After 12 years of content-creation for YouTube, and many years (and profiles) on FaceBook, these mainstream sites have had enough of my opinion and attitude. Despite me not breaking any rules, both sites are taking down my content and locking me out of my accounts.
The natural state of human organizations is toward tyranny, while the natural state of human individuals is toward liberty. We all want and need to be free, but there are many benefits to cooperation, like infrastructure, technology, art.
If the ideal society exists, how would it be structured? I believe it will maximize the individual liberty of the individuals that make it up, as well as the benefits of cooperation. Always striving to maximize liberty so that corruption and tyranny can't gain a foothold.
Until then, we have tyranny running rampant in the form of online censorship - activists, truth-tellers, and peaceful freedom fighters being disappeared from the internet, rapidly and in huge numbers. It indicates that something nasty is about to happen on the world stage. They always censor the free press at the start of major wars.
Always light that candle of liberty, but beware that evil will snuff you out without a second thought. Hope, dream, and aim for peace. Prepare for anything.
