just ain't the case, this is a thing that happens sometimes at monied levels of capitalist event planning in Imperial Anglophone countries, not in day-to-day life for all the Volk
don't pretend like western governments have this kind of reach and power, it will cause people trapped in their borders to kill themselves
It's not the case...it just happens sometimes? It doesn't count when it does happen because it's capitalism? We have to ignore when it happens because if people realized, they would be too distraught?
I genuinely don't understand what's doing on with this comment.
It isn't the case that stage musicians need to be government approved. It is the case that high-profile acts at high profile shows are being censored. There is a huge difference.
*and thanks for bringing your comment back, it was civil and i was happy to clarify
lol why'd you delete? that was on point. I hit upvote and 'poof' it was gone. :-(
I thought it might be interpreted as mean spirited which wasn't the intention and assumed nobody had seen it yet anyway. I'll bring it back just for you!

ngl, it is, a touch, but, I mean, seriously, "no it's ok because capitalism and don't tell people or they'll kill themselves" lol, um, wut? lol ... there is no other way to respond to that.
I’ll bring it back just for you!

counterpoint: Bob Vylan
Let's be honest, that's true in every country where the government has real power. The moment you're an actual threat to those in power, you'll get shut down.
Right, and that's why talk of authoritarianism is infantile. The question that's actually important is whose interest the government represents.
Of course. The moment a government feels threatened, it will show you 'the violence inherent in the system'.
Which is the desirable outcome if the government represents the working class and exercises violence against attempts at a capitalist counterrevolution.
