More than anything, this is becoming a war on free speech, one in which the global commons are being tightly controlled by our tech overlords. When sites like Parler & Kiwi Farms are shutdown, when the standing president is thrown off Twitter, this isn't some left wing victory over the right, it's the the living proof of an authoritarian oligarchy in action. It should put fear into the heart of any citizen that wishes to speak freely. Great article! Thanks for writing!
I agree with this. I've been to KF and it was mostly just people shitposting, from what I could see. Some of it was funny and some of it was interesting because people were pretty brutally honest. But I stayed away from the threads dedicated to individual people coz that's out of line, IMO. I can fully understand how distressing it would be to be made a permanent , ongoing spectacle. I wouldn't have worried about it much if the activists would have merely forced KW to shut those threads down. Instead, they killed a community and convinced themselves it was a good thing because they were degenerates. It's that ability of people to just fully deceive themselves and vilify others that I find scary about humans. I have less faith in humans than I've ever had., Anyway, it was clear to me that all the explanations for shutting them down were based on obvious lies, just like *everything* about this ideology turns out to be lies in the end. I am at the point now where I'm so turned off by it I'm going to start actively avoiding any businesses/corporations that support it..
