Today in Fascism

So like with the everyone should have a gun of any type everyone should be able to say whatever they like? Dominic has had his say on that in here. His ball, his game, his rules, agree, comply or goodbye. Same goes for any other private forum or platform. Not a hard concept to grasp really.

And as usual you miss the points again.

First off the interesting part is the calls for suppression, more restrictions, etc today come from the left. The curbs on speech have almost exclusively come from the left over the recent years. That is rather chilling.

Second off if Dominic kicks you off, that doesn't have an affect on the nations public discourse. Twitter, FB, etc have that power.


"But it should still make us uncomfortable that the choices of a handful of unelected technology executives have so much influence on public discourse."

Who Should Make the Online Rules?
A handful of unelected tech executives have tremendous influence on public discourse. Is that right?

So if your business gets 100 customers a day the rules are different than if you get 10,000,000? Interesting, selective market regulations. So in your world if your product becomes wildly popular you lose control of it? To who then comes the responsibility of what is to become of your private enterprise?

Pretty much you do not believe in the Bill of Rights...

From the Supreme Court:

"Many people in the United States live in company-owned towns.[5] These people, just as residents of municipalities, are free citizens of their State and country. Just as all other citizens they must make decisions which affect the welfare of community and nation. To act as good citizens they must be informed. In order to enable them to be properly informed their information must be uncensored. There is no more reason for depriving these people of the liberties guaranteed by the First and Fourteenth 509*509 Amendments than there is for curtailing these freedoms with respect to any other citizen.[6]"

"In this case we are asked to decide whether a State, consistently with the First and Fourteenth Amendments, can impose criminal punishment on a person who undertakes to distribute religious literature on the premises of a company-owned town contrary to the wishes of the town's management. "

This is how fascist dictators do things.

A CNN correspondent was barred from attending an open press event at the White House on Wednesday because of questions she asked President Donald Trump earlier in the day.

Caitlin Collins and her employer, CNN, say the White House denied Collins access to Trump's Rose Garden event with the European Commission president because officials found her earlier questions "inappropriate."

Fits you like a glove.

What should be concerning to you is the fact that the side of the political spectrum that is now actively calling for the suppression/elimination of speech/ideas they disagree with is coming from the left.

In the 60s the left was fighting against the "man". Today they want the "man" to ratchet things down, eliminate things they don't like, increase gov control over ever aspect of our lives, etc.

Funny how that works.

Today the live and let live group is probably your rural voter. The ones that want everything controlled is your old hippies and young wanna be hippy types in places like San Fran and Berkeley.

Sucker Du has always been a fascist. Biden just made it official.

You're babbling

The headline implies they are doing the same thing.

The mayor of Austin was telling people to stay home, don't travel. Then went on a trip to Cancun.

That is called hypocrisy.

Ted Cruz hasn't been telling people in TX to stay home, etc.

I am sure that difference escaped you though.

No, no I don’t see why it matters. Skipping out is skipping out.
