        Lol thats not the government blocking them. That’s PornHub giving the finger to red states and they blocked red states from accessing their website, because they didn’t want to comply with a law to collect information on their viewers.

      Well one difference is that the US still have free access to most of the internet.

      To most of the internet expect to the stuff that they don’t want you to see.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavabit

      “Lavabit is an open-source encrypted webmail service, founded in 2004. The service suspended its operations on August 8, 2013, after the U.S. Federal Government ordered it to turn over its Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) private keys, in order to allow the government to spy on Edward Snowden’s email.”

        I mean to be honest, unless you live in a law-less society. There is no such thing as 100% freedom. You either choose from 100% censorship, 75% censorship, 50% censorship, etc…

        I mean, I don’t think that in most countries in the world, you can have easily access CSAM, or guides on how to build a nuclear weapon, locations of radioactive materials, how to launch a terrorist attack, etc…

        I mean, even an anarchist society would probably censor things like CSAM. Freedom and Authoritarianism is not all or nothing, there’s a scale in between.

        Edit: And if you want to run a website (like a privacy service) without getting shut down, host it in switzerland, then the US would have to raid a foreign country, or try legal shenaigans internationally. Not impossible, but makes their job much harder.

        See example: Protonmail survived.

          Protonmail survived.

          Why do you think they survived?

          I mean to be honest, unless you live in a law-less society.

          We already live in a law-less society, the president of the most powerful country in the world is a pedo.

    I can see where these things are coming, but it tries way too hard to use different terms for each side. Like Entrepreneur is definitely not the same as an Oligarch however one tries to twist it. Authoritarian - Law & Order comparison is a bit strange, since it would seem that you are implying that Authoritarianism to any kind of government. Every other term, hold Invasion, could have an asterisk attached to them.

    Ah I see that “Late Stage Capitalism” actually means “tankie” in this community.

      You were actually in a socialist/communist space. This isn’t late stage capitalism in an ironic liberal bullshit kind of way, it’s actual late stage capitalism, which is a stage of fascism.
