• The loss of free speech

    From Jeff Squires@1:120/457 to All on Monday, March 22, 2021 16:54:48
    Whether you are on the left, right or middle what has set this country apart from other countries is free speech. If you have Amazon Prime I can't implore you enough to watch the film "No Safe Spaces". It stars Dennis Prager and Adam Carolla. It documents what is happening to free speech on our college campuses and now the wider public. Where colleges were once the space where all ideas where heard and debated they are now have become a place of censorship and mob rule.

    Hello Jeff,


    Whether you are on the left, right or middle what has set this country apart
    from other countries is free speech.

    Free speech? Under Jim Crow? You gotta be kiddin' me.

    What this country has is "limited" free speech. Which is really
    not free speech at all.

    a. It documents what is happening to free speech on our college campuses and no
    the wider public. Where colleges were once the space where all ideas where hea
    d and debated they are now have become a place of censorship and mob rule.

    There are people my age and somewhat younger who believe that there is no "cancel culture" and that none of this censorship really exists. I use "believe" loosely here... some may really believe it, while others act as
    if they believe that as a tool for telling people it is nothing to worry
    about becase, like antifa, it doesn't exist and you are stupid to think
    that it does.
