This is where liberty fails us. Free market philosophies clearly have major problems. I fully support the right of businesses to decide who they will serve and under what terms they will serve them, but that ideal must be balanced with the reality that if left unchecked it will result in totalitarianism.
Liberty only works when everyone values liberty. Since not everyone does, restrictions are necessary to prevent totalitarianism from arising. The situation now is so dire that drastic steps are needed to prevent Western values from dying out permanently.
It's this idiotic idea that if one door closes, everyone just rushes to the next door.
"If Twitter shuts down, I'll just go to Parler" Parler gets shut down
"Parler gets shut down, I'll just go to Gab" wait for it.....
You HAVE to stop playing the defensive.
