Became? They become authoritarian immediately after they are given any authority. Before that, they were all in for the little guy.

The Left became authoritarian in about ... 2020?

I thought it was 1789. Or 1917. Or 1949. Or 1958. Or something.

They have not lost their minds and they did not “become” authoritarians.

I’m 71 and was a college kid in the late 60’s and early 70’s. At that time, the hippie and peace/love movement was all about “if it feels good, do it!”, “do your own thing”, “distrust the establishment”, communes and so on.

Today, those same people and many of their kids ARE the establishment and do not want you doing your own thing. In fact, those of communal sharing era are the most selfish bunch I’ve ever seen. My way or now way!!!!!

Boy, how times ahve changed!

Posted this awhile back in response to a post about John Brennan tweeting a quote from John Lennon:

Government is always generational, and we are living in The Revenge of the Seventies, ruled by young "activists" now grown old, in positions of power, and living in their "second childhood" of trying to destroy the country that gave them riches and influence. These are denizens of the drug-fueled decade of Paul Ehrlich's Population Bomb, Alvin Toffler's Future Shock, Helen Caldicott's Nuclear Madness, the Club of Rome's Limits to Growth, Alex Comfort's Joy of Sex, and their 2022 "agenda" is pretty much out of a week of 1972 All in the Family reruns. Here's a roster of these "young activists" and their ages fifty years ago: John Kerry, 28; Nancy Pelosi, 31; Dick Durbin, 27; Hillary Clinton, 24; Joe Biden, 29; Anthony Fauci, 31; Chris Wallace, 24; Wolf Blitzer, 24; Bill Clinton, 25.

Their present enablers weren't much older back then: George Soros, 41; Klaus Schwab, 33.

These people may look old and gray, but their Vietnam-era "agenda" has never changed. They know that America is evil, because all their friends agreed on that. They know that all cops are bad because cops used to bust them for pot, they know that Che was good because everyone had his poster, they know that Republicans are bad because Richard Nixon beat the crap out of George McGovern. They know there is "global warming" even though they've never felt it, they know that corporations are bad because, well, they're corporations; they know that keeping a proper habitat for a snail is more important than the survival of an American family.

There is so much more that they know . Mountains of outdated, antiquated BS. These are 70-year-olds who carry the '70s always within them. They are avocado paneling in the 21st century, and they will not rest until they prove to their long-dead parents who called them crazy that they were right all along.

As Ronald Reagan famously said, "The trouble with our Liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so."

If the media wasn't similarly infested, and eager to give them a soapbox for their half-century-old blather, they wouldn't stand a chance. It's 2022 for godsake. It's time for them to go.

They don’t deserve any power or respect, period.

It didn’t start with COVID. It started with calling all speech that the left doesn’t like “racist”, “homophobic”, or “transphobic”. Then it progressed to equating any speech that they slapped one of those labels on with “violence”. All of that was simply a cynical ploy to allow captured social media platforms to censor right wing political speech without losing their special status under Section 230, by appealing to the exceptions for “violations of community standards” and “incitement”.

Only once all of that was firmly in place with automated systems to implement it, could the type of broad spectrum censorship of the COVID era be deployed. They just needed to add a few more keywords to the algorithm now whenever they wanted to censor something else.

Oh certainly. Had dealings with a few of them, some said they were doctors too, sadly.
