As great as free speech is, I don't think western political systems will survive it if it's not accompanied by transparency and accountability. Humans are hard wired to perceive their environments as local. They are not local anymore. The bar of plausible deniability has sunk two inches into the mud we stand on for any dumbass political justification.

I don't want restrictions on free speech, but I also feel absolutely screwed by the way society functions right now.



Sorry, but both "transparency" and "accountability" are considered censorship now.


I think that you are confused. If anything it is the lack of transparency that is closer to censorship.


I'm being censored for my facetious, low quality comment!
