I’m Admitting To Self Censorship And Explaining Why
<center><a href='https://d.tube/#!/v/scottcbusiness/251wf13iyqm'><img src='https://snap1.d.tube/ipfs/QmTmT35bcyNN1ygRKkNFv5s1SEugg9vyaBhogxAffZL7wD'></a></center><hr>

A video inspired me to admit that I've self-censored on many occasions in that I've made videos and not put them out knowing that a portion of the left would give an unhinged reaction regardless of how carefully I share my opinion and tell the truth. 

I am putting this out to explain why I've felt I've had to self-censor and rationalizing some of the views I have on various topics.

This is the video that inspired me to share: https://youtu.be/BXVzPfTaWR4 

I put this out with great hesitation...

These are a handful of the topics I feel I cannot discuss without being attacked for it:
- Racism vs class oppression - https://www.google.com/search?q=defin...
- White/Male privilege and the discrimination towards as well as the omittance of Asian class privilege
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/15/us... 
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/1... 
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2... 
https://images.app.goo.gl/aoB7cbagD1S... 
- Feminist movement going well beyond equality - (opinion)
https://www.theguardian.com/commentis...
https://www.quora.com/What-is-corpora...
- Equity doctrine
- Male struggles, lack of support, and the myth of the patriarchy - https://www.minds.com/scottcbusiness/...

- Alpha and beta male perception - (opinion) - https://medium.com/@rogercorley/moder...
https://thefederalist.com/2018/03/08/... 

Really think about how many mass shootings have been done by an alpha male? The alpha male that is portrayed to exude toxic masculinity or violent male behaviors is never associated with these mass shootings and it’s almost 99% of the time someone who is adequately described as a beta male and fits most of their character traits.

- Toxic masculinity / toxic feminity - (opinion)
- Use of public funds for virtue-signaling - (opinion)
- Pedophilia forgiveness movement https://thelibertarianrepublic.com/fa...
- Sexualization of children 
https://www.ccpa-accp.ca/sexualizatio...
https://www.lavocedinewyork.com/en/pe...
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/the-di...
- Introducing sexual education at an increasingly younger age
- Lack of personal responsibility
- Science denial
And more….

The reason I've shared this is that free speech and free thought matters and is crumbling away as we ignore these pressing issues in society that continue to get worse. I've said my piece, you can destroy me now.

Let me know what you think of all of this in the comments below. This was a great leap of faith!

