i am glad that we here in the west are not subject to this sort of social media engineering and can participate in open and thoughtful debate on topics no matter how our elites feel about them

[uniqueuid]

I honestly can't tell if you are cynical.

Because this is exactly what is the case! We are here and can participate in these discussions, more than ever before in history.

There are limits to free discussions (i.e. if you threaten or plot to kill somebody), but these limits have never been less in any country in any time.

So - let's not be overly pessimistic?

When these free discussions turn into anti-vax bullshit which has literally made people willing to have people die than listen to reason, it’s caused me to wonder when free speech goes too far.

[ipaddr]

Free discussion can happen until it goes into a subject you have made up your mind on?

Whether you are on your 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th vax shot what fully vaxed means is different around the globe. The poorest coutries haven't receive many/enough. Strange health issues are coming up as side effects. The first long term trial ends in 2024. I don't think shutting down discussion on such an important issue makes sense. The science isn't in... maybe something will emerge that will even change your mind.

Deplatforming unpopular voices. And there is corruption everywhere as exemplified by the Cuomo shenanigans and now sime activists are quitting because their superiors were using them as puppets to enhance their agendas.

LOL, perfect right down to the lowercase i and lack of concluding period :)

That said, I don't know from what angle you're deadpanning, or which elites from where you mean, but… heh. noted. how nice for us
