| This is truly the dark age of the information era.
I think statements like this are hysterical and ahistorical. The amount of actual censorship and the way moral panics occurred throughout history make twitter dogpiling look absolutely quaint in comparison.
I don't disagree with Kazuo Ishiguro one bit, but I think all it means is that authors need to get thicker skin, because unlike the past, they can read their readers opinions.
- A4ET8a8uTh0 6y ago"I think statements like this are hysterical and ahistorical." I find this line of defense interesting. Can you elaborate a little further, because I would want to avoid putting words in your mouth? Are suggesting that the overall volume of censorship is lower so it can be ignored and explained away? I find your perspective somewhat fascinating.
- heterodoxxed 6y agoAnyone who thinks there is more censorship today can only believe that by ignoring the vastly greater censorship that has historically existed.
