In response to the Berlin opera story, a reader e-mails:

Hey Evan,

Isn’t it amazing how there is a global organized entity that is actually successful in dictating conversation to the rest of the world? Has that ever happened before? Seriously, when was the last time a single movement censored the rest of the world? The Nazis were not successful censoring the world, neither was the Soviet Union.

I find it astonishing that the entire world is currently censored by one entity. It’s like The Mob took over the world.
