The internet will soon be a “safe space”, free from “hatred”, free from “Fake News”, free from “hurtful rhetoric” and of course, free from any views or opinions that do not fit the “progressive narrative”.

Very interesting. Thank you Maurice. I might have gone off the deep end a bit in my post. I can’t apologize though as it seems I am surrounded by folks who have never read/watched/studied “A Tale of Two Cities” or any other history of the world for the last 10,000 years. It is Never pleasant, orderly or bloodless.
I will wait for my Gab.ai invite to come through.

Just about the only thing I listen to these days is WBCQ. But, if there comes serious censorship on the Internet, shortwave will make a comeback.
