Here the Glenn Greenwald post from the time of the Kiwifarms debacle is worth referencing. https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1567292900312064000 https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1567292900312064000 >But the worst is watching people whose job title in corporate HR Departments is "journalist" take the lead in agitating for censorship. They exploit the platforms of corporate giants to pioneer increasingly dangerous means of banning dissenters. These are the authoritarians. Its especially despicable if it happens consciously as a means to an end. Signaling towards a common enemy is highly profitable in a tribalism ridden society. Doing this despite an understanding of the risk it entails can hardly be described as anything but malice. I can only think of imploring people to read Meerloos "Rape of the mind" about the existential risk totalitarian systems pose. And even if someone already went full Stalinist thinking the ends justify the means, its worth mentioning that its a self destructive delusion. It cant work and the revolution eats its children reliably. Be it the SA or the red guard, they always end as the victims of the monster they created. Unfortunately the rest of society is then stuck in the dystopian nightmare these delusional maniacs created. edit: On this note, Arte recently had a documentary about the Chinese gulag system https://www.arte.tv/en/videos/106702-001-A/china-s-concentration-camps-1-2/ https://www.arte.tv/en/videos/106702-001-A/china-s-concentra... edit1: The only one saving you from this fate is yourself. So maybe dont put it off till you are in prison. >In the same text, Martsinkevich said he’d finally read Alexander Solzhenitsyn's “The Gulag Archipelago” for the first time. “If I’d read ‘Gulag Archipelago’ before I sat down to write ‘Restrukt,’ I wouldn’t have even started it!” he confessed. https://meduza.io/en/feature/2020/09/17/in-the-end-it-doesn-t-matter https://meduza.io/en/feature/2020/09/17/in-the-end-it-doesn-...
