The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I think until/unless we can quickly enforce some objectivity in whatever Joe Sixpack hears every day, we’re in for a period of fascism. If not this election, then it will be one - soon- orchestrated by someone smarter/savvier. He’s out there watching & learning as I type.

I’m not sure what to do about it that seems possible in our existing framework of SCOTUS, the EC, Citizens United, and protected irresponsibility of internet providers, but I think widespread civil disobedience will be a place to start.


So in an effort to prevent "a period of fascism" you want to...restrict others' 1st Amendment rights?

And do it through "widespread civil disobedience"?

How's that going to work? Gonna forcibly muzzle a bunch of Americans?

I wouldn't even think about it, were I the left.
