To that list, universities should be added. Some are a vital cog in the censorship machine.
Mollie@MZHemingway
The censorship regime -- a conspiracy of government, large corporations, and the media -- is an unspeakably massive threat to civilization.

Don't credit a strong centralized state for inventing capitalism. Credit the Dutch merchants, laborers, sailors, whalers, and brewers, all led by an invisible hand. reason.com/2023/06/17/how… via @reason

Deposit insurance is like quicksand: once governments step into it, they just end up getting in deeper, and deeper. The failures Dan mentions in his first tweet have themselves been blamed on Canada's decision to start ensuring bank deposits in 1967. 1/2

Two lockdown facts:
1. Lockdowns happened because the laptop class thought it could isolate itself from society without facing economic harm.
2. Lockdowns failed because societies are deeply unequal and needed the essential working class to keep society going.
