I will NOT be elaborating on this plan of action. Thank you for the consideration.
In an open and free society, the State or media owners knowingly propagating lies should be be considered exactly the same as them censoring the truth.
Freedom of speech is the freedom to openly debate the truth, not the freedom to control media to subvert it.
Yes, I do believe that if the Vikings had the technology to build the electric guitar, then they would have discovered heavy metal and easily conquered the planet.
I'm not sure why this is considered "controversial".
Some people are apparently claiming that Silicon Valley Tech Bros have consciousness, like normal humans.

Yeah joking aside IE6 literally cost billions of dollars in economic damage just so one guy could try to wrest control of Internet standards away from the public, and dictate how we digitally communicate forever for private gain.

"A better world is possible" used to be an uplifting message about the dream of creating a better future.
Now it is just a straightforward statement. Likeβ¦FOR SURE a better world is possible. This stupid shit we are up to now definitely isn't the best we can do. Not even close.
