Just about half of first few pages of a search for "documentary" are currently fascist propaganda, anti-semitism, and conspiracy bullshit.
I guess it's a losing proposition to hope that the people with that power might not want to actively participate in the distribution of that stuff. But even so, I wanted to mention it.
The original Nazis went hard for copyright, by the way. And running an underground printing press got Sophie Scholl guillotined.. Just in case you wonder, a decade or two down the line, how the people stomping on your face got to that point.

That's really bad, as much as the adverts everywhere, or a country created to be the future democratic society being stormed by protests and long time white supremacy (just what Hitler liked), while nobody seems to know what to do in order to get things right.
That said, I guess we can't really change the world... It's Amazon and Alphabet for us, forever bigger, deeper, more powerful.

It's funny how people run to censorship as the solution to every issue they disagree with. And how they also equate allowing something's existance with promoting the same.
The solution is education, but that is too much work for some people.

Censorship, burning books, demagogy, hypocrisy, tyranny, they all bad. Education, on the other hand, can be good and may bear good fruit. Or not.
Some very educated people screwed others, and in some cases the entire world, on occasion.

Indeed, but how far would they have gotten if they didn't have an uneducated base supporting them?

Hey, censorship helps the sheep and useful idiots to feel better about themselves by taking away opposing opinions (usually facts). How can you not be right when everything else is gone..
Too much to ask someone to look at themselves hard enough and admit they may be wrong.

Ha! Moe and Lza, I see the point. Then we're still in trouble because it sounds impossible to educate the peoples, for generations to come, out of volunteers and donations, all against the lawmakers and big crooks patrons.

We have reached the farce part of Marx's prediction. The best you can do is sit back and laugh. (Or actually take a teaching job)

That's a pretty horrific position for a mod. Racism and bigotry is't something to debate about, its very clear that its awful. Hate Speech is banned in most countries for a reason, as its the limit of freedom of speech. There are soo many hate crimes and murders of non white people etc and it starts with these conspiracy theories and racist bs.

I am not a mod. I am the certified antifa commie of the board. I think racism and all other sorts of systemic oppression (they usually go hand in hand) are horrible and despicable. And / But I find echo chambers with defined and enforced rules of acceptable speech (be it left or right) to be equally abhorrent, not the least because they tend to become facilitators and accelerators of systemic oppression (as indeed is the case with for example chinese communism).
The pirate bay has taken pride in being the flagship of "freedom of speech" for more than a decade. You can't shut us up. And everybody gets to litter their mind. It's not a "safe space" for anybody. The forum has been run by the same ideals since 200? - arguably less lenient than today, but that is an improvement.
If you feel that there is an unbalance in the political spectrum represented by the uploads at TPB you should start uploading some counter propaganda. Nobody will stop you, or take your torrents down, or ban you.
If you feel the same about the forum posts, you should counter it in the same manner: partake in the discussion in order to propagate your own agenda. Nobody will stop you. You might get banned if you get carried away, but you'd have to pass through the void first. But your posts will NEVER be deleted 
I would like to divert your attention to some recent threads about racism in the general discussion forum (they are currently at page 2 and 3 respectively). You will notice that racist people are allowed to blurt their insanity here. And that non racist people react on it and call them out for it. You will also find a lot of political and religious discussion. And a very lenient forum crew. And a generally friendly lump of regulars in spite of their obvious ideological differences.
