Conspiracy theories Give me a break.
You need to separate your dislike for traffic shaping (which I share) from your conspiracy-theory dislike for governments in general.
Let's get our facts straight, shall we? For years now you can download tons of anti-government and pro-jihad videos online and no one will try to stop you. On the other hand, try posting a video that is said to be anti-Islam and you'll find yourself the target of death threats, legal threats and internet censorship faster than you can blink. Here is a recent example: »yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=···/1914238
If there is any sort of censorship going on in North America, it isn't in the direction you claim it is. If anything, I've seen the left censor the right but not the other way around. Try to even *hint* that Global Warming is a debatable topic and you'll see what I mean.
I'm not saying I personally believe one way or another. I am simply pointing out that in my experience people on the left have been censoring people on the right far more often in recent history than the other way around. Extremists on either end of the stick are a bad thing, period. |
