Go back and watch evening news magazines like 20/20 and A Current Affair that were filmed in the early 90s. Both The Glitterati and the public at large were still very much convinced that satanic cults were lurking around every corner. '95-'96 was the year we finally lost interest in this particular moral panic, and would soon move onto sweating the tidal wave of teen superpredators that James Fox and some more folks in the humanities department(The same demographic that concocted the notion of repressed memory theory, helped fuel Satanic Panic) astutely foresaw coming
The origins of SP can arguably be traced back to the late 1960s, when movies like Rosemary’s Baby jettisoned Satanism from a niche hobby and into mainstream attention. But yeah… It definitely was at it’s strongest during The 80s
"This incident has resulted in over 60 deaths and 160 injuries, some of which are critical”
The rest are of them very mild… Don’t spend more than a minute sweating one of the most formidable war machines on Earth obstructing you and family’s access to rudimentary first aid. Just throw a kerchief around that hemorrhaging stump where your 3 year old’s left leg used to be, and enjoy the lovely Mediterranean spring weather
That’s what happens when we support “good censorship”, all the while desperately clinging to the delusion that things we agree with or would like to hear won’t also be silenced
Reference how censorius YouTube has become in regards to content creators here in The US. We won’t be effective champions for free expression abroad, if we aren’t doing so for ourselves here in The US
Yeah, they’re role is ostensibly in preventing most forms of censorship, and championing the notion that the way to curb shitty speech is with more speech. NOT by silencing things which run contrary to our sacred cows and favorite icons
In The US, The Constitution explicitly entrusts the government to uphold our civil liberties, free speech included. THAT’S why it’s incumbent upon us citizens to hold our civic leaders accountable for doing so
Just to be clear, this was an elderly Palestinian man cowering under a bed who came out with his hands up and was murdered by an Israeli soldier who brags about it after.
