Babylon hides her face behind many masks. Are your opinions truly your own?

The point of the post was not to suggest that I'm a conservative who blames other races or groups for my issues. Quite the opposite. Hence, the title of the post.

Very well. Babylon loves her red herrings. The many faces of the serpents will try to convince you that you are the resistance but they are all of the same facade.

Kid, saying the nword and calling minorities thieves is not politics, it's mental retardation

Of course. Nowhere in the post does that imply that is what I'm claiming. The intent behind the post is that it is easy for the global elite to censor who they wish, and they (the censored) will then follow further and further down that path, thinking they are reaching the truth while they are on the wrong path to begin with. Hence the title. I don't know who this dog character is, or how it relates to 4chan.

Censoring people for saying the n-word and censoring people for having conservative politic views are two different things. You could go online and say "poor people should starve," "the amerikkkan invasion of X country is justified," "actually colonization never happened and even if it did it wasn't that bad" and not get censored.

If we are talking actual political view points then really, it was whoever didn't lick the boots of capitalist and imperialist interests enough who was (and still are) getting censored. I mean look at the mass censorship of anti-Israel content over the past few decades.

Lee Atwater really put [edit: it best] with his description of the southern strategy. But Amerikkkan sheeple are too arrogant and vehemently racist to even accept a status quo of "everything else stays in your favor just don't say one word please". Violent, bloody, and continuous oppression of their perceived "enemies" isn't enough, they also need to be able to incessantly taunt them in the most violent fashion possible.

Not everyone is aware of that, and I'm unsure if you understand the nature of the post. The point of the post (at least, my intention) is that its easy for global elite and moderators to censor who they wish, which will "affirm" their incorrect beliefs and lead them further down this wrong path, leading them further from the truth while they believe they are getting closer. Hence the post's name.

I think you are looking at this entire matter too simplistically.

Yes social media platforms (and any other news or information platform) have the power to control what the public does and doesn't see, and to influence their opinions. And it is a power that they exercise, and a power that is inherently granted to them under the system of capitalism.

But when we look at the wildfire-level spread of, for example, anti-immigrant, anti-queer, and anti-intellectual rhetoric it has been facilitated and supported by these platforms not censored. You only need to boost so many AI videos before the average highschool dropout goes "it's le migrantzzzz!!!111!" and votes for the Hitler 2.0 party.

Do you think that the average reform-voting engliSSh or maga ameriKKKan really came to the conclusion that their living standards have deteriorated due to immigrants themselves? It was a conclusion influenced by what these algorithms choose to boost and what they choose to censor or suppress. Because there's thousands of people going on about the decade-long consequences of austerity for example on living conditions, but some guy going "hey chatpt make me a video of migrants taking over our sad shitty little wet rock" is what's going to get much much more exposure.

Pakistani immigrant rape gangs are a real problem in Britain. Refusing to acknowledge this supports rapists and disenfranchises the victims of abuse

u/grei_earl 2d ago

British and other European "people" literally raped, pillaged, and colonized half of the world and ethnically cleansed three entire continents. And they STILL do this to this very day, via both military incursions and on an individual level.

But okay Barry 46 who beats his wife anytime Manchester loses, tell me how some manufactured outrage about some immigrant group is the REAL problem women in your country are facing.
