As Democrat-allied media institutions make the case for more sweeping censorship online, independent media platforms that support free speech represent the last line of defense.
I appreciate and totally support the call for--the existential necessity of--a free and open discussion of ideas without the outright or softer forms of censorship. I did, however, lose interest in this piece as soon as it lapsed into the now-too-familiar "Democrats bad, Democrats leftist" trope.
I fail to see how a party that is steadfast in its support of capitalism, Zionism, military adventurism, corporate control of planetary resources and human life, the PIC, big ag, big pharma, big oil, etc etc etc can be called "leftist" with a straight face. That's just nonsense. Take the social wedge issues out (there by design to keep the hoi palloi at war with each other instead of the oligarchs) and there's really very little daylight between the duopoly parties.
you need to stop being stopped by things you can't intellectually process. Try harder. This isn't about LEFT RIGHT nonsense. This is about "WHO IS CREATING THIS" - we are all just doing our best to accurately define the enemy and using intelligent observation and reason to draw some WORKING CONCLUSIONS.
Who is creating this has nothing to do "left" or "right," and that is essentially my point. I don't have to "try harder" to understand qui bene in our current political system. And you likely ain't him any more than I am.
Absolutely. The internet is a disruptive and destabilizing information tool, much like the printing press. Back in the 16th century, the Catholic Church outlawed the press in many areas of Europe because it became a tool to spread information by reformers like Luther. The Catholic Church lost its information gatekeeping function and power. It reacted to this with repression and force. The same thing is happening with the regime media today and they are reacting in the same way. Their efforts will be just as fruitless as it was 400 years ago. The scribes of today will become just as irrelevant as the scribes who were displaced by the printing press.
