[Craic] Saturday virtual Craic 2022/2/5--10.00AM EDT. Greenwald: the liberal religion is Censorship

[Arthur Blomme]

Hi all

I saw the documentary on Jorden Peterson recommended by Bob Anderson.   
Amazing how much vitriol is leveled against him.  Now is Rogan the new 
Peterson.

      The Pressure Campaign on Spotify to Remove Joe Rogan Reveals the
      Religion of Liberals: Censorship
      <https://greenwald.substack.com/p/the-pressure-campaign-on-spotify>


            All factions, at certain points, succumb to the impulse to
            censor. But for the Democratic Party's liberal adherents,
            silencing their adversaries has become their primary project.

Rogan interviews Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) on Aug. 6, 2019, roughly six 
months before he endorsed the Vermont independent for president.


	

*American liberals are obsessed* with finding ways to silence and censor 
their adversaries. Every week, if not every day, they have new targets 
they want de-platformed, banned, silenced, and otherwise prevented from 
speaking or being heard (by "liberals,” I mean the term of 
self-description used by the dominant wing of the Democratic Party 
<https://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-xpm-2013-05-20-chi-ft-lunch-nancy-pelosi-story.html>). 


For years, their preferred censorship tactic was to expand and distort 
the concept of "hate speech” to mean "views that make us uncomfortable,” 
and then demand that such “hateful” views be prohibited on that basis. 
For that reason, it is now common to hear Democrats assert, falsely 
<https://www.ala.org/advocacy/intfreedom/hate>, that the First 
Amendment's guarantee of free speech does not protect “hate speech." 
Their political culture has long inculcated them to believe that they 
can comfortably silence whatever views they arbitrarily place into this 
category without being guilty of censorship.

Constitutional illiteracy to the side, the “hate speech” framework for 
justifying censorship is now insufficient because liberals are eager to 
silence a much broader range of voices than those they can credibly 
accuse of being hateful. That is why the newest, and now most popular, 
censorship framework is to claim that their targets are guilty of 
spreading “misinformation” or “disinformation.” These terms, by design, 
have no clear or concise meaning. Like the term “terrorism,” it is their 
elasticity that makes them so useful.
