You couldn't talk about this when it was taking place. Speech was stifled completely and universally.
We need to really think about how to allow dissent. Without it, society will spiral out of control by people that want to control it.
- gowld 4y agoCan you give one example?
- systemvoltage 4y agoPretty much every comment that mentioned this was flagged in the year 2020 well into 2021 on HN. It was overwhelmingly clear.
