Proving My Point

YouTube decided to demonstrate what my song is about by censoring my video. Of course I went through their appeal process and they still disapproved it, to no surprise. Here was my appeal statement:

“There is no hate speech in this video, nor in the lyrics of the song. The point of the video (and song) is to alert people to the fact that history tends to repeat itself and that there are signs of it happening again. Also that in addition to the ignoring of history, there are efforts to erase history, hence the burning of books as the Nazis did. I stand against the Nazis 100% as well as their discriminatory practices and Fascism. The faces presented in this video were involved on either side of tragic current and historical events which have taken place, and I make no distinction of which side any of them were on. That is for the viewer to decide. I am only prompting people to look.”

So I created a special version just for YouTube.
(It’s funny. Go watch it.)

This song is about the tragedy of ignoring history and allowing it to repeat itself again. The music video shows book burning as practiced by the Nazis, a method of erasing history, which is still in practice today by big tech companies such as YouTube, Meta, Google and others. We still have access to much of our history today enough to learn the signs of a marxist, fascist or totalitarian development. We must educate ourselves and learn from our past.

Lyrics

History repeats itself and we just put it on the shelf with blinders on
The politician’s favorite game always seems to stay the same
With blinders on

Defeat, brainwash, repeat, brainwash, repeat
Defeat, brainwash, repeat, repeat, repeat

We thought the war was over but it only started again
Then when we investigated we found it never ended
(repeat)

Defeat, brainwash, repeat, brainwash, repeat
Defeat, brainwash, repeat, repeat, repeat

History repeats itself and we just put it on the shelf with blinders on
The politician’s favorite game always seems to stay the same
With blinders on

We thought the war was over but it only started again
Then when we investigated we found it never ended
(repeat)
