Do We Know What We Stand To Lose Without Free Speech
Are people even aware of how much we stand to lose by letting free speech fade away into the abyss? Do we know the liberties we are losing and the freedoms our descendants will not have? This isn’t about getting political, it’s about the future and the present not being handed over entirely to the ruling class.
It’s a challenge to talk about free speech because with where we are at, it sounds conspiratorial to talk about the state of free speech and where it’s headed because it’s absolutely insane that we have let it get this far. Sadly though, because we have let it get this far, even discussing the reality of the situation and the truth sounds far fetched. In one of the most prosperous times in humanity with poverty at its lowest, how is it that we are on the verge of losing free speech and how is it that so many are willing to let this happen?
I think the answer is simple. Most people are too optimistic that someone else will do it. Most people aren’t political. Most people don’t get actively involved in the state of their livelihood and hope that someone else who is more qualified will just take care of it. The middle class is losing all of its power going out with a whimper while a select few stands against the propaganda, the lies, the far leftist socialist and pro-censorship rhetoric. What is free speech to you? Do you feel that you have it now? Do you think you’ll still have that same version of free speech in 5 years? In 10 years?

Yeah it's obvious but why the hell is free speech destroyed then?! Always talk about this, it's always good to send a message around and remind people what's going on!
Keep it going bruh! Peace yo!
I guess when I say "it's obvious", it's really only obvious to people paying attention because when you look, it's brutally obvious though most don't look. As I said in the video, explaining this to someone out of the loop would think it's a conspiracy even though it's plain to see and it's no secret
"It’s a challenge to talk about free speech because with where we are at, it sounds conspiratorial to talk about the state of free speech"
I have noticed that too and it is a real problem. To say that the established authority or ruling class does not like having its narrative challenged and will jump at the chance to limit speech is not on par with ranting about lizard people or something.
Exactly, but they're doing a good job of stigmatizing it as so :( That's why credible people need to spread more awareness about this!
Lol yeah, exactly
I understand your point of view but we are all of us differents from each other, my way of thinking may be different regarding yours.
So, I think the kind of person we are determine our point of view, and also determine if we have free speech or not as you say it.

But we can't have free speech and not have it. It's one or the other and the real motivation behind removing it is to control what is being said which is not a good thing. There are nuances of bad in free speech, but it's better to let the people decide and have their share and say. Isn't that why you are on Steem?

I think it's like a lot of stuff in life, if it doesn't effect me it doesn't concern me is the way most people flow. I think they tend to think that people who suffer the loss of something is from a consequence of those people's actions, if they don't engage on the same level they feel their will never be any consequences stalled upon them. It's the ostrich with his head in the sand then when something happens that causes them to lift their heads up they look to everyone else to explain exactly how that happened.
Yeah very true and it's really unfortunate, but the reality of it
I just realized I also follow you on minds as well . places of free speech , good to see that you see what is going on .
Appreciate the follows and yeah just fighting the good fight
In germany for example we don´t only lost free speech we got divided by media, politics etc.
The people are getting stranger from day to day. I hope that more humans are going to wake up before its to late for safety, love and peace.
Yeah it s getting like that everywhere now. Hopefully it's not too late
