Thanks Dissident,best logic ever: “Goebels was in favor of free speech for views he liked. So was Stalin. If you’re really in favor of free speech, then you’re in favor of freedom of speech for precisely the views you despise. Otherwise, you’re not in favor of free speech.”
The rot is so deep in our government and ordinary Americans don't know how to fix it. If we vote for Dems, we're sunk. If we vote for GOP they're all talk but tied to same corruption. Independent candidates haven't a chance. I've voted for all of the above in my life. The biggest issue of all is the media did not do its job
They have some seriously dangerous views on a number of things, like packing the Supreme Court, ending the filibuster, making a small city and a Caribbean island states, spying on us citizens and censoring free speech
Sadly, the political culture of Patrick Henry I Disapprove of What You Say, But I Will Defend to the Death Your Right to Say It I’d dead in America. Brought on by Raygun’s elimination of the FCCs Fairness Doctrine and Clinton’s elimination of anti-trust against corporate media allowing an oligopoly of 5 corporations controlling news in the US. Welcome to 1984 from both political parties of the same double headed hydra. Just what the owners of America want.
Of course, Republicans are just as bad, which the author mentioned. The authoritarianism of the Democrats is more disturbing to leftists because we used to see them as the lesser evil. We never expected much from the Republicans who've been more authoritarian for many decades. That the Democrats are just as bad on issues of free speech is something many folks didn't expect.
You call US dissidents "a bunch of babies" because we want to preserve our constitutional right to criticize our government? You think it's a sign of maturity to accept government control of speech- How so?
"Nobody wants anyone else to have it." -that's the opposite of what the author expressed. He quotes Noam Chomsky, “If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all.”

The media is doing its job, to be the mouthpiece of the owners of America.