Being a blogger for the last few years outside his last statement on Trump because anything Trump will be open for debate  hold to much truths outside the fact he's more far left than he realizes.  I've held similar beliefs, even somewhat more honest then himself and haven't found myself come under attack.  Quite a few people on the left think there is more honesty then dishonesty in a lot of his statements, seeking a reasonable balance without inciting anger is what is necessary.  Such as most debates I've been in about the exposure of gender neutral or teaching children about sexual orientation issues in the elementary level most agree children that young shouldn't be exposed, if you want to talk about these issues on the junior high/high school levels most won't give you an argument over.  Most will agree that what's going on between Israeli's and Palestinians is wrong but the majority will not agree that it is anywhere near similar to what other countries military's or armies encounter.  Anyone worth their grain of salt in blogging whose done their research into the middle east that this goes way past being just a dispute over land and that rivalry among the dozens of different tribes/sects is a mindset that ultimately, lets say, that even if Israel moved to a different country, it wouldn't be found to be the underlying issues in the middle east.  That is ingrained in generations of hatred towards one another over what amounts to, even at times minute, differences in religious theologies, and they are more than happy to genocide each other over it.  What more than likely would transpire if such a move happened is that all of a sudden it is no longer a dispute between Israel and the Palestinians it will then be a dispute over who said you had the god given right to that land, it just the bigger issue masks the underlying ones.  If you spend enough time researching it's the hatred among themselves that plays a much bigger picture in any given area of the middle east, for those who have taken the time have come to, as hard as it is to admit, that it takes a brutal dictator to keep them all in line otherwise they'd just genocide each other into extinction.  This is all hidden under the mask of the most infamous case, the Israeli and Palestinian issue.   If this were not true it would be religion as the most valuable commodity in the middle east and not oil as they would all package and sell it making every individual prosperous in that endeavor as if there is one thing in this world that a majority of people hold in a higher esteem it's their beliefs, being able to transform oneself back into an era of biblical times such as how much of the middle east continues to transact to this day would be considered the ultimate experience by millions of people all over the world.   The majority of those millions are not going anywhere near a place they may face being killed over their beliefs.   Consider this, Jerusalem holds three of the worlds most valuable holy sites of the three main branches of religion all within a fifteen minute walk of each other, if they took that packaged and sold it it wouldn't really matter what chunk of land someone got stuck on...they'd be able to afford to build it up to the sky if that meant everyone involved would live a prosperous, happy life.  The answer is so simple yet it's caught up into the complexities of hatred that formed thousands of years ago.  I challenge anyone to go take a look, go outside the realm of the standard media flare, look at the Turks, Kurds, Armenians,  Azerbaijan's, etc., most divide up into even smaller factions, most people don't even realize this....and the fact they all hate one another.  Most think the ME is made up of Shite and Sunni's...what they don't realize is they all break down into smaller sects, including the Shite and Sunni's.  Literally hundreds of them, if people really looked at the true underlying matter of the fact they'd walk away depressed as there really isn't any true answer.  Think about the magnitude of that, what if that transpired in any other countries of the world, it'd be a mess just like the ME.  If Christians bombed Catholics, Baptist killed Seventh Day Adventist, Evangelicals stabbed to death Lutherans...you see the problem?  Not that all hope should be lost but solving the Israeli, Palestinian issue is not going to solve what ails the ME.  Lastly he gets no brownie points for throwing that racist barb at the president, the majority of people in America do not appreciate the ungrateful attitude of the squad.  You do not go to someone's house and lob insults at them, you don't tell them they are not running their house right, if we weren't there'd been no reason for their parents/grandparents/themselves to have come here in the first place, the world is what it is, there's a reason for everything whether we like it or not, the difference is to put yourself in a position to appreciate not tarnish the good things that come your way in life.  The electorate gave them the golden opportunities in life and they have used it to spit in  their faces instead of use that opportunity to make life better for people in their districts and work toward finding solutions on the world stage.  Over the decades Americans have woke to the issues of why this country shouldn't be involved in warmongering, they understand that change should come within a nations own borders but that does not negate the responsibility of keeping the world a safe place overall.

I'm not sure if this is mainly addressing the other creator or me since I never mentioned Israel and Palestine. You did mention the sexual education issues which yeah is really wrong especially since it's such a minor fraction that experiences it and now kids are being confused. I'm glad you've never been targetted for your views though! :)

You video was a bit more complicated as it tended to speak to a specific  proportional aspects of the much over all wider debate of an issue(s).  I do think, before I forget and as someone who was thrown into the battleground as I just had happened to ripen (age wise) into the workforce as the push by feminist to integrate into men's dominated fields, you have overlooked the fact that the objective to diversify the workforce has been achieved, what the push tends to be now is loosening up the reigns of male dominance in the upper echelons of the corporate powers or those positions which still predominately are held by men.  It would be akin to them making it three quarters of the way up the mountain  unable to break through the final barrier.  For those of us who have been left tattered, tarred and bruised from something you so nonchalantly label as starting out as something simple it's no wonder you find yourself coming under attack, then to wisp out that whatever the way you did...![47a6fec56df7fbcb67b564c6925f14d65e096191d962c33ddedc30ffca756319 (1).gif](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTXmP88PgiAWMZFWtZggisTY64Mw61LNiHe3D2M9xusYr/47a6fec56df7fbcb67b564c6925f14d65e096191d962c33ddedc30ffca756319%20(1).gif) it's a wonder they left you still breathing.  It was never simple, believe me.  I guess it could have been a whole lot worse...like being born and coming of age to spend my life only being allowed to be barefoot and pregnant.  I felt as though it sounded as conflating two separate issues.  One being the power struggle women still face trying to make that final round to the mountain top with the push to/for acceptance/adaption of behaviors that no matter how reprehensible they are should be mainstreamed into society, with one way of achieving that is the push for a more kinder, gentler teaching through feminizing men or accepting that it's okay for men to be or show a more feminine side.  Society doesn't allow for weakness, like they say, "only the strong survive", or "survival of fittest", only those with the ability to adapt then continue to surmount  the difficulties will come out standing on top, it won't matter if you are a man or a woman but it will matter if your are a man or woman exerting/expelling your energies doubting your masculinity or femininity.
