I've been saying since about 2000, that the internet was the greatest weapon against totalitarianism since the invention of the gun.

We still got guns, but we're steadily losing the internet.

Greenfield doesn't really offer a solution, but what he does offer is benign government interference. Rarely does government interference produce more freedom, though it's not impossible.

A market based solution would be much better, but if marketplace of ideas that allowed unfettered conservative thought arose, the balkanization of our politics would likely grow worse.

I also offer no real solution.

I like our chances.
