Pray to $DEITY is spot on. American's aren't censored overtly - instead every speech act is filtered through the prism of economics and markets and folks are making cost-benefit calculations on everything they say.
Have you ever felt like if you said how you really felt that your life would be ruined? Congrats, you experienced $DEITY enforcement and bent the knee.
- Terr_ 2y agoThat sounds like a coded/oblique complaint against cases of: "I was racist online and now my employer doesn't want to have anything to do with me." Injustice and unjust-ostracization exist everywhere, but it's like that Churchill quip about democracy: Even a flawed system can still be the best compared to the alternatives. I'd rather be in an environment where everyone's interests and actions are visible, with a diversity of actors (e.g. alternative employers), as opposed to one where MAGA Patriotic Duty Monitor #45215 observes wrong-think and puts a thumbs-down on my DOGE Permanent File and now everybody has to shun me (on pain of CECOT) and nobody is permitted to even tell me why.
