We know why they have suddenly started censoring Ilbe. It is because of the Internet Community Censorship Act, which goes into effect on July 7th. They are insisting that this law is justified precisely because such "bad things" are happening.

They crack down on the Baejae High School baseball team and attack idol groups. Remember well the faces of those who use human beings as tools just to push through a single law. These are the people who profit from silencing others.

Those who pollute language while calling for "linguistic purification"

Goebbels claimed that media and art were being polluted by communists and Jews, corrupting the German spirit.

“Media and art must be a mirror reflecting the soul of the people. The modern art and critical press that have dominated our society are a plague of Bolshevism. They are poisons intended to rot the morality of the German people and collapse the state from within.” - Goebbels, radio speech in 1934

He also claimed that Bolshevism had polluted language.

“Over the past few decades, our noble language has been soiled by the crude terminology of street-level political agitators and Bolsheviks. A writing style reveals the character of the human being. The distorted and ruined sentences they write prove how depraved their souls are. We must restore the purity of the German language.”

The laws passed by demonizing others through such claims were the Reich Chamber of Culture Law and the Editors Law. All arts and media professionals were required to join the Reich Chamber of Culture. Those who refused were permanently banned from working. Newspapers and magazines were prohibited from publishing articles that weakened the public will or tarnished the honor of Germany. Anyone harming the public interest was immediately expelled.

Goebbels decried the "pollution" of language and called for "linguistic purification," but wasn't it Goebbels and the Nazis who polluted the German language more severely than anyone else?

Those who spread hatred while claiming to prevent it

Goebbels flipped the negative connotation of "fanatic (fanatisch)" to turn it into a compliment of "pure loyalty to the state." In the German media, the terms "fanatical belief" and "fanatical will" appeared every day. It reminds one of the groups that twisted the meaning of "Gae-tal" (fanatical supporters) to force blind obedience.

Goebbels also twisted the meaning of "cleansing (Säuberung)." He polluted the concept of racial extermination by framing it as essential for hygiene. When purging Jews from the arts and culture sectors, he used the term "cultural cleansing." This is linguistic pollution that erases the consciousness of crime and clears one's conscience.

Right now, the Democratic Party and the PDs of Gyeongnam MBC are calling for the "eradication of Ilbe." They are demanding that "hate speech" not be used.

However, Ilbe is nowhere to be seen. In the spots they are attacking, there is no Ilbe, only young people just beginning to bloom. They have not hated anyone. Yet, they cry for the eradication of hate even when there is no target. This is no different from Goebbels' linguistic pollution. In the absence of Ilbe, my words will be the ones censored. While they freely spew hate speech themselves, they will gag others.

Tomorrow, when July 7, 2026, arrives, only the privileged will be allowed to speak, and those who do not bow to them will be labeled as users of hate speech and silenced. Who exactly were the ones mocking Roh Moo-hyun?
