For someone who's creating a brand new internet constellation in space I could not be more proud, he will essentially make his gateways to the internet and every person is free to join.
I have a feeling many in liberals in urban areas do things to help themselves under the prospect of helping people, they see homeless people pooping on their doorsteps and drug addits shooting up in their kids playgrounds. And they think, "how do I get rid of this shit?" And they look at the partys and Dems have advertised themselves quite well as "the party that helps people" but their policies under the guise of altruism tend to do more harm than good (sometimes intentionally). And these liberals they dont reallly care about homeless or drug addicts, they just want them off their street but when you hear them speak they say "This helps homeless and drug addicts" but what they are really thinking is "I cant wait to get this shit off my street."
You’ll be surprised how things can rub off on you. I lived in the Bay Area, CA my whole life. Spent 4 years in Utah for college and experienced conservative/rural culture for the first time.
While it didn’t change a whole lot about my own culture, what it did teach me is to appreciate and respect different ways of life from my own and will gladly fight and defend for my fellow Americans to protect their own culture.
The internet itself is not especially suppressed. It's the services that are built on top of it and the social forces that concentrate power that are at issue.
The big services sowed the seeds of their own downfall long ago and truly distributed services (bittorrent, cryptocurrencies, freenet) are lighting the way forward.
Elon is a perfect example of a visionary immigrant who leveraged the environment and opportunities available only in a place like America to become a massive success. He’s now seeing both of those disappearing as the rest of the world takes us down. If we don’t win, America joins the cesspool of the rest of the world.
I mean... The internet currently is free as in liberty. Many of the individual sites one could choose to access may censor things, and that isn't going to change just because you switched to a hot new ISP.
And if you think that a satellite is going to hit you with enough energy to power up an RFID chip and send the reply back to space... fucking lol. Passive tags have a range of around 20 feet. And even if that were possible, you could just block the tracking with a Faraday cage around the chip.
If you were going to RFID track people you would just use terrestrial readers along roadways or something like that. Oh and RFID "chips" don't even use Internet connections.

Will they spread their liberal cancer to rural areas then?

That may be one way of looking at it.

If that's the case, people going to the big city are fucked.
They’ll still gawk at the idea of having to drive 15-20 minutes to get to the nearest grocery store though
Yeah as a rural dweller, I much prefer they stay in their "utopia".
Starlink is great opportunity to get fast internet in everywhere in the world.
Big question is: Connection to internet, but what kind of internet?... free or suppressed like it is right now.

Free? Elon isn't stupid. He won't give away access, and he'd be stupid if he did.
Starlink is the cash cow that is going to get Elon off this planet.
I don't want it to be "Free" as in beer, I want it to be "Free" as in Liberty

China without governmental internet censorship could be a game changer all on its own (if it happens)
