Because drugs are bad mmmkay?

Also, talk about drugs anywhere and you’ll encounter 40-somethings with an unreasonable hatred of drugs. They get crazy. That’s the “just say no” propaganda talking. It was pushed in the schools in the 80s, and we still hear the echoes.

It’s a testament to the power of media and propaganda.

Distributed tagging and voting? The grace of our benevolent moderators? Something else?

I mean, combatting propaganda and censorship is the #1 issue here.

How do we protect ourselves from propagandists and censors? Large, small, popular and individual.

Repeating “they are bad and dumb” ad nauseum is no way to inspire sane conversation. It’s just echo chamber circle jerk.

Well it depends on the definition of censor.

If you define censor as, “to suppress or delete as objectionable” (Webster) then it fits just fine.

Good catch. Yes, messaging is an exception. I am not familiar with those others.
