I enjoy reading the "conspiracy theories" but I have always seen it as critical thinking and encourage all kinds of peaceful civil discourse.

How much more peaceful could we be thab posting our most extreme concerns on the internet where everyone has a fair chance to respond?

But you're right, the public forum, where man kind shares his Reflections of the beaurocrat realities we manifest, has been corrupted.

The blank parchment and quill all men have the equal opportunity to, but if slander is all they are composing who is even interested in that?

Sadly there is large scale capitalism revolving around the culture of intimidation and its become profitable to destroy your peers with the press you get for standing with the status quo narrative.

The open forum, the blank parchment, the tablature we desire to share with our peers has become a breeding ground for toxic visionaries that have mistaken a difference of opinion with a linear trajectory mankind was never going to follow in the first place.

Perhaps one day, we will find a way to disagree in a public forum once again, but slander is definitely tainting the public forum to the point most of us censor our opinions just to test the waters about these things, almost out of fear of being accused for having concerns that are not approved by the status quo.

Mankind is always seeking to dominate, and I would prefer to see sovereign people dominate on Hive, not protectionists and follower culture.

"follower culture is the most toxic aspect of the internet" - a person we will leave out of this
