alone to half of you here(hyperbole? Maybe not).
The Many comments in favour of dickhead being de-platformed(censored) stating flat out ‘I’m okay with it’ Blows my Mind(and I’ve Already done multiple Bong Hits)!
What. The. Fuck.
Memory span shorter than my Dick doesn’t BEGIN to cover it.
If your cheering for Any kind of censorship, you’re Fucked In The Head.
If your cheering for these corporations to do so, YOU’RE FUCKED in the Head.
If you Believe for One Second that such an action will Not come back to Bite You in the Ass, YOU ARE FUCKED IN THE HEAD..
You may as well be Pro War, Pro Austerity, Pro Police, and Pro Corporations.
Fucked In The HEAD.

Good essay, tbu!
You are 100% correct - agreeing to censorship of any kind will not serve anyone well except for those that are doing the censoring! The American people are asleep. The virus is here to wake them up. As we can see, people are refusing to wake up so the virus is mutating. The universe is in charge - not those people who think they are in charge. Vaccine will do no good against the universe and the fact that the earth is raising it's vibration, most of the people are raising their vibration, as we live to see a new consciousness take hold on the earth. It will come - just believe - live in love.
What would love do in this situation? Be love.
"The “jumpers” reminded us that one day we will all face only one choice and that is how we will die, not how we will live." Chris Hedges on 9/11
TPTB may have outsourced the censorship, but not the spying
Remember what Bill Binny taught us? (3 min) The NSA collects everything from your calls to your emails and I imagine have them stored in Bezo's cloud.
I'm in total agreement about the evils of corporate or any censorship.
“Until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.”
Both you are correct, the NSA can spy on everything and since
911, the government has additionally outsourced spying in a huge way, with corporate complexes and thousands of employees dotting the hills around DC, indeed in centers across the country, all private corporations.
My very first protest
way back in the dark ages was against censorship when the administration at my college censored a student literary publication. I do not remember the details, but even then my politically unaware self understood the danger of censorship. Censorship was the number one reason I left the other place too.
Without the freedom to openly express and discuss ideas, regardless of their merit, we are not a truly free people. The First Amendment guarantees our right to free speech when addressing our government. One of the things that the government has done to get around the First Amendment is to outsource the regulation and censorship of our ability to speak freely to private corporations which are not bound by the First Amendment. This public/private
partnershipmerger is one of the traits of Fascism.This country is rapidly heading down a very dangerous road and it will be expedited by the incoming Biden administration. We are looking at some very dark days ahead.
Great rant, Tall,Bald,and Ugly! You hit the nail on the head.

“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." ~ President John F. Kennedy
Careful...
you are coming very close to advocating censorship of those that advocate for said censorship.
Where do i
do that in my post?
I’m calling out a dichotomy/schism that seems to have happened in people that I suspect are More competent in their thought process than I am(doesn’t take much)!
dRumph derangement syndrome run amok to the Maxx.
My observation, anyway.
Don’t make me write Another essay on That!

Nietzsche...
Opining of "fucking moranz" that are "fucked in the head" because they disagree with you proves an intolerance that IS the abyss staring back. And may I remind you that some of those "moranz", as you put it, are right here at c99. May I also remind you that folks are free to express themselves here without being labeled as "fucked in the head".
I am not
disputing that I could be the one that’s Fucked in the Head(another story), but when rational discourse boils down to’ I’m okay with it’ At This Moment In Time For This Instance, how would You classify that thought process?
Pretzelized? Convoluted? Orwellian?
I’m a simple person(simpleton?), fucked in the head is the best you’ll get from me.
And I Never thought I’d get gaslit from the owner of this blog about something so fundamental as censorship.

Plain and simple...
I'm telling you to stop insulting people.
Now, with that said, are you insinuating that I'm a nazi?
I hope not.
Never would I
accuse someone of that!
Trying to point out that even views that are flat out Wrong have play.
And what will you do when they shut THIS place down?
As I point out in another comment, this is the edge of the Cliff and the lemmings are stampeding.
Metaphorically* sometimes all you can do is punch someone in the face to wake them up. It ain’t pretty, it ain’t Nice.
But if it keeps them from jumping. . . ?

So your point is...
that folks that don't agree with you and are "flat out wrong" as you say, are so stupid that you must punch them in the face to wake them up? That is totally antithetical to the premise of this site, our don't be an ass rule, you do understand that, right?
So, to clarify,
the owner of an independent blog site is defending people advocating for censorship of independent blog sites?
Do I have that right?
I Totally understand the dbad rule.
One more time for those in the nosebleed seats; if you are advocating for censorship of any kind, you are Already a Dick and I will call you out for it.
Is this the hill I’m willing to die on? And for?

Accusing myself of...
defending censorship is one of the most ludicrous things I've seen posted on this site. My problem with you and this essay is your insults, both to myself and other members of this board. You have a long history of doing just that.
Since you are aware of the rules here and still insist on being a dick I will accommodate your request. I now give you the cross from which you wish to hoist yourself upon, high on the hill you chose.
I have thick skin but I have my limits.
Censorship = Fascism
EDIT: Hat Tip to snoopydawg for letting me embed a tweet
I never knew that the term "Never Again" only pertained to
those born Jewish
"Antisemite used to be someone who didn't like Jews
now it's someone who Jews don't like"
Heard from Margaret Kimberley
Correct!
It is not government censorship. It is contract provisions.
You can be glad or not, but it is not the government cracking down on us, for which I am truly thankful.
I expect the government to pass a Patriot Act II. That is when we will know what actual censorship feels like.

Alex Jones must abide by the same terms of agreement
as you do, and that Trump must.
Jones and Trump know NOW what I knew already.

Terms so vague
anyone for any reason could get booted.
But not threatening NK with nuclear disaster?
Not boasting about illegally assasinating a gov’t rep in a third party country?
These don’t get you booted, but saying you’ll leave office peacefully gets taken down and dRumphs banned?
Okay, then.

Take it up with the corporations.
Hire a corporate lawyer who might explain it to you in a free consultation.
Trump did not get banned until he called for DOMESTIC violence. Government calls for foreign violence are not governed by the 1st Amendment.
