It's desperation. Even Trolls can see the writing on the wall. They aren't winning with their message, so the need to silence any dissent. It will only get worse.

Read? A number of places influence my opinion including watching/listening to both. There is big money in being anti-establishment, contrarians are like hippies except now their is a niche industry catering to them.
You don't have to ask repetitive questions if the person isn't avoiding the answers.
I think its lame that she was suspended and I certainly wouldn't support her being canceled. I'm not in favor of censorship regardless of where its coming from and don't believe in a "pound of flesh" mentality.
ABC News suspends 'The View' host Whoopi Goldberg
ABC News suspended "The View" host Whoopi Goldberg for two weeks on Tuesday night, hours after she apologized for having falsely declared on the daytime program that the Holocaust was "not about race."www.cnn.com
If we suspended someone every time they said something stupid, Joy Behar would never see the screen...oh wait, maybe I could be convinced that censorship is good. My wife hate watches the View, and then will show me the lowlights on occasion. I'm dumber from just watching the clips.

Big money? define big money.
Quit clinging to last year's messaging and propaganda. Science evolves, imagine that. There is big money (and power) in controlling/clinging to narratives.
1. Masks work - they really don't
2. Vaccines work, trust me - They kinda do but have quickly lost relevance
3. Lockdowns save lives - they don't, the opposite actually
4. Lab leak? no way - actually, likely
Thank goodness the american public has the ability to see multiple points of view and are able to make their own decisions.
I thought hippies were the original mainstream contrarians? Even they have evolved - it's hilarious.
I should add...or if evidence comes up that you lied the first time you answered the question.

Do you begrudge a man standing up for his and his families personal safety while Paul plays to the lunatic fringe?
“What happens when he gets out and accuses me of things that are completely untrue,” the top health official said, “is that kindles the crazies out there, and I have threats upon my life, harassment of my family and my children with obscene phone calls because people are lying about me.”

The "cure" can do more harm than the act. We need a lot more of the approach below and a lot less of canceling if we are ever going to overcome the divisiveness in our country.

We have already seen studies showing this.
There will be more to come.
People like dad...hardest hit.
There is one thing the study is wrong about. It did have a large impact...on business, peoples savings, and education.
In terms of stopping the spread and reducing deaths? Not so much.
Lockdowns in the U.S. and Europe had little or no impact in reducing deaths from COVID-19, according to a new analysis by researchers at Johns Hopkins University.
The lockdowns during the early phase of the pandemic in 2020 reduced COVID-19 mortality by about 0.2%, said the broad review of multiple scientific studies.
“We find no evidence that lockdowns, school closures, border closures, and limiting gatherings have had a noticeable effect on COVID-19 mortality,” the researchers wrote.

And they even mention COST/BENEFIT...who would have thought that was important? Bueller?
“Such a standard benefit-cost calculation leads to a strong conclusion: lockdowns should be rejected out of hand as a pandemic policy instrument,” the paper concluded.

And those same artists pulling their catalog at Spotify remain with Apple who does HUGE biz with the Chinese. The same ChiComs that have put millions into camps for re-education.
If you are going to stand on principle do it for the millions oppressed by a dictatorship.
Others should do the same. Lebron? NBA? etc.
You're confusing standing up for something with lying to avoid accountability.
So its Rand's fault that people are phoning in death threats? Who is responsible for the death threats to Tim Scott and other politicians from both sides of the aisle? You seem to be following the playbook of the left's victim mentality. You clearly illustrate it here and in your posts about your neighbor that was killed during the Jan 6 riot.

I am not for suspensions.
However since Whoopi and others on her side do advocate people being censored or shut down, they also should be forced to live by their own rules. Maybe once they realize the rules are silly we can move away from them.
We are so quick to be outraged and to silence and cancel, when we should be debating instead. Whoopi's and Rogan's comments would have been a perfect opportunity to do so.The "cure" can do more harm than the act. We need a lot more of the approach below and a lot less of canceling if we are ever going to overcome the divisiveness in our country.

Again this all comes out of the fear of an opposing opinion.
I understand your position but I was always taught "two wrongs don't make a right".

Swigging. It means to drink.
Swill means to wash with an excess of water. So, you might swill the KoolAid pitcher, but you would not swill the KoolAid itself.
Perhaps we can swig some iced tea and wring our laundry while pondering how people can think they are smarter than NIH and CDC, yet still have trouble with definitions of small words.
Swill also means "drink (something) greedily or in large quantities."
Can we add definition of "swill" to another thread with the definition of "varsity", ya know "Off-Topic: Definitions".
