    Haha!

    Agreed. Though I get the frustration from people being downvoted as a form of censorship of their ideas,that sucks a giant ball sac, seen wayyy too much of that in the digital realm these past couple years.

    Though I check in here quite a bit, let me know if you post, don't want to miss the return of the legend that is @nonameslefttouse ! :0)

      What's equally frustrating is the rift those outspoken against downvotes on this platform enforce. You're either with them and chant the same slogans or they hate you... LOL

      That makes it difficult to come together and actually solve the problems. That attitude is the main reason it's gone on so long and seemingly applied to everything. No middle ground to enjoy. Putting up walls like that is a form of self-censorship but for those inside it's hard to see it along with the damage it creates for themselves.

      Do you find it odd those claiming to be censored are actually quite loud? If there are only two positions to take on covid for instance, why is the one saying it's censored so much louder than the 'other team'. If they are anti-covid and anti-vax, where is the pro-covid and pro-vax side and their content on this platform? Virtually nowhere.

      So that's the kind of stuff you get to see when exploring beyond the walls as an observer of all things. And based on my experience, this middle ground place by far is the most lonely and heavily censored. That position is virtually nonexistent due to the polarizing nature of this business of politics in media, and that's by design. The real, true, 'conspiracy' happening on this planet in my mind is, by design, the loud group claiming to be censored and shouting anyone who doesn't think the same way out of room is slowly but surely marching itself into a segregated mental/social virtual concentration camp. Once they're all in there the big hairy monster they fear the most can simply flip off the switch or light the match.

        Now that you mention it, I haven't noticed pro covid measure posts here. I was referring to the censorship on all of the mainstream social media places, where yeah, there's a ton of 'wear your mask, and trust the science and get your shot', while posts of people talking about a personal bad experience with anything above are being removed. Especially medical staff- for example I have a cousin (RN) who recently wrote that almost all of the current covid patients at her hospital are fully vaccinated,and there are many people in there with shot related issues...not only was the post taken down, she was booted for a couple days.

        But I absolutely agree that it's by design.
        Division and confusion are big parts of the media agenda. I know people who refuse to visit with "unvaxed" family and friends, and I also know people who are the other way around. For the most part those people label themselves things like conservative or liberal, but there's also anarchists, progressives, voluntaryists, democratic socialists blah blah etc.

        I don't believe in any of it. To me it's all bullshit, all the way around. Constructs that form boxes around people so they can no longer see another point of view.

        And it's ludicrous at this point, one side saying I'M AWAKE" the other side saying "I'M WOKE", both not realizing that they're using buzz words that have been fed to them, both serving a purpose that is not their own.

        I've been lucky with my friends and family, we all have always just agreed to disagree when it comes to anything political or religious, and that hasn't changed. We all still get together and love each other's company.

        Mostly I'm just hanging out in the audience of the play these days.

        It is, equally divided. Does not matter if one is healthy or got sick, from the sickness, or the medicine; it has nearly infected ALL minds, causing damage.

        People need to look at that and acknowledge it. For the first time in my life I find myself in a situation where I do not feel comfortable talking about something, because the moment you do the virus tries to get in your brain, from both ears.

        So I bought a good set of headphones... lol Gotta cover all them holes ammirite!
