Okay no Lefty programming. I can just see the forest through the trees.
I’m not saying anybody should cast aside their freedom of speech. But there’s a difference between the notion of freedom of speech, and the First Amendment. One prevents the government from going after you, the other is just a social contract that can be taken at the whims of some random asshole who wants to deplatform us.
What I’m saying is that we not give them any more room to do that.
Yes, I realize that kinda plays into their hands, but we’re on the back foot right now,
And we can be factually correct all day, but we’ll be typing to a 404 page because we have no forum left.
I don’t want to censor anyone, but I do want these grown ass men to realize that you have to play their game to some extent. This is Big Picture stuff.
yes it is a tricky balance. but my problem is we have got to this place backed into a corner of the internet due to tolerating censorship that always gets redefined until you get to a point where you cant say men cannot get pregnant etc.
I do agree. I guess I haven’t made it clear that I was thinking this is a temporary thing. That we need to basically eat shit and smile about it for the next few days, possibly weeks til it’s not necessary anymore.
We either win, or the country is done, and censorship will be the least of our concerns.
My concern is losing this place at a time where it’s vital for us to be able to communicate. If we can try and maintain a low profile, then whatever happens after this is done is just how it rolls.
