<p>Hi all <br>
</p>
<p>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.</p>

<div dir="auto" class="body markup"><strong>American liberals are
obsessed</strong> 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 <a
href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-xpm-2013-05-20-chi-ft-lunch-nancy-pelosi-story.html"
rel="">dominant wing of the Democratic Party</a>).
<p>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, <a
href="https://www.ala.org/advocacy/intfreedom/hate" rel="">falsely</a>,
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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
