Censorship by big tech at the behest of the U.S. government?

While I agree it's horrific, I would urge you to reconsider whether or not people who supported such policies were monsters.

That's exactly the dehumanizing language that was used about people who were skeptical of lockdowns and other dissidents.

I think they were normal people who were overcome with fear and placed too much trust in authority. Weak-minded, perhaps, but that doesn't make them monsters.

It’s called the banality of evil. Monsters don’t have green fur and big teeth. They are ordinary people carrying out devastating policies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eichmann_in_Jerusalem
