I am a big believer that pushing back will fix things. Here is some advice on how to get involved for yourself, what to do to push on "the system," how the system will try to shut you up, and how to keep pushing back until you win: https://saidit.net/s/politics/comments/74q5/how_can_i_as_an_individual_jump_in_and_fight/

    Because the government and by proxy the people have allowed for the monopolization of things, like with hosting, ISP's, data centers etc etc, yes..

    Yes they should be forced to host it. The government allowed for such consolidation of power, and in that case absolutely. Netflix can host movies about and with child porn, yet the calls for censoring them are nil.

    The people on the other side have made their choice. If someone finds such acceptable, they most certainly aren't reasonable or likely to be reasoned with. You aren't defeating them with ideas, because they don't care.

    We are a creative species. As long as we can change the laws to be fair, we will find ways to circumvent the unreasonable actors and find like-minded people to collaborate with (by like-minded, I mean people who believe in fairness and free speech, not necessarily the same political views). The secret is demanding that the unfair laws be repealed so we have a level playing field from which to work. And to make the laws fair, we need to do some serious pushing back on the government that is in place now. The "parasite class" has been slowly but changing the laws to be detrimental for the average person for decades; we have to get them changed back (or improved!)
