This was absolutely fascinating. I have never even considered many of the topics you covered in this post. A brilliant and timely post as the tendrils of censorship seem to be lengthening daily.
Great Quote to open an excellent article. Minor sp. point: atonement [with the first "e"]. I had to search for the quote, I think it comes from Endless Legend, the Amplitude Studios / Iceberg Interactive fantasy-strategy game. "They are weak. They are soft. They writhe in supposed discomfort at minor penances that the faithful would not even notice. Their sloth will be their undoing; without the pain, they cannot touch the power. Use your eyes! Or I will remove them in atonement. See that Auriga herself writhes in anguish -- as we all should. Join me in contrition and mortification such as Auriga has never seen. Together we will embrace the agony, and make it our servant."

People are too busy losing their minds on fancy autocomplete to pay attention to the other things
