So what is to be done? Even pro-free speech alternative social media outlets are under attack from the Big Tech/government Leviathan. There are no easy solutions. But we must think back to the dissidents in the era of Soviet tyranny. They had no Internet. They had no social media. They had no ability to communicate with thousands and millions of like-minded, freedom lovers. Yet they used incredible creativity in the face of incredible adversity to continue pushing their ideas. Because no army – not even Big Tech partnered with Big Government - can stop an idea whose time has come. And Liberty is that idea. We must move forward with creativity and confidence!

This is the last part of the piece, but I think it's the best.

They had the Russian Orthodox Church. They spilled their blood for it.

Lyrics “For What it’s Worth”

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you’re always afraid
Step out of line, the man come and take you away
We better stop
Hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look - what’s going down?

The government seems off the rails, steeped in paranoia and afraid of the citizens. They are taking away forms of communication; wonder if individuals continue to step out of line will “the man come and take” them away?

It didn’t help that Ted Cruz called us terrorists.

I know it's a side issue, but one of the victims of political correctness is transliteration. If you wanted the translation of a Russian word it used to be presented to you in your alphabet, but now it is presented in Cyrillic, which most English speaking people don't know.

So you will most likely seldom ever see the transliterated word 'samizdat' which refers to the underground literature used by dissidents in the Soviet Union to communicate with one another.

And if not for America, the Soviet Union would still be going strong.

I agree. I like “we must move forward with creativity and confidence.”

Once backed into a corner, Cruz must have decided it was every man for himself.

I would hold the Supreme Court more liable than Trump for inciting the mostly peaceful protest in DC because SCOTUS refused to address the OBVIOUS and OVERWealming evidence of election fraud.

Not addressing the issue made a lot of people think that protest was the only option.

Yes! Drive them nuts trying to figure this stuff out. They are nothing but big tech bureaucrats and they won’t be able to handle anything creative.
