Group DIY Censorship Is Out Of Control

We'll see..

Oh so you tested them.
Keep us posted.

I wouldn't say testing them...
I thought it was funny and very thought provoking at the same time. It's not like it's not true... But I have plenty of friends with sleeves...a couple owned tattoo parlors..etc...
But to think there was a time when people were considered side show freaks for some of these things is interesting... Not sure what to think about it...

What I found there was that truth couldn't be spoken if it offended the overly-sensitive snowflakes.
I found it to be quite funny and humor, good humor, is based on truth.
I'm confident that there are righteous freaks there who will see this as actual employment discrimination against them.

I tested the waters more than once to see if there was a bright line of what was acceptable and what wasn't.
Pretty much everything wasn't acceptable because there's always going to be someone who takes offense at anything.
All it takes is one clown to nuke an entire thread.

I don't have a problem per se with tattoos and some fashion styles. But Thomas Sowell, as usual, explains it best:

People can get attention either from their accomplishments or from their deliberate attempts to get attention. Today, almost everywhere you look, people seem to be putting their efforts into getting attention.

Wild hairdos, huge tattoos, pierced body parts, outlandish clothing, weird statements — all these have become substitutes for achievements.

Great speech by Bret Weinstein:

"I believe we must zoom out if we are to understand the pattern that we are gathered here to explore, because the pattern is larger than federal health agencies and the COVID cartel. If we do zoom out and ask, what are they hiding?

The answer becomes as obvious as it is disturbing. They are hiding everything. It will be jarring for many to hear a scientist speak with such certainty. It should be jarring. We are trained to present ideas with caution as hypotheses in need of a test. But in this case, I have tested the idea, and I am as certain of it as I am of anything. We are being systematically blinded. It is the only explanation I have encountered that will not only describe the present, but also, in my experience, predicts the future with all but perfect accuracy.

The pattern is a simple one. You can see it clearly and test it yourself. Every single institution dedicated to public truthseeking is under simultaneous attack. They are all in a state of collapse. Every body of experts fails utterly. Individual experts who resist or worse, in an attempt to return their institutions to sanity, they find themselves coerced into submission.

If they won't buckle, they are marginalized or forced out. Those outside of the institutions who either seek truth alone or who build new institutions with a truth-seeking mission face merciless attacks on both their integrity and expertise, often by the very institutions whose mission they refuse to abandon.

There is a saying in military circles, once is a mistake, twice is a coincidence, three times is enemy action. I have no doubt that given an hour, the people on this panel could point to a hundred examples of the pattern I have just described, while finding even a handful of exceptions would pose a significant challenge.

We are left in a fool's paradise. Our research universities spend huge sums of public money to reach preordained conclusions. Professors teach only lessons that are consistent with wisdom students have picked up on TikTok, even when those lessons contradict the foundational principles of their disciplines.

Once proud newspapers like the New York Times and Washington Post only report important stories after they have become common knowledge. Morticians must now raise the alarm over patterns missed by medical examiners. The CDC has become an excellent guide to protecting your health, but only for people who realize you should do the opposite of whatever it advises.

The courts, the last holdout in this ongoing inversion of reality, are now regularly used as a coercive weapon of elites against those who threaten them. We have literally witnessed the Department of Homeland Security attempt to set up a truth ministry and declare accurate critique of government as a kind of terrorism.

To my fellow patriots in the West, the pattern is unmistakable. I cannot tell you with any certainty who they are or what they hope to accomplish, but I can tell you that we are being systematically denied the tools of enlightenment and the rights guaranteed in our Constitution.

We, those who remain dedicated to the values of the West, must fight this battle courageously and we must win. For if we do not stem the tide, the result will be a dark age that differs from prior dark ages only in the power and sophistication of the coercive instruments wielded by those who will rule us."

Although this post would be appropriate for the Covid thread it seems equally appropriate for a censorship thread such as this one. Upon reading it I was reminded of all the times I was attacked at GroupDIY simply for truth-telling.

I've followed the Weinsteins, particularly Eric, his brother. In my opinion they are both extremely bright, although oftentimes they can go from jaw-dropping brilliant to obnoxious and nonsensical.

People often ask "Who are 'they'."
