On this episode of The Mark Moss Show, we embark on a captivating journey through time, analyzing how wars have often paved the way for restrictive policies and eroded civil liberties. Starting with the Sedition Act of 1918 amidst the backdrop of World War I, we trace the intricate relationship between warfare and censorship, leading to the recent developments in the Israel/Palestine conflict. But just when you think "this could never happen in America," we delve deep into the implications of the Patriot Act, a piece of legislation from the war on terror era that continues to resonate today. Join us to uncover the cyclical nature of history, the use of fear as a weapon against freedoms, and a clarion call to defend democracy in the digital age.
