Re: do you find that you're censoring yourself?
Yes, as a matter of fact, I was just about to add a comment to a post here on GLP and I just stopped and went to another thread. At the rate things are going, every comment we make could possible be used against us no matter and it can be twisted.
I don't want to be a coward, so I still say things to those around me--and I stand up for my beliefs, but I do censor my opinions a lot.
 Quoting: wkk


this is also a good point, despite the moran that commented before me. questions pop up when i am about to hit that post button like, is this legal? and all i am thinking is that i fucking loathe biden and the dems. cheers mate
 Quoting: JJ Johns


If you are the kinda moran that needs to stop and think hard about whether something you are going to say or post on the internet has legality issues then one has to wonder just what the hell sort of things you discuss about on the internet.

Last thing I will say to this is...

"If you were ever curious or wondering about who rules over you or is controlling things, just find out who it is that you can't openly criticize or question about".
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79502974


You do realize it's illegal to deny certain events or question the ethics and motives of certain people in many parts of the world, right?

Your first paragraph seems to contradict the last.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75580153


You do realize what you just said is that you live in fear and let so called authority figures intimidate you into thinking there are things or events you can't discuss.

Ever really think of why that is? Maybe because it's all deceptive bullshit and if they let people research and discuss it then the truth would be exposed?

And not really, at first I thought maybe you meant things like talking about murdering people and that kind of law issues.

I used to be afraid of career suicide, but I really don't give a shit anymore.

I'm not going to go down being a coward.

I have a FB account for my artwork with about 3000 highly liberal followers, and they're going to get an earful whether they like it or not.
 Quoting: President BFD


if you were ever going to be scared of your career and regarding what you discuss on the internet, then why would you use data-mining profiling social media apps or websites?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79502974


Because hiding in fear is not in my nature one bit.

Re: do you find that you're censoring yourself?
Not really...I have waited for 3 years for people who told me to shut up to come back around to 'weren't you saying a decade ago that...' so now. The scales seem balanced. It is now time to tip them in the direction of truth rather then muddled lies and MSM sludge.

Re: do you find that you're censoring yourself?
At a time of great persecution you should always learn to censor yourself less, and be more mentally resilient in the face of any tyranny.

When those that up the anti try to censor, then those on the receiving end of that censorship should deflect it and create new countercultures that are more resilient and robust.

This is a perfect time to be alive, to thrive and to create something beautiful.

 Quoting: JJ Johns


I would say to some degree, I avoid discussing anything related to politics or covid with co-workers, although I'm remote so it's a little different.

The recent time I mentioned something about masks to someone, they just said "it's not that hard to wear one".

I just left it at that, fuck, it's not that hard to wear one, so we should just do whatever we are told, regardless if it is justified, has any affect at all (it does not), or even legal depending on how it is implemented and the state.

I am still verbose with my friends, but my family (outside of my house), I am not.

People have their beliefs, they've been brainwashed, and anything can set them off. There are other topics to discuss. I'm not on a mission to change everyone's mind, I know what I believe and that's all that's important.

That said, I do find myself paying much closer attention to those around me. I would truly hate to learn that anyone I know is someone that I really don’t know. So far, however, I’m pretty certain that I’ve been blessed to know very real people willing to say what they think.

Absolutely, you have to. If you are a professional in any industry and want to stay that way, you MUST sensor yourself or you're out. Doesn't matter what you think you have, they will bring down ANYONE that disagrees. It's quite literally survival mode.

Re: do you find that you're censoring yourself?

Most of my clients are liberals. super sweet, loving, people..but not when talking about conservatism or the election, or vaccines. geez. It surprised me a bit with a few of them; I thought for sure they were not as brainwashed as they are. God love them. I opened up to one of them a bit and she totally misunderstood me, took it all personally (and in the wrong way on top of that), and nearly let me go.

As a sole income earner in the family, I decided to just shut up and do my job. Not let them know my heart on certain things.

Sucks though. I feel like a loser that I am afraid I'll lose my work if I speak my mind.

You know, that is enough. When the time comes, it will be a terrible 'I told you so'...as they all are. SO remain silent, because you must. Just help those who do speak up. That would be the most salient point of this discourse.
