Editorial – Psychiatrists noticed that there seemed to be an uptick of people being diagnosed as having Tourette’s.  Some of them started to developing a trend.  Many of these people had been diagnosed as having Tourettes despite the fact that the symptoms they were manifesting don’t actually align with Tourettes.  Rather, as they would eventually allegedly discover, this seemed to be a phenomenon that was taking place through YouTube, where a whole group of youths were developing these sortsof Tourrette’s like symptoms that can be seen in many content creators that cater to this demographic,

It is possible, theoretically, that YouTube has experienced its first viral oubreak of the sociogenic category, that is, socially created patterns of behavior that produce unstabilizing patters to the world around the action.  Somehow, a whole subgroup within this larger demographic has developed a new Tourrette’s like disorder that emerged from the culture the YouTubers had created.

Perhaps Twitter has been feeding a sociogenic virus for a long time, called Woketarianizm, but that’s another story, still, the connection is not unmerited.   Twitter’s culture creators are the moderators and the rules they use to justify their actions, actions that affect people at existential levels given the domination of Twitter in a social media space where a vast swathe of major institutional public discourse takes place.  And if you’re not on Twitter, you’re not talking to America, let alone the world,

That type of influence on the habits of human action is far more profound than what ever could have emerged in this YouTube culture that produced their own sociogenic virus.  The severity and breadth of the sociogenic illnesses these platforms can crearte when in the hands of ideologues, in general, well, I could say it would be frightening but we are in the midst of the fruit of that reality.

Better for the acceptable orthodox media, of which iflscience.com is one, to attack the smaller sociogenic viruses that emerge from the result of wanna-be tyrants to distract from the much larger and more invasive and consequential sociogenic viruses these platforms have been creating.

Psychiatrists Report Mass Outbreak Of Sociogenic Illness Spread Via Social Media Videos

A team of psychiatrists has reported what they’re calling “the first outbreak of a new type of mass sociogenic illness” that is spread by social media alone.

Published in the journal Brain, the team reports that they have seen a “remarkably high number” of young patients who had been referred to their specialist Tourettes clinic in Hannover, all displaying “nearly identical” movements and vocalizations. The patients not only had similar movements but also said a lot of the same words as each other when experiencing a “tic”, regardless of the language they were speaking it in.

Words included “fries”, “bomb”, “flying sharks”, and, most concerningly, “Heil Hitler”.

Another strange aspect to the tics, and not seen usually in Tourette’s patients, was that their vocalizations shifted pitch whenever they had a “vocal tic”, their voice becoming much lower than usual.

Though all the patients had been diagnosed with the childhood-onset chronic combined motor and vocal tic disorder, Tourette’s syndrome, before being referred to the clinic, the team noted that the tics were unusual, and unknown in Tourettes syndrome. However, they had seen the tics before: on the YouTube channel “Gewitter im Kopf” (“Thunderstorm in the Brain”).

The channel, presented by Jan Zimmermann, documents life with Tourettes syndrome.

“Judging from the videos, he indeed suffers from a mild form of Tourette syndrome,” the team write in their paper. “On this YouTube channel, however, he shows a countless number of movements, vocalizations, words, phrases, and bizarre behaviours that he claims are tics, but are clearly functional in nature.”

“For the majority of the shown symptoms, there are obviously strong situational contexts with exclamations of long sentences with insults, swear words, and obscenities that are in this form unknown in Tourette…

Onlyfans came rouring onto the scene the last couple of years with Bella Thorne igniting the fire when she made over $1 million in less than 24 hours on the app by offering nudes of herself to paying fans, called paypiggies in the industry vernacular.

Not to be outdone, the Cash Me Ouside Girl also made a million dollars offering nudes to paypiggies.  Before that, and after that on a much larger scale, if you are a woman and reasonably attractive (or imagine that you are), dreams of OnlyFans gold was sure to enter your mind.  At least it seemed that way.

