Daily Stormer The Most Censored Publication in History
Who knows how accurate these numbers are, but I’m sure they’re not too far off.
This is why democracy is so retarded.
A new poll from the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression finds that four in five Americans believe “at least slightly” that words can amount to violence.
Forty-five percent of those surveyed said they agreed “completely” or “mostly” with the statement “words can be violence,” with another 22 percent saying “somewhat.”
Only 20 percent said the statement “does not describe my thoughts at all.”
Those most likely to agree with the statement were women and members of the Democratic Party; those least likely were Republicans, independents, and men.
(Of note, overall almost three-quarters of Republicans and men did “slightly,” “somewhat,” “mostly,” or “completely” agree with the statement.)
These are some other results quoted as part of the poll:
- Only 55 percent said Americans should have the right to “post a parody video mocking a candidate for public office.”
- Just over one-third agreed people “definitely or probably should have the right to use profanity when speaking with elected officials.”
- A mere one-quarter of Americans believe freedom of speech is “secure.”
- Almost two-thirds believe the U.S. is “heading in the WRONG direction” when it comes to being “able to freely express their views.”
From the FIRE poll press release on the poll:
Gen-Zers were also more likely to say that words are violence, with only 12% of 18-24-year-olds rejecting the idea entirely. But seniors aren’t far behind, with 16% of those older than 65 saying it doesn’t describe their thoughts at all. Gen X is the most speech-supportive age group, with 32% of those between the ages of 45 and 52 completely rejecting the idea that words can be violence.

“Equating words with violence trivializes actual physical harm, shuts down conversations, and even encourages real violence by justifying the use of force against offensive speech,” said FIRE President and CEO Greg Lukianoff. “Free speech isn’t violence, it’s the best alternative to violence ever invented.”
The peasants cannot run themselves. They can be convinced of anything. We hope these people can run lawnmowers and read posted signage, but on the whole, you cannot expect much of them.
What is the point of empowering the masses of peasants with universal suffrage other than to allow the elite to manipulate the function of government at levels unheard of in history?
Before voting, at least before universal voting, you had an aristocracy that was invested in the society, and wanted people to do well. I’m sure they liked living well themselves, they liked having money and power. But the impetus for normal corruption was minimal, and there was absolutely no incentive to do bizarre social engineering to the society. Furthermore, the aristocracy was forced to follow the Bible (at least publicly), which means there were limits on what they were even capable of doing to the population.
Most importantly, the aristocracy was where the buck stopped. If something went wrong, everyone knew who to blame. This is still the case in places like China, where Xi Jinping has no one to blame if things go bad.
When the country’s sovereign authority is “the people,” which means “the overwhelming mass of idiotic peasants,” no one is ever responsible for anything.
In China, when they had protests against the coronavirus measures, the people protested and within hours the government convened and the measures were all canceled. When is the last time a democracy changed a policy because people protested?
A democracy is totally corrupt. The people in the government have no investment in the society, they are simply trying to grab whatever wealth they can and then escape. A system this fundamentally corrupt can only ever become a tyranny, because there are people who benefit from abusing the population and they will simply pay the politicians to put through their agenda.
Somehow, we’ve come to associate “democracy” with “freedom,” when the opposite is actually the case. Peasants in feudal Europe had much more freedom than modern Americans. The feudal lord was not coming and checking the length of your swords, he wasn’t requiring you to have a license to go fishing on public land, and he sure as hell wasn’t trying to convince your son to cut his dick off. The lord was not flooding you with foreigners, he was not legalizing violent crime, he was not devaluing your currency, he was not destroying family formation with women’s rights.
All of this tyrannical behavior from the US government is only possible because of the democracy system, and when you see polls showing that the overwhelming majority want to outlaw freedom of speech, you realize just how ridiculous this all is.
