The slippery slope of censorship.

However I am anti-abortion. I used to be pro abortion, I was a hardcore liberal just a few years ago, before covid (still not a Trump supporter, just rabidly apolitical now). And considering what the federal government has been doing censoring the right via tech platforms when it goes against their narratives.. aw shucks I can't get behind censorship.

Sorry Texas.

You can't be "rabidly apolitical" and be anti-abortion and claim the government has been "censoring the right via tech platforms when it goes against their narratives," both of which are explicitly right-wing political positions.

Censorship is inevitable to maintaining the power structure, the question is who controls the censorship and whether the approach taken to censorship makes the people strong or weak.

No I don't agree that censorship is inevitable. You are gonna need to back that argument up, nico.

Sounds like you have drunk deeply of some authoritarian rhetoric

Not saying censorship is bad or good I’m just saying it’s inevitable.
