The "Youtube Purge" is Just Another Example of Book Burnings Updated for the Digital Age:

Book burnings are nothing new. They've just changed formats.

The "Youtube purge" is just a contemporary example of a historically common practice... book burnings... That's really what this is all about. Suppression of free speech is just another way for the establishment narrative to monopolize the thoughts, ideas and information of the common collective.

The coordinated attack against 'Infowars' is the most publicized example at the moment. Now whether or not you like or agree with 'Infowars' doesn't matter. They have a right to say what they want... What matters is that the people (CNN) who push a commonly accepted narrative, are using their clout to shut down an opposition narrative (Infowars) that is becoming increasingly more popular than their own. That scares them. And it should...

But the tactics that they're using to counter that opposition narrative is dangerous to the free exchange of ideas. It holds us back as critical thinkers. And dare I say, keeps us from evolving into a more enlightened species... And here's the thing that the people using these tactics don't seem to understand... When you hide or suppress content expressing ideas that you don't agree with, you're not making those ideas go away. You're only allowing those ideas to gestate in the shadows...

Now I don't know about you, but I prefer to see my opposition in plain sight. I want to be able to recognize the crazies and see how their patterns and thoughts develop. Just a simple idea from the playbook of Sun Tzu that I happen to agree with. And maybe that's another reason why the mainstream media is continuing to lose touch with its audience... They just don't care or understand how to properly utilize tactics when they've had the luxury of being on the upper hand for so long. By "upper hand", I mean having the sole control of disseminating information pre-internet... They haven't bothered to try and catch up. And because of their laziness, they're losing their grip rapidly. But with all that aside, and going back to my main point...

It's important to recognize censorship for what it is. It's just another form of a big, book bonfire. The digital age doesn't change the practice of book burning. It only changes the format in which that practice takes place...
