Defund public spaces, then increase the cost of private spaces. Neoliberalism, everybody.

I had that problem too. Thing is, nothing was broken and everything was fine. It just whined at me.

This is actually how it happened for me.

Aw you got it before I did…

“It’s raising a child for ~20 years, Michael. What could it cost? 5k?”

It’s good to know I’m not the only one who thinks this way. That marble analogy is on point. The US is built on mutually beneficial structures. When one cabal of structures starts targeting others, the functionality of the whole country flounders and rebellion is legitimized.

But they can make up excuses for their arsenal for whenever they want to ban a site they don’t like from common eyes.

“It was banned because it was pornography”

“It was banned because it was displaying pirated content”

“It was banned because it harmed the public good”

They want control over what the common people can see, hear, say, and think.
