Why They Want To Censor You

ASTORIA, NYC- I recently published a post about what could be called the anti-freedom, neo-authoritarian, etc movement in the USA. It started when someone I know was offended by a tattoo that I have that says “freedom,” associating it with conservative politics:

I was confused for a moment. I actually received the tattoo when I was a far-left teenage anarchist and I never thought of freedom as being a politically polarized concept. Doesn’t everyone, regardless of ideological affiliation, like freedom?

No, no they don’t.

their entire ideology relies upon suppressing dissenting views and being the only one talking in order to make itself seem like a legitimate majority when the fact of the matter is that is it neither.

and that’s about to become crystal clear.

this whole movement is predicated on no one being allowed to question it. it simply defines its own core salients as “non-interrogatable” and then demands to deconstruct all else in a game of “punch no punchbacks” that is critical to its survival because if there is one thing that woke cannot do, it’s take a punch.

The viewpoints of the anti-freedom movement, woke, whatever you want to call it are generally baseless — they often don’t hold up to the scrutiny of science, logic, or even common sense. Positions such as men can get pregnant, that there is a such thing as a female penis, and that anyone can be a women are difficult to defend if the person you’re talking with isn’t drinking the kool-aid. As were Covid policies such as masks, social distancing, and lockdowns … So rather than risking public debate where they would more than likely come out on the losing end, they seek to go upstream and simply turn off the torrent of contending viewpoints. To escape having to defend their positions, define their terms, or even at a basic level explain the reasoning behind what it is they want all of society to walk in step with, they censor, de-platform, and cancel.

The anti-free speech movement is essentially a form of ideologically self-preservation.

It many ways, it’s like a faith. You either believe it or you don’t … and if you don’t believe it you are the enemy and need to be excommunicated, gagged and bound, burned at the stake. In order to survive, undefendable positions need to be elevated above debate, and the only way to do this is to restrict the freedoms of those who disagree make dissent the hallmark of the Bad Guy.
