Rephrased: a panel of disgraced liars, crazed liars, and professional liars. American society, led by the born liars who call themselves politicians, is now as corrupt as any on earth, small wonder they support censorship.

The collective inability of these scoundrels to understand why free speech is essential is itself evidence of its essentiality, for the Founders understood free speech to be as unnatural to mankind as it was essential to the artificial environment created by the Constitution. They understood that this new nation, with a revolutionary goal, required protection from the usual suspects: scheming despots (e.g. Biden’s puppeteers), fashionable idiocies (e.g. the idiot-savants at Facebook, Google, etc.), and the easily corralled herd (e.g. liberal arts students).

The discomfort, anger, and disgust we experience when exposed to offensive speech/material is a response selected by nature to promote tribal unity, a tried-and-true natural form of censorship. And had the Founders intended for this nation to be like all others speech would have remained subject to control. But because they wanted something more for America, because they desired to protect its people from the worst of their natural inclinations, they constructed a document designed to counter those evils and free the people to create a more perfect society (one that became the envy of the world by freeing its people to capitalize on their natural gifts, including their Bright Privilege).

That censoring a person, group, or belief can feel righteous is hardly surprising, but that doesn’t make it noble or any less destructive when done for nefarious purposes. We are quite capable of keeping society safe via the promotion of decency and shared values, the use of persona and public shaming, and, for those who turn their free speech into lawbreaking, incarceration. This truth exposes the true goal of the pro-censorship movement not as societal betterment but as the acquisition of unbridled power, which takes us right back to what the Founders had hoped to leave behind in England.

Question: How long before that dweeb Zuckerberg starts referring to Facebook members at his serfs?

Goodness I thought the boomers were sellouts.
