> I am aware of the fact that information control is a central part of any power structure setup, and I assume that too many people lack the skills, the option, and even the desire to deeply and meaningfully engage with most topics, but I'd still love to be part of a society where ideas and opinions can be freely and respectfully shared and debated. the covid fiasco happened a few years ago. people were fired and some were imprisoned for not towing the line. there were mayors of towns harassing their voters on the streets. the general population was by and large very supportive of the politicians who were imposing restrictions :) the age of “free and respectful opinions” is gone. see the USA for an extreme example.
