Is the current push against free speech online the modern day prohibition era?

If you replace "drinking beer and liquor" with "typing nigger and faggot" it seems oddly similar.

Never have I seen a better commercial for liquor.

Prohibition lasted 14 years, then was reversed. For the sake of argument let's put the starting point modern censorship online at gamergate 4ish years ago. In another decade or so will they give up trying to close down every back alley message board and chatroom that dares let their patrons speak their mind?

Yes. except this time, the ones pushing it the most would rather take a hammer to the wrist than say one positive thing about Christians or White people.

That being the case who/where are the modern version of prohibition gangsters rebelling against them?

Prohibition is a good thing. Liqueur lasted longer than wheat and corn and meat prior to refrigeration, so there was a huge financial incentive for farmers to make alcohol with the surplus harvest they collected.

You're comparing a political movement that targeted the government to abolish alcohol with laws to a social movement pressuring non-government institutions.

A subset of the population (mostly women) are publicly promoting the idea that other people (mostly men) should not be allowed to engage in an activity they enjoy and are pressuring the government to step in and heavily regulate the places they engage in said activity.

Instead of raiding bars and smashing liquor barrels they are raiding websites and shutting down servers.

It has about the same effect. Its carried out by another group who lack self awareness and don't respect liberty. And their actions only serve to benefit the elite, and bring a control on the lower classes that the upper classes think they themselves don't need.

(When I say elite, I don't mean Jews. I mean rich people in whatever industry or position of influence and authority. I refuse to buy into the Jewish conspiracy thinking thats apparently popular in these parts)

Not to derail my own thread but start paying attention the "elites' last names. I used to have the same outlook about the "duh joos" here but after humoring the idea it turns out Jow Forums was right again. A disproportionate amount of "Steins" and "Bergs" seem to be elites.
