Last statement on this subject:
I will just hold it that I do not agree with all of you and see it as violent. That you do not see as such scares the living crap out of me. Your idea of mute is to downvote, not ignoring a commentator, someone else's idea is just more physical, but ideologically similar.
- icebraining 12y agoI think I know what you mean. Your comments remind me if an excerpt from a Situationist work, The Revolution of Everyday Life (by Raoul Vaneigem): "an obscene hobbling rhythm. In the ebb and flow of the crowds sucked in and crushed together by the coming and going of suburban trains, and coughed out into streets, offices, factories, there is nothing but timid retreats, brutal attacks, smirking faces and scratches delivered for no apparent reason. Soured by unwanted encounters, wine turns to vinegar in the mouth. Innocent and good-natured crowds? What a laugh! Look how they bristle up, threaten on every side, clumsy and embarrassed in the enemy's territory, far, very far from themselves. Lacking knives, they learn to use their elbows and their eyes." http://library.nothingness.org/articles/SI/en/pub_contents/5 http://library.nothingness.org/articles/SI/en/pub_contents/5

- etherael 12y agoYou might have a point if you apply those arguments to actual censorship rather than expressed disagreement or disinterest. Even there though, to say that censorship should be seen as violence obscures more than illuminates.
