Living Under Communism


This is from Pocketnet but so true thought it worth sharing here:

When I lived in ussr, there were no freedom of speech, everyone was communicating innuendo style. Here in USA, with all these Facebook, twitter youtube and other shit channels, everyone is speaking exactly as I remember, innuendo style. How fast shitheads learned to live in communist society.

Well, I would say, unfortunately, not fast enough.
The "innuendo style" is practically unstoppable with zombies and AI.
It helps make and keep minds agile and independent.
And it usually outlasts the regimes it is developed to resist.
The moral with "freedom of speech", I am afraid, is much like with
many things -- those who have more of them know less well how to get
them than those who have less of them.
