really ?
plenty pf people and bots echo current mob mantras, perhaps. Self censorship is now common because of the noise of some who make a virtue of intolerance and censorship. Got to the point that the old "dont discuss religion and politics" maxim has become default behavior aside from the marxist farms in education. That is a problem during elections such as the one in Oz where common response to any political advertising is to hit mute or change channel. Interesting to me is the number of people who in passing conversation state they have stopped watching any TV.
