@boeswilligkeit @sickburnbro Another piece is that we're at the end of Western Political Ideology. After several centuries The Enlightenment is just a fart-sniffing corpse and it's competing ideologies are covered with dust and have insufficient appeal for radical action. Fukuyama was right, just in the wrong direction because it looks like Eastern Autocracy all the way down.

I would agree that's inevitable, or it's going to be double-VPNing into some dubious server in Iceland. Even in the best case scenario where some hunta closely aligned with our own views gets in they're not going to tolerate even semi-open dissent (they probably couldn't afford to).
