The space antiwar Quorum proposal

For months, I've really wanted to create a dedicated antiwar space on Quora, especially with the left-wing domination of antiwar rhetoric and the lack of any right-wing and libertarian antiwar voice, and a space where Israel can be given a strong criticism instead of focusing on Palestine or some mild criticism from Noam Chomsky. 
Specifically, I wanted a space to share content from this list of antiwar sites.

There is really no right-wing or even centrist or non-partisan anti-war space on Quora. There are three libertarian spaces, Liberty at LargeLibertarian Writers' Blog and Liberty's Largess, but none are dedicated antiwar spaces, and on the 1st one, I was told to refrain from talking about Israel (I guess they did not want to talk about Israel and can not take the heat from the topic). I was also bogged down with school work and was in no mood to moderate a space until now, where I have more free time.


I have thought about applying and creating my own space.

However, I am concerned that because my political views are to the right of the typical silicon valley millennial (even though I am not far right or even a conservative), and because of information I show relating to Israel and how harsh I am in criticizing the Israeli State's actions, even though it was never about hating Jewish people as a hole or even painting Israelis as being irredeemably evil (I do not believe that most Israelis are irredeemably evil people, and I believe that most Jewish people in this world are not in some conspiracy to take over the world).

If Quora moderation looks at my profile, Kriss Ite, there is a risk of it being deleted, and me being banned from the site, 214 answers deleted, all of my posts deleted, and me being cut off from 55 followers and easily forgotten by everyone.

When I was being censored, no one, and I mean no one, stood up for me. I'm a nobody on the site.

2019 was a bad year on social media. Google+ was shut down, Ryan Dawson faced censorship multiple times to the point where he put his videos into private in order to avoid getting banned, and Quora discontinued blogs and replaced them with spaces that you have to apply to get, which is essentially asking permission. The last case reminded me of the title of the novel "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream".

I'm planning on having someone else do the application, and then inviting me to become an admin.
