As great as free speech is, I don't think western political systems will survive it if it's not accompanied by transparency and accountability. Humans are hard wired to perceive their environments as local. They are not local anymore. The bar of plausible deniability has sunk two inches into the mud we stand on for any dumbass political justification.
I don't want restrictions on free speech, but I also feel absolutely screwed by the way society functions right now.
- krapp 6y agoSorry, but both "transparency" and "accountability" are considered censorship now.
- dependenttypes 6y agoI think that you are confused. If anything it is the lack of transparency that is closer to censorship.
- krapp 6y agoI'm being censored for my facetious, low quality comment!
- Proven 6y agoYou can't get screwed if there's no government to screw you. You want the government to do 100 different things. One of them will be to screw you over. Big government is not a predominantly western political system. Small government is.
