Australian censorship never ends, does it?

  1. Starts with violent or sexually explicit games like Postal, BMX XXX
  2. Extends to weeb games like Omega Labyrinth Z and Valkyrie Drive: Bhikkhuni
  3. Censors adult women who merely look pubescent
  4. Nooses paraphernalia like onaholes
  5. Escalates to possession of videos like the Christ Church shooting
  6. Ban hammers more vidya like Hotline Miami
  7. Goes after toy figurines
  8. Ban hammers even more vidya like Mary Skelter Final
  9. Denies religious freedom

This from a supposedly Western country, and many more on the heels of these footsteps.

It's funny how all the supposedly mild and meek democracies like Australia, UK and Canada lead the way toward totalitarianism. Looks like Plato was right.

Democracy always ends up being "The people in power are the ones who can most effectively manipulate the common voter." Spreading lies and hiding the truth make it far easier to gain control in a system like that.

I'm glad you didn't include NZ, because that was democratically elected authoritarianism, they actually want more of it. There's only sheep in NZ.

They already know and are on the way.

You also have to look at how that democracy is set up. First-Past-the-Post guarantees large parties will remain in power, and grow more and more corrupt. Nobody wants to "waste their vote" so established parties have nothing to fear from smaller or less corrupt "competition." They are also able to force behavior among their candidates being kicked out of the party is a death blow.

It's a meme thread/topic and the religious freedom part was similarly not serious as anyone with 2 brain cells put together can figure out; you're not qualified to lecture anyone.

What if those who're pushing the suggestion of degeneracy are also the ones pushing censorship? Hard to blame them for suggesting self destruction; when they're also suggesting their own antidote...both choices give them power.

If you go against degeneracy they gain censorship power; and if you go against censorship they boost degeneracy.

The way out? Don't consent to any suggestion.

religious freedom

Hilarious. Religion means "to bind anew"; which refers to submission of free will tot he suggestions made by the free will of others. Meanwhile; freedom represents "free" will of choice for balance; within the "dom"-inance of flow upon form aka the original bond.

It's almost like insincere religious beliefs aren't really religious beliefs at all. Fuck those atheist scumbags.

Why would a meme need formal recognition?
