Why follow a particular course of action?

Or why try to stop a dictatorship?

[–] hark -2 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

I would get into fierce arguments on the internet to insist that we must vote for the lesser of two evils every election so that we get that dictatorship a little later instead of right now.

Well, first I'd fight off speech censorship. We effectively did that through one man, so in that sense we were very lucky.

Look at England right now. They're ahead of us a few years into censorship because they didn't have the guy we do. People going to prison for social media posts. Wild

"Ahead a few years" on censorship on hate speech, but look to be decades behind on corporate shill nutjobs (though we're ahead a little on bank shills).
