If Only some courageous members of the Illiberal Left would bother to read Victor Davis Hanson or see him on any number of Fox shows – maybe sanity would begin to replace their smug Group Think that is simply destroying America’s 1st Amendment and free speech. A recent article VDH concludes: “Past and present, all of these zealots and character assassins cloaked their intolerance in the pretense that they were advancing truth — by destroying it.”
Nice that he actually used the term “illiberal” in his article because as I have said many times, there is absolutely NOTHING Liberal about modern “illiberal locusts of the left”. Liberal would indicate they would want MORE not less free speech. Indeed, as VDH noted, a half-century ago, they pushed the envelope with nudity, perversity in speech and every way. But as disturbing as their version of free speech was then, they are infinitely more dangerous today. Literally, they are a plague on this country and the Western world. Cloaked in their various echo chambers – they’re bred in the Marxist petri dish of Democrat Socialist Government schools – reinforced in the Group think of Social and Mainstream media – and now they’re on the cusp of turning the entire country into a one party tyrannical state like the People’s Republic of California.
Like all fascists, and make no mistake, a one party Marxist state whether it was the former USSR, Mao’s China, or present day Communist China – when you live in a place where the govt and its media controls what speech is allowed and what speech is not – you are living in a fascist state. So naturally, one of the prime para-military militias of our new Democrat Socialist State is called Antifa – “anti-fascist” – which isn’t lost on those of us who actually have read 1984 or Animal Farm. War is Peace. Good is Bad…etc. Some pigs are more equal than other pigs…to paraphrase.
The USSR had its “Pravda” – the truth. Today, the illiberal locusts of left have virtually the entire mainstream media and social media doing their bidding. When the party sends out a directive, you can hear it repeated over and over by their willing drones on virtually all of the network news shows, Bezo’s Washington Post and NY Times, as well as all the has been actors in Hollywood who want to get noticed again. And when we have a conservative make an argument they cannot counter with facts, they’ll simply censor it on social media and then expect the guilty party to be doxed, cancelled or threatened with a loss of job or income to shut them up. Yes, the American Pravda is smug and all knowing and if you don’t march in lock step with the party line – they’ll censor or destroy you. So much for free speech in the age of the illiberal locusts of the left.
