"I think statements like this are hysterical and ahistorical."

I find this line of defense interesting. Can you elaborate a little further, because I would want to avoid putting words in your mouth? Are suggesting that the overall volume of censorship is lower so it can be ignored and explained away? I find your perspective somewhat fascinating.

Anyone who thinks there is more censorship today can only believe that by ignoring the vastly greater censorship that has historically existed.
