 I fled censorship, I know that much.

The anti-scientific debacle known as "The Lockdowns" was a two headed beast; one head was called propaganda, and the other head was called  censorship.

Many many many decent, honest and expert opinions that desperately tried to steer the debate on draconian lockdowns into the realm of sense and reason were chewed to pieces by rabid censorship.

It has only gotten worse and more sophisticated since.

There is a digital gulag archipelego forming around us, and the amount of meaningful spaces where you can speak your mind without fear of censorship is evaporating rapidly. 
Each of us flee to higher ground each time the waters of censorship rise, eventually inhabiting our individual desert islands, sad and alone, our shouts reaching nobody.
 
 Okay.

Let me rephrase.

“Also, it’s presumptive that **all people here** “fled censorship”.”

You fled what you believe was censorship. I did not flee censorship. 
 You didn’t pay attention to my note! It says “SOME of you who fled” 
 Ah yep. I was thinking it meant all who advocated for censoring were those who fled but that’s not right. You are correct, my bad. 
 I hear you, that's fair.
