> the entire world watched in horror at the events of January 6th

Umm, no. I’d rather say it was a mildly interesting event for the entire world outside of the US. For instance, I don’t remember myself experiencing horror really.

If anything it was funny to me and my friends and colleagues.

I was pretty horrified by it and the way Pence and Romney have been treated is just foolish by conservatives.

I think a better example though is Flat Earth ideas.

Suppressing people from communicating that the Earth is flat is far more dangerous than the idea that the Earth is flat.

All the West really has going for it is that we are able to entertain ridiculous ideas. This is what lets our creativity percolate on the network.

Once that is gone we have nothing. Just a small % of the global population, kind of lazy, kind of entitled.
