The video clip of the song Rock'n'roll attitude<\/em>, by Johnny Hallyday, has now been flagged on YouTube as \u00ablikely to shock certain audiences\u00bb. The reason for this is the three or four tits that can be seen. This says a lot about the puritanism that is currently rampant, along with all-powerful pornography. It's really two sides of the same hypocritical coin. And a way for the GAFAs (Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon) to control our lives, even if it means putting our pleasures and freedoms on the back burner - and anesthetizing our desires. Analysis.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Ah, sexual liberation! We thought that the end of the old, patriarchal, puritanical world would give way to a brighter tomorrow, where desires would be satisfied and sexual frustration would be a thing of the past... The big joke! This was without taking into account that the ideology of the end of frontiers and the end of barriers characteristic of the activist left of May 68 would lead to a loss of landmarks. Withdrawn into himself, the individual heir to this great shift would soon no longer know to whom or what to attach himself. Nation, tradition, literature and even family were no longer available. What was left to justify his causes and actions? Communities. And so it was that various reflexes of the new left gradually took hold, taking the name of communitarianism, neo-feminism or anti-racist indigenism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem, or rather the irony of history, is that wiping the slate clean can often lead to the very excesses we were trying to combat. Communism was an example of this. Before it, the French Revolution had led to the Terror. One Manichaeism can give way to another, however laudable the intentions of the instigators of the new world may seem. History is full of such examples. Our own era is no exception. Just look at the direction anti-racism has taken in recent months: brandished as a banner of identity, race is back in the spotlight. Just as universalism was inviting us to stop seeing individuals in terms of their origins, but rather in terms of the humanity they share, indigenism is calling on \u00abblacks\u00bb to assert themselves as such - and as victims of a system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The same analysis can be made of neo-feminism, which feeds on \u00abreflections on gender\u00bb and theories aimed at putting an end to the \u00abmacho culture\u00bb of our societies. Let's be clear: it's obvious that women shouldn't be discriminated against, since every human being has equal rights. But this is not how fashionable movements deal with the issue. It's all about thinking like sociologists, whatever the subject and whatever the level of discussion: there are only \u00absocial groups\u00bb - in short, communities. Add good old Marxist dialectics to this reductive picture, and the battleground is ready: \u00abrape culture\u00bb oppresses women just as the \u00abbourgeoisie\u00bb oppressed the proletariat. So much for the complexity of the human race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new puritanism<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It's hardly surprising, then, that the sexual liberation movement, which sought to strike a fatal blow against the excessive puritanism of the old society, gave birth to a new puritanism. By dint of seeing sexism everywhere and tracking down the slightest sexual representation of women, we end up with aberrations that can only be described as puritanical censorship. The idea that we need to protect certain audiences who might be shocked - young people, religious believers, and so on - is just a by-product. This episode reported today by a friend is a good example: the video clip for the song Rock'n'roll attitude<\/em> is no longer available on YouTube. Click on the link to the video<\/a>, the Google-owned platform states: \u00abThe YouTube community has deemed the following content inappropriate or offensive for certain audiences.\u00bb At issue: bare breasts appearing for a few seconds in the clip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It's all there: the YouTube \u00abcommunity\u00bb deemed the content \u00abinappropriate\u00bb for \u00abcertain audiences\u00bb - by which we mean the community of d'jeun's<\/em>, and who knows what others. Seeing bare breasts would therefore be shocking for younger generations. In the past, even as recently as fifteen years ago, it was up to education - mainly parental education - to ensure that children's discovery of sexuality was gradual. Of course, children have always known a little more than they're willing to admit to their parents - that's part of life. What's funny is that we've reached a society where a simple click gives a kid of any age access to pornography of all kinds, including hardcore<\/em>, GAFA's response is to censor any teat that shows up on their platforms. This is tantamount to responding to debauchery by creating frustration!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Of course, other instances of this kind of nonsense abound. Jean-Paul Brighelli, of Causeur.fr, notes that periods of pandemic would be particularly conducive to this<\/a>. Here are a few cases worth noting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's striking, though, that alongside the ongoing contagion (which isn't the abomination we hear so much about in the media, but that's another story), in a country as liberated as ours, some very strange initiatives bear witness to a puritanical narrow-mindedness. A plunging neckline in a supermarket? A security guard, outraged in his belief in the virtue of women, tells off the young woman who wanted to do her shopping<\/a>. Bare breasts on a beach? Gendarmes ticketed the lady, even though she had committed no offence. We learned that a number of communes had passed municipal by-laws banning these obscene displays - which have to be obscene.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Who benefits from crime?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

But let's go a step further. Is it really a question of sparing our dear little blonde heads from those breasts that we can't see - but now know how to hide? I'm not so sure that the ideology of the moment is solely responsible for these maneuvers by the big multinationals. If you visit Youtube without a Google account, not only do you have to click on \u00abI understand and wish to continue\u00bb if you want to view this clip, but you also have to create a Google account and enter your age in your personal details! Of course, it's easy as pie to cheat in the delivery of this information. Google's direct interest here is simply to attract more subscribers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So it's not anti-Americanism to note that this hypocritical puritanism has its origins in the United States. A certain influence from across the Atlantic may well explain this immersion of the public in the private sphere, and this cult of corporations as the alpha and omega of existence. The all-out regulations of the Web giants, like the perhaps too-strict rules of the traditional family sixty years ago, are killing off the very possibility of a \"family\". rock'n'roll attitude<\/em>. For arbitrariness and stiffness, in this case, are not present in the magnificent images of Rock'n'roll attitude<\/em>, This is a great opportunity for these companies to create needs, frustrate them and offer paid services to satisfy them. This is the perfect opportunity for these companies to create needs, frustrate them and offer paid services to satisfy them. Seriously, the situation is becoming worrying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
