>>14575191>It's called social norms...which were cooked up in and by your government to destroy any sort of authentic culture and cohesion and to make everyone dependent on the state. Yeah, your "social norms" are just the result of government propaganda and are protected by brutal laws. The people never had a say in this, because if they did clown shit would never even become a thing. You are literally programmed to obey and you're obeying your programming. There isn't even an authentic (you) to speak of since you can only adhere to the Approved Opinions that the state is telling you to have.
So again - the USA is a leftist totalitarian state that has manufactured consent through its propaganda. You just did it better than the Soviets, that's all. But behind the glossy facade you are exactly like them or the DDR, from "canceling" to destroying people for not agreeing with the state. Your freedom is a lie and only applies to meaningless things that change or do nothing to actually challenge or change the system, because if they did you'd be deplatformed, canceled, imprisoned or lose your livelihood. That's totalitarianism. Also, censorship is where the US excels at since you control the Internet and the media.
