RE: Censorship and suppression of free speech on Steem. Really?
When libertarians and anarchists shrill about "freedom," they are merely venting discontent about not having enough license to be held unaccountable for their vices. True freedom can not exist without responsibility and obligation. Consequences of speech and actions ought to be an expected facet of freedom, not something to whine about incessantly.
I like the way you said this.
Most people spend their lives trying with all their might to get out of responsibility and obligation by doing things that inevitably brings them more.
Behind a screen, consequence of speech is largely voided. A face to face only world would see a lot fewer people 'speaking freely'. The distance of consequence means any idea can be pushed regardless of validity and in time, extremes of thought can rage unchecked in silos and released in waves.
