well yeah, with academia and big tech embracing censorship, that itself equals a huge amount of institutional power and a significant part of society completely abandoning free speech as an ideal, which in turn leads to what i described. basically the more people abandon the idea, the less appealing it becomes even to the remaining people who still support it, because an idea based on mutual respect simply fails when a significant part of the population refuse to contribute to that mutual respect.imo this kind of distorted amplification of 1 radical political ideal can only exist because of tech companies curating the conversation and academia punishing anyone who steps out of line. it's a symptom of censorship, not of a permissive society that encouraged debate. any idea that censorship could benefit some other ideology instead of our current lunacy is still a faustian bargain.
