There are two types of people in this world: those who support free speech and dictators. There’s really not much in between. You might find some levels of apathy, but at the end of the day, no one takes kindly to being punished for the content of their words.
Conversely, those who favor brutal and totalitarian dictatorships love to shout down opposing ideas. They love to censor facts, data and science. They love to cow their opposition into silence. It’s the easiest way to retain power. If no one can speak freely, it’s a lot harder to challenge the failing ideas of the dictator.
In America, right now, you can see this clear delineation. On one side, we have people who relish in the concept of free speech and fight fervently for AOC’s right to still say stupid things. On the other side, you have a violent mob that wears masks while they attack journalists. There really is no in between.
The founding fathers did a great job of protecting the people of this country from government-led censorship. The problem they couldn’t foresee was a giant mob of angry, uneducated, easily manipulated Democrats taking matters into their own hands.
This video shows you how that mob operates. The speech they are silencing is not hateful. It was two tweets that contain unquestionably true facts — nothing more. Watch and see which side is truly full of tyrants.
