A cypherpunk upholds the freedom of speech. Freedom of speech is under severe attack at this point in history, and has been ever since the so-called Western "enlightenment" age - let no one fool us on this point - fundamentally, the sins of the powerful/ oligarchy, are used by them to justify their suppression of our speech/ communication. It only takes a minute of thought on the matter to witness the truth of this sad fact. So, what are the barriers to decentralizing Twitter via gateway/ bridge software connecting the incumbent gorilla with alternative P2P competitors? Does the gorilla disallow quoting someone who says something contentious? For example, let's say TDS founder Anglin says "Gas all the Jews, RaHoWa now!" and I tweet: Shocking! Anglin continues to call for gassing all the Jews, today said “Gas all the Jews, RaHoWa now!” - must fight back! Would such quoting be cause for my twatter account to be banned ⟨perhaps someone who uses twatter can comment from experience⟩? The problem: banning of accounts, insane propagandization of everything and more from The Ministry: ** Twitter Warns Russia Insider About Russian Propaganda! - We Write Back! https://russia-insider.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fa2faf7034c3c3c413cb3652f&id=b6e4502575&e=5110f4b440 ------------------------------------------------------------ by Charles Bausman on Sat, Jan 20, 2018 I woke up this morning to find this priceless gem in my inbox: So I wrote them back: Undoubtedly articles such as the following would result in banned twatter accounts left and right: ** Richard Spencer Devotes Full Segment to Russia Insider's 'Jew' Article on Weekly Talk Show (Audio) https://russia-insider.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fa2faf7034c3c3c413cb3652f&id=dd8d010b16&e=5110f4b440 ------------------------------------------------------------ by Charles Bausman on Fri, Jan 19, 2018 In the last segment, the gang really tucked in to my article: 'It's Time to Drop the Jew Taboo', which has set off a rousing debate.

Similarly to freedom of speech being under attack, so is the individual - group-think is in, and the neo-marxist agenda is successfully redifining you as a member of a group, no individual at all - communism (the bad bits) by the back door is well on the way. And so, one of the greatest ironies is that a true "Western" conservatism is actually an antidote to the dichomatic madness being spewed out by the so-called "liberal left" (which is in fact anything but - rabidly racing head long into a totalitarian dystopia). Respect for the sovereignty of the individual, as Dr Jordan Peterson puts it, is one of the foundations of Western society, and, he says, this (along with a number of other foundations) are in todays madness a genuinely conservative position which may inform the various conservative political parties (we are still living in hiearchical purported democracies last I checked). Compelling stuff. Enjoy, 2017/06/15: 12 principles for a 21st century conservatism - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nyw4rTywyY0 [The intro ends at 17:57 for those who wish to skip that...]
