Fortuitous asymmetry: the censors are shockingly ignorant.

By expanding shorthand terminology an inexpensive cloaking layer can be applied to most efforts, obfuscation that is mostly transparent to other specialist practioners.

The rest of us need to up our game a little bit, terminology-wise.

When was the last time you heard a critic of capitalism on mainstream news?
