>>87015710>>87015757>>87015822"I am anti-censorship" is a canard in the context of 2024 only because most people don't feel like they can say the quiet part out loud.
They aren't anti-censorship per se, what they really are is anti-leftisms; they are antifag, antitroon, antifeminist, antixenos, perhaps even antibureaucrat... you get the idea.
To say that you want the freedom to criticize anything you like coincidentally overlaps to a great proportion with all of these things, since, of course, the officially unofficial ideology of the incumbent ruling class itself propounds all of these things.
This sort of 'classical liberalism' was in the first place a wedge used by the current power structure, back when their organizational predecessors were out of power and looking to usurp the previous incumbents of hegemony, for exactly this same reason; it is a weapon for dissolving rival organization while leaving your own unexamined. It is, in effect, to say 'allow us to coordinate with each other to gain power (over you) unmolested'.
And it goes without saying that once they did gain power, the weapon outlived its usefulness; they made sure not to make the same mistake of affording their enemies the same privileges they themselves benefited from; of allowing use of the same weapons against themselves in turn.
All that being said, Joker 2 is a bad movie.
