Ruqqus and other platforms like it then ... that’s the antidote

We need more people to wake up and use them though. Too many drones out there.

I got my first Internet connection the first week of September in 2001. I suppose you could consider me a late adopter. But I still think there was better discourse in the comment sections on Audiogalaxy than there is on social media today. It was all uncensored and open. No algorithms or heavy handed moderation. Just people speaking their mind.

My earliest experiences where 2008 YouTube. Just silly videos and no corporate media presence. It was pure creativity and freedom.

The real problem is when we start self-censoring ourselves to appease the sjw's. I write without hate, but the left would shut me down claiming offense and that I am a racist misogynist just because I hold a viewpoint that is not ideologically as insanely left as theirs. Then they will dox me and cause me grief. That is why I don't post on Fakebook any more. If I didn't self censor there I would be destroyed publicly.

The left are utopian. The issue is that they will never ever be satisfied.
