Democrats now demand all “hate speech” be banned from the internet… but THEY get to define hate speech, of course

(Natural News) Former Congressman Denver Riggleman and American Jewish Congress president Jack Rosen both want online free speech to come to an end, all in the name of stopping “hate.”

In a recent op-ed they co-wrote for Newsweek, Riggleman and Rosen condemned the social media platform Gab for allowing conservative voices like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia to post “questionable” content.

Because Greene compared forced mask-wearing to the yellow stars that Jews were forced to wear in Nazi Germany, she has quickly become the scapegoat for trying to shut down all digital platforms that are not left-wing echo chambers.

According to Riggleman and Rosen, saying things that deviate from the official script is “hateful” and should not be allowed. Further, any platform where “hate” might have occurred, such as Gab, must be immediately shut down to promote “love.”

“There are two options for dealing with online platforms that promote hate – and potential violence – in our political system,” the op-ed reads.

“The first is to ban them. There are precedents in law where exceptions to the First Amendment regarding hate speech exist. These standards could be applied to political campaigns as well, making it clear that hate speech in support of political candidates will not be tolerated and that, by extension, funds raised by politicians on hate-based platforms like Gab will not be permitted.”

The op-ed goes on to compare free speech that offends liberals to “shouting fire in a crowded theater” and causing panic. Both, Riggleman and Rosen contend, must be banned to keep everyone safe from “hate.”

The two also want to know how conservative politicians like Greene are raising money through platforms like Gab. To them, it is only acceptable for liberal politicians to milk far-left platforms like Twitter and Facebook for cash, and any competition to this must also be banned. ... Continue reading >>>

Is Free Speech Being Murdered By The Media And Politically correct Left Wing Activism

There can be no doubt, the right of citizens in the developed world to free speech, free access of information and freedom to express ideas is increasingly under threat as the power elites feel their grip being loosened by increasingly well informed and articulate working and midddle classes. Without any apparent sense of irony the advocates of big government and controlled media call themselves 'the left' as though their opponents are not bright enough to know that free speech is one of the foundations of classical liberalism and the suppression of free speech is a hallmark of tyrants.
Is Free Speech Being Murdered By The Media And Politically correct Left Wing Activism The Self Righteous Minority That Threaten Free Speech

Until recently Universities were places where any ideas were welcome and any economic, social, or scientific theory, no matter how extreme would be given a fair hearing and debated openly. So where did it all start to go wrong? How did the idea that there is only one set of acceptable answers to society's problems (the 'pensée unique' to use a French phrase I am fond of, redolent of The Borg in Star Trek and much more demeaning than "Social Justice Warriors") and that those who challenge the orthodoxy should be silenced and prevented from broadcasting their ideas in print or verbally.

The Self Righteous Minority That Threaten Free Speech

The Imporantance Of Free Speech And The Right To Offend

Our right to free speech is under threat from intolerant, authoritarian left wingers or 'progressives liberals' as these illiberal reactonaries like to style themselves. The 'Politically Correct Thought Police' as I have somtimes called them in acknowledgement of Geoge Orwell's novel '1984', are determined that in they egalitarian dystopia they dream of (but that fortunately could never be) nobody will be able to say or do anything that may offend s member of any racial, sexual or social minority. This kind of fascistic tyranny is justified by invoking politically correct ideals, but it is having a deeply damaging effect on human society and could eventually result in civil conflict in the developed nations.

German politician calls on facebook to abolish free speech
A German politician has given the clearest indication yet that the political elites of the free world are ideologically much closer to Adolf Hitler's National Socialists than the social liberalism they claim to support.
