  1. I watched this video yesterday and wish them well and success in setting up an alternative to the Patreon apparatchiks at the Ministry of What Is Truth.

  2. I think most of us who grew up in the 50s and 60s spent a great deal of time wondering how something as depraved as the Holocaust or the great 20th Century genocides of communist regimes could come about while looking at it from what we considered a civilized society safe from such events. We are now seeing the early stages of what could easily progress down that road and I would say that the cause was that good people did nothing to stop the obvious taking over of virtually all of our institutions by the left.

    Initially there were simply corporate cowards and now corporate leftist activists flourishing from crony capitalism actively engaged in snuffing out liberty. These are useful idiots on a grand scale. If free speech is lost, the road to serfdom or war is all that remains.

  3. Increasingly, I believe that it will be impossible for governments not to pass legislation to address the interference by private companies in the areas that government themselves exist to regulate, like freedom of speech, freedom of expression and the commercial aspects related to exercising those freedoms.

    In their own self-interest, that of maintaining the power to regulate private companies, governments will be compelled to step in and protect basic freedoms like freedom of speech and the commercial aspects related to that freedom. The failure of governments to take action over the medium term undermines their legitimacy and will lead to further instability in society.

    Once the commercial aspects of censorship permeate a significant percentage of the market place governments will begin the process of developing legislation to counter, and eventually remove the threat to their own power to regulate commerce that attacks fundamental freedoms, like freedom of speech.

    The main problem today is that percentage of the market place that is affected by this type of commercial censorship is too small to even register on the radar of regulatory bureaucracy let alone politicians who are the last to decide to correct a situation.

    In short things will have to get a great deal worse before there is a chance that they will get better.
