Commander Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim (later president of Finland) was born in Finland when it was part of Imperial Russia. Mannerheim spent 30 years as soldier and friend to Tsar Nicholas II, serving in the Russo-Japanese war and WW1. He was even appointed the unique role of Chevalier Guard to the Emperor during his coronation. When revolution struck, Mannerheim and his White Army defended his native Finland from the bolsheviks. Two decades later, he would again fight off the red invaders in the Finnish Winter War and Continuation War. Mannerheim never forgot his friend Nicholas, and always kept his portrait for the remainder of his years. When asked why a Finnish leader has a picture of a Tsar displayed, he would simply answer "He was my Emperor".

H.P. Lovecraft's Contempt Towards Americans Disrespecting Their English Heritage Favoring Foreigners and their Country's Interest

"The greatest foe to rational Americanism is that dislike for our parent nation which holds sway amongst the ignorant and bigoted, and which is kept alive largely by certain elements of the population who seem to consider the sentiments of Southern and Western Ireland more important than those of the United States. In spite of the plain fact that a separate Ireland would weaken civilisation and menace the world’s peace by introducing a hostile and undependable wedge betwixt the two major parts of Saxondom, these irresponsible elements continue to encourage rebellion in the Green Isle; and in so doing tend to place this nation in a distressingly anomalous position as an abettor of crime and sedition against the Mother Land..."– H.P. Lovecraft, Americanism (July 1919)

The Motion Picture Production Code was a set of industry guidelines for the self-censorship of content that was applied to most motion pictures released by major studios in the United States from 1934 to 1968. It is also popularly known as the Hays Code, after Will H. Hays, president of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America (MPPDA) from 1922 to 1945.
In the 1920s, Hollywood was rocked by a number of notorious scandals, such as the murder of William Desmond Taylor and the alleged rape of Virginia Rappe by popular movie star Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, which brought widespread condemnation from religious, civic and political organizations. Many felt that the film industry had always been morally questionable, and political pressure was increasing, with legislators in 37 states introducing almost one hundred film censorship bills in 1921.

In 1927, Hays suggested to studio executives that they form a committee to discuss film censorship. Irving G. Thalberg of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Sol Wurtzel of Fox Film Corporation, and E. H. Allen of Paramount Pictures responded by collaborating on a list they called the "Don'ts and Be Carefuls" based on items that were challenged by local censor boards.
The production code enumerated three "General Principles":
1) No picture shall be produced that will lower the moral standards of those who see it. Hence the sympathy of the audience should never be thrown to the side of crime, wrongdoing, evil or sin.
2) Correct standards of life, subject only to the requirements of drama and entertainment, shall be presented.
3) Law, natural or human, shall not be ridiculed, nor shall sympathy be created for its violation.
In 1915, the Supreme Court had decided unanimously in Mutual Film Corporation v. Industrial Commission of Ohio that free speech did not extend to motion pictures.

Mutual Film Corporation v. Industrial Commission of Ohio, 236 U.S. 230 (1915), was a landmark decision of the US Supreme Court ruling by a 9–0 vote that the free speech protection of the Ohio Constitution, which was substantially similar to the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, did not extend to motion pictures.
Justice McKenna, writing for the Court stated:
"... the exhibition of moving pictures is a business, pure and simple, originated and conducted for profit ... not to be regarded, nor intended to be regarded by the Ohio Constitution, we think, as part of the press of the country, or as organs of public opinion."
The Court described movies in some technical detail and noted their popularity but wrote that as "they may be used for evil, ... We cannot regard [the censorship of movies] as beyond the power of government."

Joseph Burstyn, Inc. v. Wilson, 343 U.S. 495 (1952), also referred to as the Miracle Decision, was a landmark decision by the United States Supreme Court that largely marked the decline of motion picture censorship in the United States.
Joseph Burstyn was Polish Jewish immigrant film distributor. However the state of New York rescinded the license to exhibit the short film "The Miracle", originally made as a segment of the Italian film L'Amore.

Not everyone are capable of understanding complex ideas. They focus on immediate needs and aren’t wired for deeper engagement.
You can’t turn ordinary people into revolutionaries. They might vote or react when things get tough, but trying to persuade them is pointless. Fortunately, you don’t need many to create change—people follow whoever seems strong and in control.
Focus on making yourself appear that way and they will follow naturally. You can’t convince everyone, and you don’t need to either.
