This is a column detailing the rabid left's attempt at silencing those who disagree with them. It speaks about the succesful efforts on the part of leftist activists to influence the major online platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Google and Apple to deny a platform to the far right (the far left is okay though). It points out the dangers this poses for freedom of speech, which is ultimately the freedom all other freedoms rest upon. And it points out that those who want restrictions on 'hate speech' have a long, long list of other speech they want to eliminate. They'll never settle for just banning Nazis and white supremacists. Anyone who offends in any way, even by speaking a wrong word or sentence needs to be de platformed and shunned. That's simply the value system these people have. Witness this. Richard Spencer hates me. But in order to muzzle him, I’d have to grant censorious power to people who hate him, but who also hate me. And they won’t stop at the groups I’ve mentioned. They’ll go after mainstream conservatives, and they’ll go after center-Right people like New York Times columnists Bari Weiss, David Brooks, and Bret Stephens. They’ll cancel Joe Biden. They’ll deny a platform to everyone to the right of Chapo Trap House, because, like Richard Spencer, they do not believe in free speech and they do not value the rights of people who disagree with them. Their cause is righteous, everyone who stands against them is a villain, and their creed doesn’t permit tolerance of dissent. https://quillette.com/2019/06/23/how-free-speech-dies-online/

We have come to this, ladies and gentlemen. Liberalism, when pushed to its extreme, leads to immorality. Many individual decisions, or what people in general strive for, are interfering with both the moral good, and what is socially normative and acceptable. This liberalism is harmful for children and is harmful for society in general. Advocacy for pedophilia groups, and making it socially acceptable is not good for society. Extreme liberals won't understand this. Just as they don't understand that post natal abortions are immoral.

You know you're not allowed to say the blood obvious around progressives...

Bullspit. Every race of human evolved during rapid upswings in climate. Almost every empire and civilization came into being during rapid upswings in climate. And during every single one of those events the average global temps were warmer than they are today. 1100 years ago the Greenland ice sheet did not exist other than some glaciers in the far north of the island. Now idiots are freaking out about the ice sheet receding. They freak out over sea ice extent. An extent that was first measured by satellite in 1979. 1979 saw an abormally high sea ice extent and that's the base line the alarmists are working from. And the alarmist stupidity doesn't help things. Had one idiot try to convince me that AGW is real because up until the 1960's Lake Ontario would completely freeze over. The problem with that claim (besides the obvious bullshit that it is) is that Lake Ontario has only frozen over completely four times since Europeans arrived here. Or how about Lenny DeCrapio freaking out over a chinook in Alberta and exclaiming he witnessed AGW first hand and "barely escaped with his life" or some such nonsense. The problem with climate science right now is that it has become heavily politicized. And when stuff like that gets politicized, it becomes harder to trust. Especially when the AGW mouthpieces refuse to walk their talk. An access to information request revealed that the Groper household spends around $300/MONTH on bottled water. Groper's family vacations have also created a larger carbon footprint than the average Canadian family does in a year. He's rented a total of 431 luxury SUV's during his annual trips to climate conferences. The only inconvenient truth about Al Gore's movie is after all his piffle about AGW and rising sea levels, he goes and buys a nice ocean front home in Santa Barbara. The political stance on AGW is loooooong on rhetoric and hyperbole and rather short on actual science.

Tarriffs aren't the end of the world. There are other markets out there. Trump Admin just got Japan to drop restrictions on US Beef. Opening up a new $200 Million a year market. https://news.yahoo.com/1-japan-opens-doors-full-134305953.html
