What is the internet for .....

....if not to be NOT like "the Emperor", cloaking oneself in "garments" of false fronts and imagery, but instead to freely expose oneself candidly to the world?

But with the threats of censorship (or the potential thereof) a lot of folks are stifling their innermost thoughts, reactions, and viewpoints, opting instead to resign themselves to repeating trendy platitudes and mantras, thus rendering their offerings no better than what one would normally expect from the types who exist solely to represent whatever "shadow government" faction they identify with (race, academic, political affiliation, social class, gender, religion, cultural/sub-cultural, sexual orientation) instead of being a unique one-of-a-kind individual

....becoming indistinguishable in the process.
