America is ruled by Mob-think. Tocqueville observed back in the 1830's that Americans had freedom of expression but everyone said the same things. Lately it's become painfully obvious that censorship on the internet has taken a turn for the worse, and comments that are deemed not PC get shut off. Our daily conversations with people have to conform to what the majority is peddling or we meet a wall of silence.

You can't have a serious discussion on say political corruption lasting more than five minutes in America but go abroad and perhaps you can discuss it all night long. In this environment the status quo is always upheld and any opinion to the contrary is considered heresy. To prop up this bankrupt status quo the powers that be keep the nation under control with a cabal of dinosaurs. Forget about reform.

Yes I found this while living in the USA (apart from my friends) most people just agreed with you then walked away. Stepford people!

Have wonderful political discussions here which has literally saved my life.

Americans are probably the most hypocritical people on Earth. The culture promotes it.

Maybe one could call this The Stepford Syndrome?

If censorship is what you desire, then recent events are surely a problem, the Sun and the moon tug upon the earth strongly tonight, and so those chains of would be tyrants are most easily broken, when all people see the truth and become a force unto themselves to block and to STOP those of greed who have sold their souls to agree to a contract of death. No it will become unfounded unfunded and put out to pasture to fight in their no man’s land of darkness but as for those who seek the truth there will always be light.
