With the Election 2020 weve seen so much censorship of right wing voices that it comes a time to ask ourselves:
Whats the end game here?
By accident on twitter i ran into a link to Joe Bidens campaign website where he talks about "fighting online abuse". I had to look into it. Heres a screenshot of part of the text. You can find the rest on joebiden.com/vawa.
Apparently this "task force" will develop their own set of rules on what is online abuse and harassment, and will try and get social media to accept it. Mean people on the internet are mean and need to be stopped.
A big issue with this, beyond calling writing words online "sexual harrasment", with this is the circled word. "Extremism". As we have seen from the "Project Veritas" leaks, the facebook and twitter moderators label as extremism anything that opposes their worldview. A leftist task force would most likely do the same.
Censorship under the guise of protecting people online.
This, "anti-troll" task force could happen or it might not, but the fact they wrote this clearly shows the stance of the ruling elite (if Biden wins) on censorship resistance and freedom of speech.
Could a task force on "misinformation" be next? The government telling you what youre allowed to say online? What youre allowed to see?
This is something straight out of Orwell 1984 and it is not hard to imagine. It happens slowly and gradually with ideas like this because if they made big leaps the public would react in revolt.
So they take a small step at a time, small steps that alone do not warrant revolt from the public, rather a grin of unappreciation, counting on the publics short memory span, but in the end they get the result they want.
There are very few things more dear to me than freedom of speech, letting people say what they have to say.
That should be a uniting factor between the two sides of the political spectrum.

It happens slowly, and then explodes upon people. They wake up one day not realizing what happened.
This is right out of the marxist playbook. Their end game is total control, all under the authority and answering to an elite government. Freedom in any form is not on the agenda.
Yet the dumbmasses are asleep as always. They will protect their ideology at all costs.
Of course, the right is no different other than the pace they are moving towards this end. People like Bush and McCain were all for it.

Its hard to guess what a completely right leaning media establishment would look like. Id assume they would be similar.
Thats why a balance is required to keep it fair for everyone. Crypto social media can offer that balance where everyone is free to say what they want.

Post WW I Germany is alive and well in the USA.
We're living in 2020 and headed towards the wild wild west. Half this country or more is well aware of it.

We will see if Trump finds evidence of voter fraud.
We sure will. I don't see the fleecing of the USA as a good thing for BTC. But what do I really know? Maybe BTC doesn't care either way. 👍🦁
