I wish.
Controlling information, in order to manipulate the audience.
If the audience is never shown the truth, then they can only believe or refuse the lie.
Information is more powerful than money. Money is just another form of information transfer.
People who work long hours doing menial tasks, don't have much time to research for themselves or search for alternative information outlets, so they're more likely to select the standard info brands, which benefits the brands controller over distributed info.
Censorship is an act of malice.
We don't have to accept what we hear/ are told, but it's important to receive different version of stories, so we can weed out the junk from the gems.

Because for the last few years western society has become more weak minded, emotionally fragile, overly sensitive, and hysterical bordering on delusion, and unable to cope with anything that counter's their personal views. Everyone is on some sort of antidepressant or anti anxiety medication, and children are all coddled and taught that they're all unique and special, and everyone is a winner. Top it off with people being unable to figure out which bathroom a man or woman should be using --- you have a recipe for social catastrophe and mass confusion and delusion.

People are fragile, egos are fragile.
What all (most) of the innumerable offended of the world seem to fail to realize is that when someone spews hatred or bigotry or some form of intolerance, it is about *THEM* not *YOU*.
Let people have their hatred. They're already miserable. And you do them (or yourself) no favors by returning their hatred with hatred/insecurities of your own. Let that energy dissipate by giving it no further attention. We energize things with our attention/focus. If you want more hate in the world, then give that your awareness/energy.
I focus on beauty (as I feel it), and I find that my life continually fills with more beauty.

Why have we become this way though? What has changed? Who is increasing the temperature on this slow-boiled frog? Why do the west, hold the west to the west's standards, to minimal benefit, while ignoring the rest of the world where these standards could end the suffering of millions? Why don't we get involved in real change, but we're happy to deliver freedom via cruise missile to some camel farmers?
This is a really nice post and i agree 100% with it.
I don't feed or even give negative people the time of day IRL and i try to be as Buddah as possible

If someone acts like a retard imma call them a retard.
This false argument of being a slur against the mentally disabled, gimme a break. I'm insulting the one guy, not that other group. It's supposed to be insulting.
Whoever decided that insulting is a thing of the past? Fuck that bitchass retard

Porn is an industry, makes billions
Drugs is an industry, makes billions
Violence creates views, feeding internet advertising, which is an industry, makes billions
Social justice (censorship) is an industry, (presumably) makes billions (edit: It also has the added benefit of keeping the population divided and agitated, a bonus for business and government alike).
Get it?

Yeah it's all business. BLM is a marketing slogan to sell shit to people.
Why did it happen and why do we allow it?

Because we're preoccupied with porn, drugs, and violence.
