As I said in my previous post, we live in a culture that promotes stupidity and artificiality. In this culture, that culture that's sole purpose is to keep power concentrated into the hands of the rulers, it must find ways to silence dissidents.
Bradley Manning was put into solitary confinement without trial, widely accepted to be a form of torture and against democratic values that the United States bill of rights upholds. Edward Snowden also faces the same destiny, an unfair trial where he cannot argue his case, he's forced to live in exile. Julian Assange, who is still locked up in the Ecuador embassy in London in the UK. These overt violations of human rights largely go unnoticed by the population, the mainstream media uses a tactic of neutrality, which is to basically avoid being objective and therefore arousing indignation within the population, because that would hinder the will of the elite. You can't have a thinking population capable of critical thinking, it would destroy this system. You need to maintain a social order in order to sustain the capitalist economic system. Then of course you have journalists, those who haven't betrayed journalistic integrity and ethics, those who haven't sold out and promoted the state apparatus. These journalists simply end up on the fringes of society, barely making a living, these people are filtered out. There are mechanisms in place to do this.
Even the liberal media, that being the guardian, the independent, the New York Times and the Washington post can deceive its readers, as it has done. Just look at Iraq in 2003, how many newspapers and media were actually doing their job and investigating the claims, if this had been done the consensus amongst political scientists alike is that we wouldn't have gone into Iraq and would have therefore not killed over a 2 million innocent Iraqis, that being men, women and children.
The journalists that did speak out where squeezed out of the mental framework imposed upon the general population, the mental framework that presupposes a world view/stance that tend to influence people to the point where they just accept it. That's if it's done persistently and incessantly, everywhere they go and look, everything they do, once their very course of life is dependent upon this order, they will come to accept it without hesitation.
Speaking as an intellectual, by that I mean I write a lot, speak a lot, read a lot, think and produce ideas and theories I myself have thought of, etc. If we look at the education system, especially at the private sector of education occupied by religious schooling that receive state subsidies, we find authoritarianism being taught. Textbooks of the nuclear family proclaiming how good it is to be obedient, there's a quote from one: "Yes, darling. It's very good to obey authority."
This is slowly overflowing into public sector, specifically emerging in different forms that have been refined. The ones we see in the Christian schools are crude fascism, but it has to be refined when it comes to widely disseminating it, you can't be as overt. If you look at the philosophers who have proposed the best forms of education you begin to see the authoritarian nature of this system. The way children are pressured and forced to conform to a pre existing standard, a standard that has been decided with them not in mind. You either do what you're told and do your work or you get thrown to the disadvantaged corner. Unfortunately, this tends to be where many of our intellectuals go. They tend to be beaten and persecuted so much by the system that it can break them, a system so brutal and depraved it can destroy a child's curiosity. In the end, these once critical minds are now nothing more than the residuum of society. If you go to study Physics at MIT, you don't find that system, and that's why MIT is acclaimed for producing and hosting many of the famous thinkers, a professor of physics is quoted as saying to a student inquiring about the contents of the course, I paraphrase, "It matters only that you use the skills independently acquired from this course and how you implement them however you see fit." I'm pretty sure I haven't quoted him exactly, but nevertheless it was something like that. People must be left to choose their own methods of education, each person is different and this polarity, this difference, is of crucial importance in creating new ideas.
Okay, now I've gotten that out of the way, I'll address you. My parents, whom I love much, would ignore me and blatantly express disinterest in what I was saying. I was never told "I'm proud you're learning this stuff. That you're Pursuing the path of dissent and in trying to make a difference." This left me feeling down, having already suffered in school from teachers making fun out of me and getting me into trouble by telling the head teacher lies, this turned into a vicious anger towards society.
Everybody I speak to soon cut ties with me, wether because I'm discussing literature or politics they soon become disinterested and I'm able to see their disinterest. It's excruciating to see such an intellectually barren atmosphere.
It begins to plague me, I begin to hate being around people and when people come near me whilst I'm writing or reading I get a feeling of fatigue and anxiety. When I am alone I am a spectacular orator, speaking so articulately and introspectively, but when In the company of others I break down. I can no longer lift up my voice, it pains me to do so, I become immobile and cold.
Now, as I write, I have 0 friends. Everybody I have known has soon disassociated with me. They're consumed by what's on television this Saturday night, they don't enjoy reading and openly profess their dislike for books. These people not only make me dislike them through their obnoxiousness, but also make me feel isolated. This is what the system wants. To marginalise you. To make you feel insignificant, to make you feel powerless. NOT ME! I will fight to the very death to have this system suffer even a minor injury, I will not back down and be compliant! Intellectuals must unite, we must be persistent in our role in the proletariat, we are not a separate class like the rulers would want you to believe, we're from amongst the workers and we must fight in the name of workers emancipation!
Alex jones is a dishonest idiot, fuck that guy. This is science, I'm speaking superstructural ideology. Marxism has not only revolutionised Psychology, played a major role in psychoanalysis, shaped the study of history and provided a genuine alternative to capitalism but has also created entire new sciences. Most notably, the study of historical and In conjunction dialectical development. Nothing you can say will discredit the fact that what I'm saying is true, I've used true examples and have based my reasoning upon solid and flawless reasoning.

And I thought getting banned on forums was a bad thing... 
So..the world can suck and is run by idiots, but does it make much sense to get caught for it? Depending what it is you are fighting for and whom it makes sense to take a peek at the consequences before hand or not? Risk vs Reward and have an escape route planned out and a back up for just in in case....this is obvious. So the rebels REBEL and because they do, they spend their lives locked up for however long and the story is lost....meh
Not worth it and nothing changes...
