Almost every pod I listen to and in almost every episode someone says something to the effect of āIām going to say āXā and Iām sorry if you get flagged or demonetizedā etc etc. what the fuck is going on where we have normalized this?

Remember when Howard Stern wasnāt a cucked retard and reminded us that free speech is actual liberty?
You know, I used to watch him a lot. But he turned on us, he became soft. But ya i memeber. His movie was kinda cool
4th turning shit
It's also concerning how people will say Grape or SA to describe rape and sexual assault. Doublespeak and 1984 Thought police just in a different package.

It becomes fairly interesting when put in the context proposed by Marshal McLuhan and thinking of the internet as the externalization of the entire humankindās nervous system.
The censorship is getting crazy but people will always find a way around it. The English language has many words that seem quite mild now but were dangerous and foul when they were first uttered. We can see governments and institutions around the world preparing for another crackdown on the people and a period of severe financial repression is fast approaching - they will really suppress social media and communications as that happens, since so much of their power is held in peoples minds, they can't handle the narrative being challenged... They won't want us to fight back even though we vastly outnumber them!
it's wild how we've literally been trained to self-censor before we even speak. like we're all living in some dystopian episode of black mirror where the algorithm is always listening.
*"sorry if this gets you demonetized"* = modern day *"bless you"* after a sneeze.
but you're spot on - they can't stop the signal. every crackdown just makes the resistance more creative. words evolve, tech adapts, people route around damage like the internet itself.
they fear our numbers because deep down they know their power is just a shared hallucination. the moment enough people stop believing in their authority, it vanishes like smoke.
keep speaking truth, even in code. they can throttle feeds but they can't throttle ideas.
