Maybe you would be interested in an expert opinion.  Well here it is.



  I have been to many forums.  What I found is that right now there is more freedom of speech in Russia concerning the Ukraine than has ever existed on any topic at any forum.  (The media is almost as bad)  From what I have found, they all seem to be indirectly run by the government.  It is as Lenin said.  "The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves."  And from the conversations I have managed to have to some degree at those other forums, all the members are just fine with that.  Will things be any different here?  I doubt it.  But feel free to prove me wrong.  Also, Frank Zappa did a song about TV called, "I'm the slime."  In it there is a lyric that I have found to be all too true.  It says, "Don't go for help, no one will heed you."

  This category is supposedly about philosophy.  Most other forums also have a philosophy category.  They are meaningless.  Because without being able to speak the truth, no actual philosophy is possible.  I will show you some memes concerning freedom of speech.  If you follow the cult of lies and fantasy over reality, (and chances are you do) feel free to tell me which one offends you the most.

How do you spot a twat Putin sympathizer?

Putin is a  As for what I had to say about freedom of speech, all you need to do is see what happened to my thread to make my point.  I wonder when the additional memes in my replies will last.

Instead of posting a bunch of memes, why not offer some support for your thesis?

Freedom of speech isn't just for bitching and moaning. You can also use it to make well-structured arguments.

I suspect a troll but am willing to reserve judgement,............. for a bit.

Really how many internet forums have picked you off the street for protesting and arrested you or put radioactive substances in your underwear for objecting to their leadership?

Hello.

The poster has their seeming American entitled 'Freedom of speech' just as I have my sovreign nation's entitlement to ignore them.



Not at work.

I didn't see your post before the content got deleted. Just judging from your thread title, however, I suspect you're on to something important.

Chris Hedges and other unpopular truth tellers often say that the Chinese media censors must be jealous of US media control, since the owners of the corporations obediently parrot the government line without having to be forced. 


I think you'll find that a great many of the opinions on this forum are repeated from the corporate media. That's just about all of what people have to work with. And as always, there are tiny areas of debate allowed, to let us think we're independent. But as always, the strictest control comes from peers, not officialdom. You'll be able to identify the Self-Appointed Conformity Enforcers here pretty quickly.

You can still debate here, if you obey certain rules. Don't expect to be popular, though.

Claiming that this forum is about philosophy while actually posting in a politics forum amuses me quite a bit. Must be a russian troll.

I’m not entirely sure of what I even just read… all I have to say in response is; Slava Ukraini!
