The craziest thing about the Brazilian X censorship is how little my normie friends and family seem to care. Everyone knows I am a bitcoiner and open source/free tech advocate. I haven't seen a single comment about this in my WhatsApp groups (both family and friends) and no one came to talk to me about it. I think they got used to it already.
How many do you know that actually believe free speech needs to be curtailed? It’s probably higher than you think (or want to)
Most of them. They believe free speech does not mean speak freely. Absolutely bizarre.
What I find fascinating is the ease of achievement. Push a false right/left paradigm, give huge exposure to the most extreme on both sides and just simply wait for people to beg for curtailment of freedom. When one stands back to look at bigger picture, it’s the sheer simplicity and ease that’s truly astonishing
