My dad has a hostel in Choroni, Venezuela, I'm convincing him to accept BCH, I'm going to travel this week to create him a wallet and explain how to use it. I gotta take him to the future!
I think it took a certain type of people, at a certain time and place to make that breakthrough, if it is lost from the US I can not see it happening anywhere else in the near future.
@Kokansei, Freedom of speech is so radical in a historical context that it is hard to believe, same with the fact that individual rights are a new and precarious thing.
It is possible to try to address it by advocating for hospitality and letting people be free to associate and act even without personally endorsing their actions. No need to make it an arms race
The cycle can only be broken by protecting speech in absolute terms. That's why the US was a breakthrough in human history. But there is still room for improvement.
I am not saying that there is not oppression, in the sense that there will be a majority view that is not up for scrutiny, that is a human universal, to have the basic assumptions sacrilege.
But the antidote for that is not to create new groups with their own power dynamics that does counter oppression until it is a constant struggle between real or perceived groups.
