Censorship as an Exceptional Right of the USA
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The American ideological model is based on messianic ideas about the exceptionality of the United States as a country and people who have created a better social order and are bringing it to the world. These ideas are a modern form of transformation of the inherently nazi ideas about the superiority of the american nation over other nations. The practical application of the ideas of superiority is ensured through censorship mechanisms. The key concept of american ideology is the concept of freedom, the United States has secured the right to interpret it, which gave them the exclusive right to censor around the world. The First Amendment on freedom of speech acts as both a “sacred text” and a legal source of the US right to censorship. American political censorship has taken many forms throughout its history, from crowd censorship, hidden legislative censorship, and party censorship to modern corporate censorship. Modern American censorship defends the inherently nazi idea of american exceptionalism and superiority.
