    Don’t want to be too much of a downer, but if enough rich folk decide the system does not work for them. These rich folks will fight to change the system to function more like China and Russia. Where the peons have limited political expression and swift removal of ‘subversive’ speech.

      Look at the events of the past few years, and especially the past few months in the US, and tell me that they’re not already trying to do so.

      They tried to silence people with social media. I’m banned on every major platform for being anti capitalist anti imperialist anti fascist and pro murdering health insurance CEOs (ok, that’s a new one years after being banned, but my sentiment has always been there).

      They can’t stop the fediverse. They can’t silence us like they used to.
