Right here, except that this forum is heavily censored
Anything that is against the norm is easily flagged. So can't talk about it at all. Everyday I am witnessing massive wealth transfer. If I am aware, pretty sure there are lot of others too. Just want to know how others are thinking about it. Because I foresee our life changing massively in 2-3 years from now on.

#13Here's what you should do if you're serious about free speech online: Start your own website. Run it under a pseudonym. Host it on Nearly Free Speech. Ignore all SEO advice, and disallow all crawlers in robots.txt. You might not get any human readers, but you aren't likely to get censored.
Otherwise, posting on 4chan is an option if you don't mind having racial or homophobic slurs hurled at you by poorly socialized adolescents who think too highly of themselves. And there's always Substack; if they can tolerate avowed neo-Nazis like Richard Spencer and white supremacists like Richard Hanania, they can probably tolerate you.
Just remember that if you frequent a Nazi bar like Substack or X, people will assume that you're a Nazi.

Yeah but even if I go and post there, it will be downvoted because of how ridiculous and controversial it is. People can't digest it.

#16It is a fascinating sociological experiment, though frustratingly inconsistent. I have had deep and worthy conversations in the odd hours on breadths of topics.
Everything now is probably dead though a million people share your call for social-political forum.
Good luck finding it!

#17Probably among people that are so civilized that you may never encounter a whole crowd of them. Either that or ironically among some kind of . . like . . minded . . . people . . .
