And I read your post. We share things in common. The arts and entertainment world has been heavily censored, cut up, chopped, had graffiti plastered over it in the form of rating systems, artists blamed for atrocities like school shootings, jokes taken seriously intentionally just to make the artist look demented nearly killing the artform and still actively trying, this list is so goddamn long and it's been going on now for centuries. All entertainment. Never meant to hurt. But it gets converted into that. And if I wanted to be a dick and compare how those with 'basic' political opinions and generic 'news' act when someone steps in to push them around, pretending like it's something new, I'd say they're acting like cowards. Artists have been under fire for centuries and never backed down. One of the most recent bits of insanity was when the FBI classified all fans of Insane Clown Posse as a gang. So with that, a tattoo could cost you your job, a shirt could be enough 'probably cause' to get stopped and frisked or have your vehicle searched and impounded. Pure insanity. And not one of these supposed freedom fighters in social media news and opinion even talks about, because they weren't the ones being inconvenienced. Social media over the past decade and a bit more turned everyone into a member of the arts and entertainment industry. Some become so shocked and appalled at this idea their work might trigger backlash. Acting like it's some new trend that shouldn't happen, while the artists sit there shaking their heads thinking 'where the fuck have you people been all these years...'
Create something that's meant to be thought provoking but not hateful, yet it's treated as hate, so that doesn't make sense. Whereas yourself and other want to hate straight up, then can't figure out why you get hate in return. So of course that doesn't make sense either because it's not even being misconstrued. Punch then pout about getting punched back? That's cowardly. The artists out there get punched for no reason, turn the other cheek, sell another million copies or sell out a stadium. They're trying to cancel Rogan, but he also has artist brain. Watch him let that shit slide right off and get a million more listeners each week. No chance of getting silenced because he doesn't offer anyone any ammo. No weak points in that armor. Not acting like a wimp.
Watch Marilyn Manson in the media after they tried to blame him for Columbine. Cooler than cold. Made anyone challenging him look like a moron for even trying.
There! Now we're even. Thanks for bringing those thoughts out in me. I could clean them up and make a post, but I've already written that post, several ways.
I tucked a message like that between the lines of my most recent post, but I disagree with the idea of bringing like minded types together. Worst case scenario and already proven in history; it just leads to echo chambers, cults, concentrated ideas with limited reach. I think the 'fresh thinking' you speak of involves 'unlike minds' not fearing one another to the point of establishing segregated groupthink. Certain behaviors and thought processes are only shocking to some due to lack of exposure. Society is devolving back into uncontacted peoples surrounding themselves with spiky stick walls. All acting tough and superior on the surface but totally weak and fragile, living in fear of others. I think that shit needs to go.
And while I'm still thinking about this I just want to add how interesting and fascinating it is to watch folks interact when combined with full transparency and a blockchain. It exposes hypocrisy and reveals integrity on levels never seen before in society. Don't take this personally; just a simple observation. You want to silence and poke away at your local government; you say they're doing it to you. The reality is it's people acting the exact same way to one another. Another thing I discovered today was some kind of "quack list" that was quickly destroyed and downvoted into oblivion by the very people putting on a show lately talking about how that sort of behavior should be frowned upon. The lack of honesty and integrity is exactly why these incidents drag on and on. People want to 'win' battles rather than having the courage to put their heads together and figure shit out. Like I said in that post linked above. People too busy fighting their reflections. Takes a lot of strength to be able to see through the mirror. Society is lacking in that department. Stuck in a loop and no idea how to get out.
Do you realize I'm not even attacking you?
Do you realize the accounts that are attacking me are not you?
Yes!

One of the accounts attacking me is the NZ "government" - Hive is just a playground...
So what's your plan?
A parallel society of like minded people - it's building fast, but it requires a lot of setting up and a lot of fresh thinking
