Right, so what happens when a doctor refuses to treat you because they don’t like your political beliefs?
You go to a different doctor.
You libertarian types seem to be obsessed with what the government might do to you but are utterly blind to the danger posed by corporate fascism running rampant over your rights. At least the government is somewhat democratically accountable for their actions.
George Washington said, “Government is not reason, it is not eloquence,—it is force! Like fire, it is a dangerous servant, and a fearful master". Was he a libertarian?
“You go to a different doctor.”
And what if all the doctors in town are of the same mindset? Youtube, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram etc are all owned by a handful of companies controlled by leftist ideologues instituting policies of silencing conservatives if they become too influential.
Alternatives like Gab, Telegram etc are not popular and don’t have the same mass audience, so they are essentially acting as a cartel that is stifling the rights of people who in their eyes, step out of line.
“Government is not reason, it is not eloquence,—it is force! Like fire, it is a dangerous servant, and a fearful master” George Washington lived in an age multinational corporations didn’t exist, and private businesses certainly didn’t wield the kind of power governments and people that they do now. Back then, a government was the only instution powerful enough to excercise tyranny. Back then, you also had a very diverse range of press, even at the local level and the papers were usually very staunch rivals and didn’t conspire together to create a singular narrative the way social media companies today do.
