I'll admit I struggle to understand the psychology of authoritarian right people in Anglosphere nations basically licking the boot when it comes to internet censorship. Like if you had your way, you wouldn't be able to speak at all, ruled by people who still hate you. The EU seems to have a similar vein of people where they crack down on any dissent in the name of 'protecting democracy' that keeps whittling away from such moves. But principled (and rational) libertarianism seems to be a rarity if not outright contradiction these days so I can understand the confusion a bit.

Could just be because I have a touch of the 'tism, but I don't find it very difficult at all to glean the mind of an authoritarian. Whether left or right, it ultimately boils down to tribalism and how policies can best serve a handful of people at the expense of everyone else. I'm also a libertarian, mind you so I could just have a finger on the pulse of the matter. @gabriel@mstdn.starnix.network