The app set off a whole new cottage industry that threatened conventional sources of sex stuff like pornhub and others.  It created an outlet for people (mostly women, though not exclusively) to exploit themselves rather than being exploited by others.  Now, a woman could offer her nude services to a discrete clientel online and get ALL of the profit (well, sans the bit the app itself claimed) instead of only a small payment that allowed the producers to make far more money from her nude and sex services than ever she could.

The banks have declared that having a small monpopoly on the financial markets is hardly a danger to people at all, as of course they will use their considerably state-protected monopolistic advantage fairly and equally to all who simply obey the law.  That, my friends, was a lie, and one that OnlyFans is exposing, though it’s not the first such proof that banks have decided to use their considerable state-protected financial industry monopoly to punish people who behave immorally according to  their particular unaccountable standards of morality.

So the banks have decided that women, and even men, yes, men too, having  the capacity to sexually exploit themselves and getting almost all the profit from that exploitation is just outside of their allowable moral standards.  So they shook down OnlyFans and gave them an offer they couldn’t refuse.  If they didn’t evnd the nude sex stuff, their ability to exist as a company would be over, as the cabal of banking would freeze them out of being able to process payments.

This is not at all a moral defense of sexually exploiting yourself for money, but it is a defense of a pluralistic society having the capacity to act on their preferences without being coercively manipulated by monopolistic corporations.  First they came for the self-sex-exploiters, then they came for me, if you get my drift (though they came for a WHOLE LOT of people before they ever got around to shutting down the self-sex-exploiters).

After OnlyFans received the offer they could not refuse, they announced that the nude sex stuff’s gots ta go.  As could be predicted, what followed next was nothing but outrage and scorn at OnlyFans, a company that now totters on the edge of existence itself, having ridden the great wave of viral for the past year.  The CEO of OnlyFans quickly came out and spilled the beans on the offer that could not be written, the offer that came from the cabal of banks that decided this was just not morally acceptable, and their capacity to destroy us economically is all the justification they need to use that state-protected monpolistic advantage to force their morality on the rest of us.

Is it legal for the banks to do this in the alleged land of the Bill of Rights?  Possibly so.  This is why some have suggested creating a market bill of rights to reign in the out-of-control power of the monopolies that have almost all demonstrated a willingness to use their state-protected monppolistic advantage to deny basic rights that not even the government can deny.  Whether the govenrment approves of it or not, this is de facto facsism, where the state uses market power to violate our rights legally because it’s not, at present, illegal for companies to do so.

If we are to be a people ever again, we must have an identity that does not destroy the multiplicities of identities our diverse lands possess.  That identity is the Bill of Rights.  And if we are to fulfill the promise that such standards offer, it is time to extend these rights to the marketplace as well as the government square, else fascism will continue to reign in this land and the Bill of Rights will continue to die until we all look around and realize this diversity has no unity anymore, and then, well, nations such as that implode or are taken over by stronger nations.

The OnlyFans censorship by our banking institutions should be the final wakeup call for us all, the proverbial canary in the coal mine that just let you know there’s poison in the air, something must be done.

OnlyFans founder blames ‘unfair’ banks for ban on explicit sexual content

Banks are to blame for OnlyFans’ ban on sexually explicit content, according to the online subscription service’s founder.

The platform, which is popular among sex workers, recently announced new rules coming into effect in October that prohibit “any content containing sexually explicit conduct”, though non-sexual nudity will still be permitted.

Initially the London-based company said the move was being introduced due to pressure from financial partners, leading some to assume payment processors Mastercard and Visa were behind it.

However, chief executive Tim Stokely has revealed it was “unfair” banks who prompted the change over concerns about “reputational risk”.

He named three banks – the UK’s Metro Bank, JPMorgan Chase and Bank of New York Mellon.

“The change in policy, we had no choice — the short answer is banks,” he told the Financial Times.

“We pay over one million creators over 300 million dollars every month, and making sure that these…
