@LukeAlmighty I honestly can't even comprehend these censorious bastards these days. The internet was probably the biggest driving force of globalism. Everyone is aware that the lefties that are pushing these censorship laws and policies are globalists. They probably orgasm at the thought of one world government. But then they go and nerf the one tool that would have brought them globalism by itself, without them doing anything at all.
I know these people are not particularly smart, but this really is a brain dead move.
@beardalaxy @LukeAlmighty I'm wondering if the issue is that they're narcissistic sociopaths, and the issue isn't that it's not the globalism that they want, but rather that it's not THEM that brought upon globalism. Maybe they have a savior complex of sorts, and they want to receive credit for creating the One World Government. So they can't allow the average humans themselves to interact with one another like this and come to a global mutual understanding by themselves.
Cause on the face of it, they don't want people to be racist, islamaphobes, etc., they claim they want everyone to be equal and treat everyone else the same, they want cultures to mix, but then they don't allow humans to freely interact online and learn from and about each other. There's literal studies that show that the best way to reduce bigotry is exposure. You'd think the internet would have been the perfect tool for a natural exposure therapy, where people learn about other cultures, without the socio-economical issues that come from mass migration.
But the internet wasn't their creation, and isn't their domain, so instead they force mass migration as the exposure method, and limit the internet so it can't get credit for creating the multicultural global utopia (in case it ever comes around).
At this point, that utopia is definitely not going to come, because instead of opting for the safe, self-controlled exposure of the internet, they went with unsafe, uncontrolled, mass migration instead.
It's like the difference between trying to cure arachnophobia with exposure to plushies that look like spiders and trying to cure arachnophobia by forcing the person in the same room with hundreds of the most dangerous spiders in the world. One is helpful with reducing trauma, the other will drastically increase it.
The internet had the ability to reduce bigotry, mass migration has the ability to vastly increase it.
@alyx @beardalaxy
I think that your comparasion is insanely accurate, because there is also a 3rd group that you didn't mention. That is kids, who actually grew up next to the spiders, and know how to handle them. They aren't even aftaid, since they just know what spiders truly are.
Therefore, the young generation can no longer be shaken by the raw internet as it is.
