Soft Vs Hard Forms Of Censorship | When Free Speech Markets Aren't Free

Have you ever felt that you're being censored with what you can say? In Episode #395 of 'Musings', Juan & I discuss: do humans need protection from the truth, the actual realities of whether censorship works, how physical punishments/threats is much different from abiding by rules and social norms, the link between social media companies and government, examples of Roosh V & Julian Assange, Juan's practicality predicament and why we remain sponsor/advertisement free to remain free from censorship. Shoutouts to Dave Jones, Bun, Petar, McIntosh (from Generation Bitcoin) and Cole McCormick (from America+). Much appreciation to everyone supporting via streaming as well!
