Censorship in America has ramped up since the despicable riot at the Capital. Thanks to social media, mainstream news, universities and corporations. Cancel culture is on a rampage.
Many are celebrating this culture coup. Silencing the voice of the opposition is a dream come true.
BUT
It is a nightmare for the future of freedom of speech in America.
Freedom of speech is fundamental to maintaining a republic and a civilization. The founding fathers understood this. Making freedom of speech the first constitutional amendment. Knowing that the republic would not weather the future storms that precede change without the exploration of differing ideas— belief systems. Embracing debate, not the echo chamber.
No matter your political, religious, cultural beliefs, the abolishment of free speech cannot be endorsed, applauded.
Why?
CONTROL the narrative.
CONTROL the way people think.
CONTROL people.
