Reply to comment by SneezingRickshaw in Why Film Festivals Are Steering Clear of Controversial Movies by BobRobot77

Well yes and no. It’s not the anti-communism movement I realize but I feel like it’s suppressing artistic freedom. Also, I wore my mask proudly so no need to worry there. You don’t need to categorize people based of a single comment.

Neither of those sentences are related to something I said. You should reread my comment.

What makes the McCarthy era different is not the target. I’m not talking about the target. I’m talking about the severity of the censorship and that State censorship is so much worse than simple public pressure.

And I didn’t call you anti-mask. I’m saying you’re exaggerating what’s happening now (or downplaying what happened then) because you’re comparing it to something incomparably worse. They’re not on the same level, you’re engaging in hyperbole.

But if you have so much trouble understanding such a simple comment, I don’t know how much good my advice on reading more about McCarthy would do, you need to dramatically improve your reading comprehension skills before that. Friendly advice.

Thank you for your kind words of encouragement! I’m hooked on phonics as it is. I appreciate your concern!
