Cancel culture will prove to be the deadliest virus of them all

"Unlimited power in the hands of limited people always leads to cruelty."

—Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago

COVID and the resulting restrictions on our essential freedoms have been crippling — to the economy, to education, to the psychological well-being of millions of Americans. The communist tactic so clearly depicted in books like Koestler's Darkness at Noon, Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago, and Orwell's 1984 is in play: the indoctrination of the masses by fear in order to effect the wholesale subjugation of the people.

Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, and Mao all ruled by fear. The merest expression of disagreement with those regimes would mean the camps, prison, or death. Truth was irrelevant. Guilt was assigned arbitrarily without a shred of actual evidence of any crime. Think of Kafka's The Trial. The concept of individual freedom was anathema to these dictators. They all used concentration camps just as the Chinese do today; nearly a million Uighurs live in camps in China. They are denied basic human rights and are used for slave labor, organ harvesting, and medical experimentation. This is the country that owns, and will manipulate to its own ends, Joe Biden. With what the Chinese have on Hunter Biden, Joe will be as easy a tool to use as a dime-store screwdriver.

While we were sleeping, the Democrat party has been advancing its own form of population control. First it was political correctness on college campuses. That doctrine was quickly adopted by all the social media sites. Use a wrong word, express an "incorrect" idea, misuse a gender pronoun, and one will be viciously harassed online. The next step in this process is canceling people who make a verbal slip, even if a breach of P.C. etiquette was committed years in the past. They would be attacked, then canceled.

One problem is a lot of conservatives and our commentators act like it’s all so silly and amusing.

The only proper American response to the left is a strong “F U” and a clear warning to get out of our way.

That’s not loose talk. The left is violent, racist and crazy and calls us all nazis. It’s not some quaint group of foolish people.

Look where we are now as they try to DISQUALIFY our presidential candidate and censor us out of society.

Immediately following Biden’s inauguration I will begin wearing a red star, in alliance with the Jews in 1930 Germany and Trumpians in 2021 USA.

Too many (Freepers included) are beholden to globalists, cheap Indian and Mexican labor, and Chinese trade. I’ve read it hundreds of times on FR with little pushback from the rest of us.

One small example, I bet a certain gun lover from Texas is set to make millions off the Hiden/Ho Cheap Indian labor express he loves so much.

Some on the Right dismissed it for years as no big deal as if it would forever remain in the domain of universities and the most leftist of cities. (Not that it ever made much sense to ignore the harm to conservative and moderate people in those areas.)

Well, quite predictably, it’s grown and grown and here we are. This is evil, dangerous leftism, not something silly.

Only a small step from canceling you from society and just sending you to a labor camp and killing you which will never be re[ported because you no longer exist.

Like EVERY SINGLE LEFTIST IDEA, it will be a “cure” for a that will do 1000 times more death and destruction, than the “disease”, that they delusionally misunderstood.

‘Cancel culture’ is the Big Brother of 1984.
Even worse it’s not the government ‘watching you’, it’s a bunch of fanatics.
