How the Kids Online Safety Act puts us all at risk

Anti-speech laws are spreading from states to Congress, and the future of online speech could hang in the balance

“Protect the children” only from the things we deem bad. If they are homeless, hungry, live with parents who struggle to put food on the table? “Nah, they need to pull themselves by their bootstraps” I hate the GOP with a burning passion
They’re just garbage people. I don’t understand why they are so angry and hateful.
That’s a mystery that we will forever chase.
It’s all they have. They’ve got anger and hate, and nothing else.
Well that’s not entirely true. A small percentage of them also has way too much stolen/hoarded money.

As it was established by Nixon’s Southern Strategy it’s totally about preserving power (which they use for the highest bidders). Anger and hate keeps their base voting for them.

But their base is fickle, which is now Donald Trump seized the 2016 Republican Primary from everyone else. And while Trump is facing all his indictments and other player like DeSantis vie to take his place, that base will eventually find another Secret Hitler to fall behind.

Misery. Industrialized hate for profit.

Cult leaders have weaponized this pain for their own power and profit.They lie to them, tell them it’s not their fault, and to blame their failures on [insert latest convenient target]. They will fix everything if they just get more [power/money]. They distract from the unacceptable truth that it is their own actions that have led to their misery (including continued voting for failed policies that only benefit power/wealth).
