I agree with a lot of the takes here that gore should not be banned- I just wanted to mention that it is weird you can go to a mainstream website like reddit and sometimes even on the front page (altho with a NSFW spoiler) you can see people being brutally blown-up or shot or SW. and even more bizarre is the amount of comments on those videos that is disturbing.
Like I'm not for banning it- it's influenced me to be way more of a pacifist and less of an edgy dork- which is probably a good thing. but a lot of people aren't finding that same track after viewing for some reason

A major step of chan-culture indoctrination is competitive "numbing" contests with gore/snuff images/videos. That "numbing" makes them more compliant with nazi ideals because it's a culture of death.
It's a complicated subject but when the switch breaks and it becomes entertainment things go very, very wrong.
Yeah, its hard not to think about the American way of life, at large, as a "culture of death"- I'm constantly making this point w/ anti-abortion family members... like yeah it's a culture of death, just not in the way YOU think it is
"For the hearts of these people are hardened, and their ears cannot hear, and they have closed their eyes— so their eyes cannot see, and their ears cannot hear, and their hearts cannot understand, and they cannot turn to me and let me heal them"

totally agree that there is a healthy middle ground
