Did the pixels offend you? Block everyone who disagrees with you. Now you know why no one you knew voted for Trump. If the left is obsessed with turning their entire belief system into a remake of the 1930s radio model (One story teller allowed, millions of listeners), then we will get 1930s results. Meanwhile, I'll be using the internet the way Jesus 2.0 intended and engaging in robust anonymous communication networks to inoculate myself from feinting pearl-clutchers and other paid government emotion hackers. I'll give you one guess which ecosystem will survive when the powers that be realized their precious fourth estate no longer works like it did in the 1930s.

"Did the pixels offend you? Block everyone who disagrees with you." It's called freedom of association. No one is owed a hearing by there mere presence online or even offline from private organizations and private citizens. "If the left is obsessed with turning their entire belief system into a remake of the 1930s radio model (One story teller allowed, millions of listeners), then we will get 1930s results." That's exactly what the web is. It's a pull model. They post pages, you send a GET request to see the content. Don't like the content then don't send the GET request. "Meanwhile, I'll be using the internet the way Jesus 2.0 intended and engaging in robust anonymous communication networks to inoculate myself from feinting pearl-clutchers and other paid government emotion hackers." It's intended for individuals and private organizations to freely choose how to disseminate/consume their content. If that offends you then maybe you're the pearl-clutcher here perhaps? "I'll give you one guess which ecosystem will survive when the powers that be realized their precious fourth estate no longer works like it did in the 1930s." Sure and magically cable tv and talk radio will disappear from the Earth. /s

  Freedom of association means assembling with like-minded interests, not purging unlike-minded interests. What you are trying to defend with that deep-end SJW Kool-aid belly flop is the unchristened but widely-held "freedom of ignorance" where you have the freedom to be stupid by denying information to yourself. Which of course, not only do you have but also appear ready to fight to the doxx to defend. The web is not a pull model. Learn the other HTTP verbs... or cherry-pick away to continue the "Fischer Price's My First Venture Outside of Tumblr" shtick everyone sees you pulling, that's fine, too. The web does allow individuals and private organizations to determine their distribution methodology. And not all of them are winners. The 1930s model has been dead once the tyrants of socialism bludgeoned it to death. But, hey... you seem hell-bent on justifying why your brand of censorship is awesome, how about a wager: You post your actual identifying information like social media has trained you and I won't post mine. Guess who doesn't have to adhere to the behaviour expectations of the people in my head and synthetic social pressures and status signalling, and thus, has true freedom of expression? Which one of us is going to be hunted down by axe-grinding autists who are obsessed with ideological purity and which one of us is going bypass that entire system until you hunt each other to death? Which of these strategies will survive beyond the impending eulogy of old media? Because I gotta tell ya... that bicoastal elitist bubble and the partnership with the thought factories over at mainstream media have gone full diminishing returns after September. I hear the Global Engagement Centre is hiring. You'd be perfect for them. Maybe we can fight Nazis with nothing but a $60,000 degree in English and composition! Yeah! We can repeat 1945 over and over and over again just so you can feel good! Because that's what matters.
