>>They declared that “in the great debate of the past two decades about freedom versus control of the network, China was largely right and the United States was largely wrong.”<<
OK, folks, have it your way. I don’t like what you said. HANG’EM IN THE PUBLIC SQUARE!
“the new normal” SIL said this today, I bit her head off!
Harvard Law School professor Jack Goldsmith and University of Arizona law professor Andrew Keane Woods calling for Chinese style censorship of the internet
Reminds me of a Spencer Tracy movie I saw once. It was about how a judge sided with evil in the name of “law” but eventually paid the consequences.
These are not liberal ideas. Leftism is about illiberal authoritarian control over people and crushing basic rights. The leftists have beaten the liberals.
CW-II is coming.
Not yet, but close.
Stockpiling popcorn for round one.
Communists hijacked the word “liberal”. A “Liberal” is anything but.
Yes, but when our side uses the word liberal to refer to Marxists/socialists/anarchists/radicals, we run the risk of people thinking of old-time patriotic Democrats instead of the authoritarian extremists who have largely taken over the Democrat Party now.
I have noticed truckloads of commie crap coming out of "The Atlantic" lately.
Did the CCP buy them?

It’s here. The last 4-5 years of going after Trump, ANTIFA antics, vilification of white men>>all whites, degradation of biological surety, abrogation of parental rights, sexualization of children,destruction of language, destruction of education and non-stop attacks on our Founding, the Constitution and the rule of law (much of it from inside the institutions): That _was round one.
Corona Virus was Round Two.
Lockdown, deprivation of rights under color law is Round Three.<<<we are here.
This is assymetric warm warfare. By governorships and counting party make up of state legislators, we are a 50%/50% nation. Add to list above that the USA is balkanized.
Hopefully, you’ve stockpiled more than popcorn.
Amen to that. I never use the word “liberal” except when referring to old-fashioned Democrats of the Hubert Humphrey mold.
I may not have agreed with them, but occasionally they had interesting things to say.
Today, I use “leftist” to describe the degenerates that dominate the RAT party.
Exactly. Liberals demand conformance with their agenda. Not just conformance and acceptance, but you must "celebrate" every point on their agenda.
Dare to hold religious beliefs that don't align with their world-view? You and your business must be denigrated and ostracized at a minimum, sued out of business if possible.
Dare to hold an opinion on national sovereignty that precludes open borders? You *must* be a racist.
Dare to believe in simple heterosexual relationships? Or even that people's sex lives are part of their private lives and should, by definition remain private? You must be a homophobe.
Yes, the "liberals" certainly do "celebrate diversity" as long as your "diversity" completely and totally conforms to everything they believe in. If you dare to have your own opinions, own beliefs, that celebration of diversity on their part comes to a very sudden stop. It crashes hard up against their fascist tendencies to want to control every aspect of our lives.
The only thing worse than a Fascist is an “Anti-Fascist”.
The left has NEVER believed in free speech. They just don’t think they have to pay it lip service anymore.
They aren’t liberals.
They haven’t been liberals since progressivism first emerged.
They aren’t like the original progressives either, who were already bad enough, and haven’t been like them since Stalin’s useful idiots weaseled their way into neigh every nook and cranny of academia, k12 education, the media, civilian government, etc...
But wait, they’re no longer like the useful idiots either but are riddled with the cultural Marxists that the Soviets wanted to create in the West who would be incapable of sustaining a civilization!
So, hey, what more could they do but become the embodiment of tyranny and police state wannabes? It’s not like that stinky turd can’t get much worse ... without the Mark of the Beast and the Beast’s new Caliphate for them to serve on hand.
Yeah, funny how those "anti fascist" types are so willing to adopt very fascist-like attitudes and techniques to "force" their anti-fascism beliefs on others. But you know, they've convinced themselves they're battling fascists, so the ends justifies any means - even becoming exactly what they claim to be against.
Democrats are evil scum.
The problem comes in that they think anyone who dares oppose them must be a “fascist”.
And I always note why they use “Fascist” rather than “Nazi”. They refer to Hitler as a “Fascist”, even though it was Musolini who was the only real “fascist”.
Of course if they used the term “Nazi”, which stood for “National Socialist”, they would be admitting that Hitler was a fellow Socialist, can’t have that.
Inside every “liberal” is a Totalitarian screaming to get out.
