You can’t fix censorship with tech. The only solution is booting the facists out.




You won't find many historical examples of fascists being booted out by the people.

The only successful revolutions are piloted by a small elite with further interests that may not coincide with the people.

Every fascist regime that has ever existed has been ousted by war, revolution, or the vote. There are no fascist regimes left, unless you expand the definition of the term to mean “any authoritarian regime,” in which case there are plenty of historical examples of popular revolt.

This isn’t true.


Authoritarian regimes very rarely get reverted if they aren't external powers ruling a separate group. Can you give some examples where it happened? I don't know of any that lasted very long.
