Anti You

The mainstream media is most definitely anti-you if you don't think the same way. Almost all media is left leaning. That's not inherently terrible, but it's terrible that the ones who think differently become the enemy. Read about how Candice Owens is handled in their coverage and the bias is aggressively negative. Read about Kanye West, Ben Shapiro and Mike Cernovich. Read about the supposed dark web (like it's a nefarious realm inhabited by demons). Mainstream media is going the way of the dinosaur, and that's a natural thing. We evolve, and business models change. Now, YouTube has become an enemy of the free-marketplace of ideas. No longer is Stephen Crowder able to monetize his videos. The state and corporate conglomerates have banded together in order to push any dissenting voice out of the conversation. Eliminating competition never helps! It's a sucker's game. All the best things created never came from the public sector; innovation comes from the private sector. Look at Levi's jeans, muscle cars and penicillin; these things were birthed by individuals in the private sector.

Ideas need to be in constant competition in order to be tested. I think differently, but I'm no different than any other person. Many people think like me, but we don't get to see the same representation. This isn't because our ideas don't have merit. The state has grown top heavy, and now it's become an ever reaching spider's web. We must fight back demonetization or create actual platforms that support free speech. I have my little blog, and I post my content on Instagram. This is how I, as an artist, convey my message. Print media is dead, and zines went with it.

Now, we have the wild west all over again, but the same powers that inspired a free country seem to want to stifle the freedom. Jack Phillips was sued for not baking a "gay cake." Apparently, the notion of compelled speech just slipped everyone's mind. Religious freedom also seemed to just vanish. This was turned into a civil rights matter, but it was really all about bullying. It was also about aggressively harming someone's livelihood, because they dissented from the mob. Jack Phillips is facing a third lawsuit, but the mainstream media will cover it as it did the first two times. We'll forget about compelled speech and religious freedom. We'll insist that this man be broken and made to be as they see fit. If they could hack into his brain and change his thoughts I believe they would.

I don't want to control or force anybody to think as I do. My job, as an artist and human, is to persuade. My style is snarky, aggressive and rude. That's just my aesthetic. If you don't like it then you can look at all of the lame cartoons on Vice. There are plenty to pick from. I am not anti-you. I am for you even when you don't like what I do. I offer it generously, and wouldn't want to silence any lame cartoonist from the New Yorker. You won't get better content by stifling the research and development so to speak. Also, you won't get heartfelt art when you are compelled to do it by the state. I wouldn't want my cake decorated by a raging leftist totalitarian, so maybe back off the Christian guy who just wants to run his little shop.
