UK vs Intellectualism

Looking more into what was actually blocked behind the great firewall of UK censorship, what must be noted in particular is "esoteric material."

Considering "esoteric material" could technically be defined as anything involving thought differentiating from normative material, this opens an entire gateway into thought policing. Anything deemed "esoteric" from a lack of cultural understanding is grounds for censorship under this law.

Someone might find certain philosophies esoteric. Under this, any philosophy deemed esoteric would be blocked. Gnosticism, for instance, falls under some definitions of esoteric material. Atheism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, etc etc could all be construed as esoteric material depending on who is doing the defining.

The rooshVforum almost certainly falls under esoteric material in regards to the average blue-piller's line of thought with regards to women.

This is a prime example of the dangers of moral relativism. This law was supported by individuals who wanted to ban online pornography in an attempt to legislate perceived morality. They have failed to consider the implications of allowing a system to censor anything they deem "against cultural norm" because they are blinded by infallible narcissism.

When different moral relativists come into positions of governmental authority (as is almost guaranteed,) these people are in for a rude awakening. Allowing governmental thought policing can only have negative implications on better educating a society, and this spectacular failure on the part of the UK will serve as a warning to the rest of the western world- speak up now, or fight for your freedom later.

RE: UK vs Intellectualism
It's just depressing. How can people live in such a warped world, that censorship is promoting free speech? Where is their dignity?

Just another example of feminized politics ruining civilization in the name of female superiority. Er, equality.

Right.

I'm starting to see some critique of modern feminism in the mainstream media, at least. There's some hope that we don't fully succumb to its tyranny, if enough individuals speak out against it.
