A lot of the censorship on social media is aimed at minorities. The reason for this is quite clear, and that is that intellectualism simply was not made for black people, and Europeans have a difficult time accepting when we are good at it. Black people, as well as all races, bring a unique perspective to the table when it comes to social media censorship. The technological revolution has also refined the ability of racists to exclude certain world views from their virtual realities, or should I say fantasy. There is no perfect world; we must always deal with people we dislike, regardless of how reclusive we becomes. However, social media allows one to assume that their opinions are not only ideal, but superior. One is able to surround themselves with exclusively like-minded people, leading to confirmation bias. Though much of the calls for censorship have been a kind of knee-jerk reaction to the rhetoric of Donald Trump, no one has really considered the smaller organizations that can be effected by such censorship. It has become a common trait of the public to forget the smaller organizations that are just trying to make a buck being funny. Is it really productive to slow their participation in the public sphere down? We, as entertainers, do not have much left after the pandemic. Our livelihoods depended on in person shows, and events. Now, who knows when those will return? Shall we add insult to injury by banishing the small youtube and twitter channels that make these platforms unique? Many of us have contributed a great deal to these platforms, and have seen little to know reward in return. Some of us were quite influential in getting out the vote, or in tipping off the authorities when injustices have been done. We may seem like nothing special to you now, but we may have a bit more value than you believe as well. We may not just be unemployed actors. Some of us, many of us, have many special talents. Sure, the prospects for making money on social media may seem dim; there are even people who say that it is a waste of time. However, there are also people who are persistent and see steady growth overtime. Social media works much more like an investment than a source of income, but investing in one's future can be smart. Do I think that anyone can make on a podcast? Probably not, although I don't believe it is as difficult as a lot of creator's make it sound; sometimes I just think these people are discouraging others from joining because they're afraid of losing their audience. However, does a person trained in political science, theatre, communications, philosophy, and production have a shot at making a successful podcast? Sure. Of course it takes a few years, but what else did I have to do all this time? Did you expect me to spend all of my money on Amazon? You can make Jeff Bezos de facto mafia don if you want; I'm just trying to make some people laugh at what joke the righteous censorship quest of anti-social media really is. Why are there more minorities being censored on these social media sites? Is this just another whites only club? Or is it that systemic racism has blinded people so much that they cannot even tell they are being racist anymore? It would be easy to just forgive Europeans for continuing to ignore us, a little too easy, and a little too dishonest. We cannot simply forget the past, and let bygones be bygones. There is so much more to this than what you have "solved" in your mind. You cannot ignore a wound. That cannot be repeated enough. What did we gain by censoring social media into a large transcript of Hollywood's downtime, as opposed to reality? Nothing that I can see. It's interesting to see these tech companies come and go, rise, and plummet. They never seem to catch on to the fact that their customers are making their products for free. And now they want to charge us for it too, even Twitter. That's no way to make friends anti-social media. You won't get many followers like that.
