A public square that is owned by a corporation isn't a public square, it's a mall.

Yes. Capitalism is such a bad idea….😵💫

What if it's a privately own square open to public?
L'est devenu au fur des siècles
they can kick you out if they don't like what you are saying
so it's not actually public it's a propaganda outlet for the owners
always and everywhere
one of the radical things about nostr is that a true public square has arguably *never* existed
what a time to be alive
modern system n generation want FREE STUFF which they pay INDIRECTLY - Revenue has come from either physical or virtual
TAX -> public park
AD / BIZ PROFIT -> MALL
TIERED MEMBER FEE - > Public Private CLUB / Garden
Private malls are more welcoming to the public than many public malls, which are more frequently surrounded with barbed wire fencing these days.
a public square is a prison yard. it is needed because the rest of the area is inhuman.

I think that there should be many squares - many should be local to geography, interests, etc. Freedom of association is involved in choices. Describing a public square as an idea - is never what it is in reality. Allot of what Musk and others are from the point of view - self determination is a right of communities, localities or those who are effected - I think ways to resolve conflicts is important, but having imposing same on everyone - because 100,000,000 people voted one way or another; truth is for people to live in democracy - local determination is essential; groups who want to control others resources, decisions, or freedoms are inherently abusive. Political parties are a prime example of this. Musk is driven by books he read as a child, something's insightful others - humanity would survive if not ruled by a centralized galactic core - a very driven person. I would like to see expand, explore, etc .. Socialist think that they know best for everyone, I believe in private ownership local control, using technology to break interdepence - not making dependence a freeman has a plow and a mule, others have nothing and work for someone who has a monopoly of resources and power or a state which has a monopoly on resources and power. I like some of Jack's and Musk's ideas but as individuals and communities we need to think deeper and know reality is very unforgiving but can be very rewarding.
Can someone get RFK on nostr and all "smaller platforms" I think it would be a coup against the neocons and would drive them bonkers ... @jack #jack #RFK and #politics

...smells like caramel corn.
And malls are emptying out
I think about this often.
