Remember when the left used to be for ‘an exchange of ideas’ and ‘diverse points of view’ and claimed ‘I may not agree with what you say but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it’?
The left hasn’t changed their view of opposing ideas, it’s just stopped lying about their actual beliefs about other points of view.
“We need to have a dialogue about” whatever… “We need to talk about this”… “Americans need to have an honest debate about” whatever…
What a joke. The left’s idea of debate: “Agree with our position completely, or we’ll label you a racist/sexist/homophobe and demand that you be shunned or we’ll label THOSE people racist/sexist/homophobic.”
The point isn’t about this guy being right or wrong, sexist or not. The point is creating an environment of fear (another old boogieman of the left) that silences dissent. That’s the left’s goal in America, and always has been.
The line I keep reading about this case is that it’s not censorship because Google is a private company; this, too, is an attempt to silence discussion. The issue is whether the expression of objectionable words and opinions — not actions, not actual attacks on actual people, not criminal acts — are things we should be punishing.
The left wants control of the narrative. They’ve had that in America for a long time. That’s changing, and they’re terrified.
