Unfortunately your views are fundamentally opposed to what most people (at the very least here) would define as freedom and civil rights.

  Judging from the negative scores, you are right. Does that mean I am going to self-sensor my views to avoid losing karma? No. You have your rights to disagree, I have my rights to express my views.

    >"I have my rights to express my views. " Only if you don't mind the downvotes. For some odd reason, these 'imaginary points' end up causing me to self-censor anyways. On further-thought, it makes me think it's just something built into us. We seek social/group approval, and it makes us regress to the mean when it comes to thought/opinion. However, I don't think it's the right way for our brains to be wired, especially with social media exposing us to the entire world. And now with this border-search thing. If it means that the state end up having access to all your social media accounts, that now span decade+ timeframes, not even time and personal growth/regret can protect us.

    Yeah, it would be preferable if your comments weren't voted down here because of disagreement with the view you express, as long as it's expressed clearly and constructively (which it is).

    I don't advocate for downvoting those whom I disagree with, if it were up to me you wouldn't be downvoted.
