Censorship and new slaves. This is not a blog for children…
Meanwhile, opinions everywhere are becoming dangerously polarized, and there is a wave of bigotry and censorship that does not only affect social networks, where the canons by which certain issues (images, topics, thoughts) are allowed or censored have long since been arbitrarily changed.
This behavior is becoming a generalized discourse involving every multinational corporation with interests in the Web.
Very dark times are ahead.
If there is a narrowing of the possibilities of expression, and everything becomes censurable at the unchallengeable judgment of the “censors”, without clear rules about what is allowed and what is not, this inevitably equates to social and cultural regression, and therefore to general barbarism.
Without freedom of expression, and with censorship becoming more and more prevalent under the guise of “protecting the weakest and most vulnerable groups”, there can be no evolution of thought and no change.
There can be no liberation from old taboos and prejudices.
Without freedom of expression, people remain stuck, immobile, in a perpetual status quo, trapped in a mental loop that does not allow them to go beyond where they have stopped.
Is it any surprise that at the forefront of this new cultural dark age is the United States, which until not so many years ago was held up as a paragon of freedom ?
No, of course not.
The same U.S. that “exported” democracy through wars, trying to impose a Western way of life on certain peoples by claiming that these people were not free ?
Can we hope to escape from this prison ?
Not to be surprised, of course, but to be deeply bitter about it.
We too are to blame.
In fact, we are the ones who allowed it to happen and continue to allow it to happen.
By using only digital means, we are only feeding those who have now become our jailers, providing them with the nourishment with which they grow stronger and stronger.
Can we hope to escape from this prison ?
Can we change our habits enough to break out of a system in which we are constantly controlled, censored, directed and conditioned to think (and do) what they want us to think (and do) without being allowed to decide ?
How long will we continue to be trapped without realizing it ?
Because they are the jailers, they are the ones who hold the keys to the locks with which, every day more and more, they chain humanity within the confines of that existence that they themselves have carefully designed in the smallest detail.
A perfect and deadly life.
So that the “new slaves” no longer have any chance of becoming free.
