The ideology of the Left needs to be hated, not tolerated one jot.

“ideologically driven hate speech” that increases the likelihood of unpredictable acts of violence.

Just about ANY Biden speech qualifies under that definition. . . .

By his own reasoning his article “increases the likelihood of unpredictable acts of violence” against scientists and journalists.

The power of liberals is their ability to live in the moment. Here’s an example scenario:

A liberal throws trash on the ground. You chastize them. They tell you “so what!”

You then throw trash on the ground. They chastize you. You say “so what!”. They yell at you louder. You say “but you just threw trash on the ground!”.

They say “so what!” again and yell at you even louder.

Liberals operate without precedence or logic.

It will get to the point where uttering the least discouraging word about Big Brother will paint a target on you, with all sorts of negative consequences to your personal and financial well being.
I’ll see you all in the camps, comrades.

During the war, my dad&uncle along with all the other sailors, Marines, and soldiers in the Pacific Theater listened to Tokyo Rose WITHOUT interference from the government. Fact is, Tokyo Rose broadcasts were piped over dad’s shipboard M1C speakers, real, “enemy propaganda”, WITHOUT interference from Navy censors, why...

because the troops all knew the propaganda was bullshit!!! but they liked the music

same thing with Hanoi Hanna in Vietnam, grunts liked the music and ignored the bullsh!t

so why is the democRAT party soooo afraid of free speech???

Because the have no retort...

The most effective propaganda against them can be themselves in their own words. So they want to stop that.

“Stochastic Terror”: just another liberal pseudo-intellectual label that means nothing.

Basically just regurgitated Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc.

Great post A+

Another poster for the den

Speech is not violence; statistical abstraction is not a substitute for evidence; and free-association fantasies cannot determine guilt.

Obviously since it comes from the left it's just a buzzword for totalitarianism. But I need to understand what they hell they are even trying to say calling it "stochastic".

When I took my engineering courses I learned that a stochastic process or function was fancy talk for 'it has random variables in it'. Stochastic means random or having randmoness to it. But they don't mean that it's randomly occuring terrorism so what they hell does it even mean (I mean literally, what did they think that word meant?)

Crypto meaning hidden would make sense to me. Stochastic meaning random simply doesn't. But probably since they are paying the bills by using a crypto currency company to launder money I guess they didn't want to risk demonizing that word.

If they ever make a movie about actor Biden, he fits every film genre: melodrama, comedy,
love story, film noir, musical, war story, Western, horror, and historical epic.

The Left has been trying for decades to designate all Conservative speech as “violence” and all Leftist violence as “free speech.”

"Scientific American" was owned by the Communists Piels. That magazine writes pro communist trash and is not to be trusted as a scientific periodical.

"Scientific American's" smear of the late Sam Cohen of neutron bomb fame comes to mind.
