Maybe we just need to stop quitting and capitulating, and commit to our liberty and self-determination. Prior generations committed their 'lives, fortunes, and honor'. We just need to fix social media, which will take an activated society.

I think you hit the nail on the head with this.

We don't have honor as a social parameter any longer, so lives and fortunes lack the oomph of honor.

Granted, we also avoid the historically evinced drawbacks of honor-based societies, but we seem to have thrown the baby out with the bathwater.
