CENSORSHIP (regarding the closure of GH Records
Label on Bandcamp)
Censorship exists and has always existed, to a
greater or lesser extent, those who hold power have always controlled what
could be said or could not be said. The methods have been more or less
effective throughout our history, everything has been successfully explored
and exploited, but what was unimaginable just a few decades ago is the
censorship we suffer today.
It all started very soft and silly.
Self-censorship, political correctness, has been sewing our mouths shut and
cornering our opinion without any kind of opposition. The so-called
goodism, the progressive, are nothing more than the indisputable dogmas of
today, because disagreeing with any of its precepts places us in the camp
of the bad, the carcas, the intransigent, the adversaries of goodness. Little by little, all kinds of ideas about an ideal world have been
creeping into our society and thought without being discussed because they
have not been analyzed, ignoring what the human being is, ignoring that the
world is full of societies, cultures and religions. very different how can
you flaunt the indisputable truth? How can one pretend that what one thinks
is good and that whoever disagrees is the worst of demons? Well, not only can
you, also, you can't argue, you can no longer go against it, there will be
someone who interprets a suspicious opinion with interest and integrates it
into a black book of anti-good abominations.
And is this all something controlled by the people
in power? No. All this is the monster resulting from the lack of truthful information with which to create an opinion, and these are its
consequences. Years of “bad education” of data and biased and tendentious
accounts. Years of absolute manipulation. Years of infantilization through
the implementation of absurd ideals that have replaced ideas, of creating
factions, the good and the bad, of simplifying what is complicated by not
allowing opinions, of censoring, keeping quiet, and now canceling what is
not politically correct or, whatever someone wants to interpret as not
correct,
Nothing is respected anymore, if one believes that one possesses the
absolute truth, why not go with everything to someone who does not think
the same? Why not cancel it without measuring the consequences? It doesn't
matter if he loses his business, his prestige doesn't matter, everything
doesn't matter, because he's the bad guy.
The terrible consequences of that absolutism, of
this unique way of thinking, are already being seen as a tsunami that grows
and approaches at great speed, a tsunami of intransigence, a dictatorship
of the people over the people.
That simplifies things, it is not necessary to
submit to someone who not only submits willingly, but is more than willing
to submit to others in any way. Today it will be an opinion, tomorrow a
book or a record, then those works that are considered outside the ideology
will be destroyed (this is already happening, books are being rewritten,
records will be withdrawn from sale on platforms) works of art will be
burned if they offend this goodist creed and the next thing we can already
imagine what it is... If all this is not questioned, why should the
destruction of people be questioned? Aren't they bad if they don't think
alike? All this begins in a very silly, very soft way, and little by little, like
the frog in the cauldron, we will succumb without realizing it and end up
being little more than cattle.
The platforms that delete accounts, the
cancellations on social networks, the accusations, the stupid and
indiscriminate complaints, all of this will turn against everyone, without
exception, no one will librarian no matter how much they think they are on
the right side. When totalitarianism goes out for a walk it leaves no
puppet with a head.
I dedicate these words to all those who believe
that they fight entrenched behind a computer keyboard and denounce
anonymously, that is not a fight, that is an abject and cowardly attack. I
also dedicate these words to all those who guaranteed a social network, but
later censored it, in a vain attempt to convert their clientele into a
single herd. Totalitarianism is not eternal, neither is business.
