It's interesting that you post about 4chan as the harbinger of doom while also acknowledging it's downfall was it's lack of moderation. It's not a libertarian fantasy that the best products win market share.

Also, there's no way a Republic would survive with people saying that others have a "hideous hermaphroditical character, which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman." or that somebody is "a mean-spirited, low-lived fellow, the son of a half-breed Indian squaw, sired by a Virginia mulatto father."

No, we're much too thin-skinned for that.
