"The stated ideology behind all of this censorship is that individuals do not have the ability to process information, and therefore words that they read on the internet can possess them and cause them to do things. This is a complete denial of human agency and a denial of free will itself, and it certainly brought into question the core premise of democracy, which claims that everyone in society is a fully actualized individual capable of determining how the government is run. The government and media claimed that mass censorship is necessary for democracy to function. The conclusion you would have to draw there would be that if people cannot objectively look at information and they will make decisions purely based on whatever information is put in front of them, then by censoring everything other than the mainstream media, we are creating a situation where the mainstream media dictates the behavior of the people and the direction of society as a whole."

"Another example of the brutal rules-mongering of the nanny state was the censorship agenda. People may forget that the original claim regarding the necessity of abolishing the free speech rights of Americans was that if you said mean things on the internet, people would read it and kill themselves. They then claimed that if you were racist on the internet, you would trick people into committing mindless acts of violence. The final big push was related to the pandemic scam, when people were told that if they voiced disagreement with government policy regarding lockdowns, masks, or vaccines, people would die as a result."

"The leftist agenda to turn criminals into victims has gotten very extreme in recent years, with such concepts as “restorative justice” being put forward (and acted upon) to make the argument that black people should not be punished in the same way as whites. However, this attitude of “sympathy for criminals” goes back to the introduction of the “insanity defense,” which allowed criminals to claim they are not fully responsible for their crimes because they have mental problems. The companion of lessening a punishment because of the criminal’s personal problems is the federal “hate crimes enhancement,” which says you are committing a worse crime if you do it while feeling a certain emotion (this allows whites to be targeted and punished more severely)."
