Unfiltered Truth & The Futility of Censorship

Censorship has long been a tool of those in power, used to suppress dissent and control narratives. In today’s digital age this tactic is not only ineffective but also counterproductive. The rise of social media has given a voice to anyone with an internet connection, allowing people to hear multiple perspectives on any given issue. While this has created a lot of noise, it has also expanded the marketplace of ideas. Just because some ideas are silly, bad, or outright wrong does not mean we should censor them. As Elon Musk humorously pointed out, parody is a protected form of expression under the First Amendment, and attempting to censor it only serves to undermine the principles of free speech.

Why I'm Voting for Donald Trump

This year's election is significant for me as it marks the first time I will cast a vote for President of The United States. I graduated high school in 2016 and college in 2020. Now, in 2024, I'll be exercising my right to vote in a system designed for the people, by the people. Previously, I refrained from voting because I didn't view either side as less evil. Politics is often characterized by partisan hostility, with both sides engaging in relentless attacks on their opponents. This adversarial approach to politics left me feeling disillusioned, as if the choices presented to voters were merely variations of the same flawed system.
