Current Events Free Speech

It really does make

me laugh! Bitterly.

I have uploaded photos to X (Twitter) many times. NO problems. But when I tried to upload THIS one:

it wouldn’t let me. It just said that something went wrong. No further explanation. It just wouldn’t do it. And there was NO problem with other sites such as Gab and MeWe. Fishy…

Maybe Elon Musk is a “free speech absolutist,” but SOMEBODY there sure isn’t! I very much doubt it went all the way to Musk, but still…

Now I can just hear the Lefty defenders pompously claim that there’s just a bug and it really isn’t suppression at all–just a “glitch” and that I am just paranoid. Or that it’s actually all my fault and I’m just not doing it right. Or something like that.

Yeah, maybe. But it sure is mighty convenient for the Left!

fight back, you win. But the government (Biden) is no friend of freedom.

The value of Musk

allowing more free speech on Twitter goes WAY beyond his own platform. Because of his commitment to openness, other sites are going to have to loosen up just a bit–or become an open (as opposed to covert, as they have been) shill for the Left. It puts them in a bind and rips off their mask of impartiality.

So it’s not just that Twitter is more free. It’s that ALL platforms now have to at least grudgingly give a little ground to free speech. I mean, do you think they won’t hear, “What’s the big deal? I can bring this subject up on Twitter!” Any squelching of free speech will now show in high relief.

People who chafe under the draconian Speech Stalinism™ of other platforms will flee to the freedom of Twitter. And now that there has been some freedom, the toothpaste of falsehood and tyranny is out of the tube–it can’t be jammed back in. Ask the former USSR.

In other words, it forces those others to drop the mask and changes the culture. A bit.

Kinda funny

how free speech has turned into a conservative value.

But it has. It is Lefties who refuse to debate (even here on this site!). It is Lefties who just can’t tolerate an opposing position. It is Lefties who are violent when faced with views other than their own. It is Lefties who run away rather than stand for what they believe. It is Lefties who literally know nothing about the world unless they suck it off the teat of the great Lefty mama of the fever swamps.

And it is Lefties who will shout a speaker down rather than let the speaker say something they disagree with. It just reeks of weakness, of fear! The plain fact of the matter is that FREE speech is anathema to Leftists.

THAT is why they hate comedy of all stripes. Of course, Leftists are famously NOT funny people. The world’s smallest book may be,”The Complete Collection of Great German and Russian Humor.”

I just think

it is no longer wise to send your kids to public schools, if you can help it. Times are different, now. They don’t seem to value free expression at all. And I’m too much of an old Punker to go down THAT dark path.

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” Twitter CEO Elon Musk stated that the anti-meritocratic and anti-free speech aspects of “the woke mind virus” are dangerous to society and that the “woke mind virus” is due to “the amount of indoctrination that’s happening in schools and universities” that is “far beyond what parents realize.”

… Musk added, “I really can’t emphasize this enough, we must protect free speech. And free speech only matters — it’s only relevant when it’s someone you don’t like saying something you don’t like. Because, obviously, speech that you like, that’s easy. So, it’s — and it’s — the thing about censorship is that, for those who would advocate it, just remember, at some point, that will be turned on you.” [emphasis added]

If you don’t

believe in Free Speech for those with whom you disagree, you don’t actually believe in free speech…

Despotism Free Speech

The Left:

“We hates free speech!“

Are ALL Lefties despots? No. But despotism is not a dealbreaker for them, either.

The FACT that all the nascent, evil despots are spittle-lipped about this is a sure sign that it is the right call.
