Trump was verifiably dangerous. We have January 6th to prove it.

But viewpoints we don't like? Even asking questions? I mean Lab Leak Theory is a perfect example. If you discussed it at all, you could be demonetized or deplatformed. Hell, I got two hides here from discussing it.

Having that discussion isn't dangerous. Asking questions about the virus's origin isn't a danger to anyone. It's just something people decided was loony conspiracy theory out of their partisan sensibilities, and we can't talk about it! And the corporations went along and brought the hammer down.

That's a big fucking hammer and should be used very sparingly. It's not. It's used far too often. It should worry everyone. It's corrosive to our democracy.

I don't think RWW should've been deplatformed. That's insane to me. And it illustrates my problem with these companies.
