I see the increasing vitriol from progressive statistas, e.g. beatification of Hogg and trashing of Ingraham as a symptom of their increasing desperation:
Nolte: Media Seek to Destroy Laura Ingraham Only Because She’s a Conservative Woman

The Intellectual Dark Web has emerged in response to the ham-fisted application of censorship by Google, Twitter, Facebook, Youtube which is intermittently being put into place removed, put back into place in an attempt to squelch ideas not condoned by Political Correctness, Post Modernism, identity politics. The intellectual dark web is a loose group of individuals from a wide range of the political / cultural / religious spectrums who have united in fighting against authoritarianism / statism and the increasingly repugnant antics of Antifa, BLM, snowflakes.

Their central meme is the importance of true free speech without which we cannot think or reason or have civilized debate.

The intellectual dark web is supported by individual subscribers as compared to the branches of the MSM with its cozy relationship to international corporate, international finance, and the Swamp, i,e, those who would return us to the status of serfs in the Middle Ages.

"A few months ago, Eric Weinstein came up with the phrase 'Intellectual Dark Web' to describe this eclectic mix of people from Harris to Shapiro to Weinstein to Petersen, who are figuring out ways to have the important and often dangerous conversations that are completely ignored by the mainstream."
