I feel like this is a subject I can’t really get away with talking about in real life. But something I find to be annoying about the culture in America is this idea of absolute freedom of expression. For example, porn is counted as freedom of expression, so it’s legal and it can’t be made illegal because the Supreme Court, some group of unelected judges that serve for life decided it because of corporate interests in selling pornography. Except, prostitution isn’t protected by freedom of expression so the people democratically decided to make it illegal in every single state except one state. But why would corporations have an interest in making porn legal? To control the people. But they’ve manipulated the public consensus through forcing it on the population to change the narrative that porn is free speech and banning speech is dangerous, except porn obviously is not speech because it communicates nothing. So it can’t be protected by free speech if it isn’t even speech in the first place. I don’t associate it with freedom. I mean think about this: porn is legal in Russia, Russia is an authoritarian oligarchy. When the rich rule, and they take away democracy, they need to give you your bread and circus so the people won’t revolt against the rich. It’s a form of enslaving people in my view. There’s more to it than that, but there’s no point in saying more than needs to be said.

The whole idea that hedonism is freedom is an insult to freedom. Freedom is when no one controls you. When you’re a slave to your desires, which is what hedonism is, you are someone’s slave. They’d rather have hedonistic self entitled escapism than have a revolution.
