6. It would be foolish
to think that our current access to a world wide web is something that the government could not restrict, and severely.

In its current state, however, it continues to be fragmented, and all the weaker for it. Voices in the wilderness, so to speak. There are numerous voices making all kinds of sense, but it is the very nature of the internet as a device for separating us from each other that works against freedom-loving individuals: it is even easier for misinformation to be propagated, and we cannot afford to think that some cunning weasels in government are already exploiting this weakness.

We have not yet seen the fascist extremes that the current administration has made possible, and we should do everything in our power to make sure those do not come to pass.
