Not only do people love to follow the crowd even when going over a cliff, but they also love to hate and abuse those who do not join them. This is hard to take especially when you're trying to tell them they're going over a cliff.
This represents the tension of collectivism versus individualism. As we continue to move into a globalized technological society requiring the algorithmic monitoring and control of its standardized human digital assets, personal freedom will be criminalized.
In France, for example, a recent (February 14, 2024) law was passed that provides a $50,000 fine and 3 years in jail for speaking against the vaxx - to wit: a new crime of “provocation to abstain from medical care.”
….and here in Canada we have our govt hoping to pass Bill C-63 “the on line harms act”… I have no words…. (Probably just as well as I may end up in prison):
Online Harms Act introduced in the House of Commons on February 26 will significantly hamper constitutionally-protected expression. Among other effects:
The Bill would create a new process for Canadians to report instances of online speech directed at them is discriminatory, with a quasi-judicial tribunal ordering fines up to $50,000, and up to $20,000 paid to complainants, who in some cases would remain anonymous. Findings would be based on a mere “balance of probabilities” standard rather than the criminal standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt;
The Bill would increase the maximum sentence for “advocating genocide” from five years in prison to life in prison. That means words alone could lead to life imprisonment;
The Bill would allow judges to put prior restraints on people who they believe on reasonable grounds may commit speech crimes in the future;
The Bill would require social media companies to “minimize the risk that users of the service will be exposed to harmful content” with the threat of massive fines if they don’t properly mitigate the risk; &
The mere threat of human rights complaints and fines for Canadians and social media companies will chill large amounts of otherwise protected speech.

Wow, I didn't know about that French law.
And after all of the shot failure!

How intoxicating it is to hate those who disagree with you.
