Jim called out my "ambiguous" sounding position on the pro-Hamas protests, as if he wants me to come out in full support of the protestors' right to free speech, and I've been holding back just a bit. Here's why.
For decades now, the major institutions influencing public opinion (media and education), and more importantly, the development of ideology in our children, have been taken over by neo-Marxist anti-Americans. These protestors are mostly young people, as usual; brains not fully developed, no adult life experience, think they know everything, but have not been exposed to a wide range of ideas.
For years now, ramping up hard recently, these institutions have censored speech, not from these neo-Marxists (aka the left) but from the right and from anything upholding the ideals of our founding fathers (such as the Constitution). Conservative speakers are banned from campus. Mainstream media is now openly just a propaganda arm for the Democrats, and social media we now know is infiltrated by federal agencies controlling who is allowed to speak freely. Political speech is not the only speech censored, we have scientists blacklisted and censored for speaking truthfully about climate change or covid.
There IS NO free speech in America anymore. So now all of a sudden I'm supposed to defend a bunch of brats siding with terrorists and shouting threats at our very nation? Where's the call to support all the above, censored everywhere except X and a few alternative platforms?
The issue is not we need to allow pro-Palestinian speech; that is a subset of speech and openly allowed and supported. Any countering subsets are suppressed, and that is apparently acceptable. We have destroyed free speech in America. Those protests aren't free speech; they are what is allowed to be said by the puppet masters.
Free speech must apply to everyone and all points of view or it isn't free speech at all. What is allowed simply becomes the rantings of a properly brainwashed set of minions.
