CDZ Free Speech Threatened by Censorship Extremists | Mercola.com

[surada]

The issue is this- when people are scared, they tend to trust authority figures.

Some of us are wise enough to see that it is the “authority figures” who are responsible for creating and promoting the fear, to increase their own power over us.

Right. That's the whole premise of MAGA.

I think you're saying that Trump was big on promoting fear, which I completely agree with.

Of course he promoted fear and only Trump could fix our dire situation.

 

[Pellinore]

Sooooo ... do we have a little bit of common ground here? Can we all agree that an American leader should not rely on generating fear in order to gain popular support?

Found an article published on Mercola.com today on the title subject, thought it was interesting. Always been a fan of civilized discussion, hoping we can get some going here on it. Here's their "story at a glance" version...

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

• A number of elected government officials are using their positions of power to pressure tech platforms into silencing voices of the opposition, or simply those whose speech they don’t agree with
• In less than a year, we’ve gone from massively censoring COVID-19 treatment information, the origin of the virus and COVID-19 vaccine information, to censoring election disputes and conservative news networks, to now calling for the censoring of climate information
• Censorship will continue to expand until all bases of human thought are covered. Our speech is the expression of our thoughts. To end free speech is to end the individual, which is the totalitarian end-game
• Twelve state attorneys general, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration — which recently warned me to stop writing about vitamin D for COVID-19 prevention — and elected officials in Congress who are calling for censorship are all breaking the law
• According to the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, “Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press …”

There are two types of people, those that are of God and those that are of Satan. The Democratic Party and its supporters belong to the latter. That includes Hollywood, mainstream media, social-media giants, and many major corporations.

For that support, the Democratic Party protects the market interests of companies such as AT&T (which owns CNN) and Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc., etc., etc. And for that protection, those corporations serve Democratic interests.

Of course, the big losers in all of this collusion are the American people. And if you haven't discovered this already, any responding leftists will demonstrate to you that none of them care about God or about freedom of expression or about truth or about their fellow man. No, all that matters to them is the party, namely, the Democratic Party.

Please read my signature which comes from Benito Mussolini. That tenet of Mussolini resonates with modern, American, leftists. The American left supports your individual "rights" only as long as those rights coincide with the interests of the party. Therefore, no leftists here will argue on behalf of the concept of freedom of expression.

There are indeed two types of people.

Those that think there are only two types of people, and everyone else.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

The doctrine of free speech concerns solely the relationship between government and those governed...

A point not in dispute. Try to stick to the topic.

Not to worry Trump says he'll have his own version of social media in 2-3 months.. like Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.. He's been kicked off all three because of January 6th.

Yes, he has been kicked off all three for the act of not suggesting to anybody that they storm the Capitol.

If this is not incontrovertible confirmation that these fascists are a danger to a free society, nothing is.

 

[K9Buck]

There are indeed two types of people. Those that think there are only two types of people, and everyone else.

There are those who are with God and there are those, like you, who are against God. That's it.

Media Bias Fact Check: Incompetent or Dishonest? - Just Facts

There are those who are with God and there are those, like you, who are against God. That's it.

How did we go from having a conversation about free speech on the internet to whether people are with or against God -.-?

 

[Bob Blaylock]

There are indeed two types of people.

Those that think there are only two types of people, and everyone else.

Actually, there are 10 kinds of people—Those who understand binary numbers, and those who do not.

 

[Donald H]

Twitter and Facebook are really a bunch of fascists,they ban trump supporters who are banned in a heartbeat if they mention they liked trump or even if you are not a trump supporter and you come on and just question if there was vote fraud,doctors have said as well they have been deplatformed st YouTube and have had all their videos deleted there for exposing the virus hoax, I plan on ordering that book the truth about covid 19.

I'm very interested in reading what you have to say, but just a kind word of warning.
When you string your thoughts together in long sentences like that one, you have destroyed any meaning you may have had. Could you perhaps write it again and separate your thoughts into proper sentences that would have more meaning?

The last sentence was fine and can be taken as an example of what could be expected.

 

[Donald H]

Actually, there are 10 kinds of people—Those who understand binary numbers, and those who do not.

You mean there are two kinds of people as it relates to understanding binary numbers.
But more correctly, there are those who understand and those who haven't taken the time to learn the simple concept.

Yes, that's what I said. 10 kinds of people, 10 being two in binary.

Yes, he has been kicked off all three for the act of not suggesting to anybody that they storm the Capitol.

All three being more effective brakes against the rise of a would-be fascist.

If this is not incontrovertible confirmation that these fascists are a danger to a free society, nothing is.

The power of the courts has never been an effective brake against the rise of a fascist. A prerequisite of a would-be fascist is a system in which he can effectively control the workings of the law. (Scotus and Barr)

How that does or does not relate to Trump, isn't the point.
or
With America's recent election, the law of the land didn't act to stop Trump, the people stopped him. The would-be fascist's attempt to grab power was nothing but a comedy routine, as compared to the definitive revolutionary tactics of Comrad Che or Comrad Fidel. Contrast to mr. dressup in furs and cow horns with his feet up on Nancy's desk!

And then after the fact of the election, there were attempts by Trump to claim victory that called upon the law to have stopped. The law could never survive a turn to fascism but did survive, albeit not unscathed, the failed attempt at fascism.

Let's see here - Trump has been advocating that people have MORE rights and freedoms. This, as opposed to Democrats eliminating the right of assembly, taking aim on freedom of speech, working directly with technocrats to reduce economic opportunity, governing exclusively by decree, micromanaging people's lives down to the iota, and working so fervently on various machinations to create one party rule.

A person would have to be INCREDIBLY stupid to claim it is actually Trump who has acted in fascist ways.

 

[Donald H]

Let's see here - Trump has been advocating that people have MORE rights and freedoms.

And they stole the election from Trump too!

So you say. It's so easy to say that the other side's source is bogus and leave it at that. Much harder is to actually look at the source and cite specific flaws. The former leads to an end to the conversation, the latter can lead to a productive conversation.

You're citing political opinion pieces from an antivaxer blog.

Can we at least pretend to be serious, please?
