Who is historically responsible for platforming bad actors? Have they made any concessions about their learning journey? Or is it all just a litttttttte too on-message? Where is the reparation?

High Pressure Dynamics and Surveillance is NOT ok! The federal government is now monitoring people for anti-authrotiarian views on the Internet and blocking critics of the right from entering the united states. Its not just geopolitics, though.

Who won’t let you criticize them? Ready for another organizational red flag? Leadership that won’t allow criticism, of course!
