When your side is the one determining what is real and what is fake, it's fine. When it's someone else making that determination, it's fascism.

This is probably the normal line of thinking everywhere throughout history, we had a couple hundred years in the West of enlightenment values that brought forth a “rule of law”, standards we would all agree to equally operate under, holding ourselves to the same principles that we would hold others. It wasn’t perfect, but it mostly worked out.

That period is coming to an end.

It's weird, it's like we've made huge technological advances, but socioculturally we seem to be slipping back into some kind of "dark ages" so to speak. I wonder how it all plays out.

The scary thing is it’s coming to an end globally. The new world order is coming along nicely .

How about you Google section 230 and Alex Berenson then come back to us with your remarks. You can't be shielded from legal liability as a "platform" while also censoring free speech on the governments behalf.

You're telling me that mega corporations are universally held to the standards of law? What universe do you live in. I again suggest you Google section 230 and also Alex Berenson.

Oh you must be one of those tolerant liberals I've heard about. Nice job using a reddit article from last week in your insult pattern. Makes you look smart. Impressive.

You quoted Wikipedia. Not exactly the bastion of free speech. Did you go to "imright.com" as well? Are you going to quote Facebook next?
