Censorship and masks are precisely the same instinct: the desire to separate us from each other.

There are two possibilities for human interaction: cooperation or conflict. When we choose to engage with each other, we approach disagreement and danger together, using discussion and debate to find a the best way forward we can agree on. When we choose to fight each other, we approach disagreement by dismissing the "other" as "illegitimate", and we approach danger by forcing "solutions" on those who disagree.

Which are the elites choosing now?
