Video: On the Banning of Owen Benjamin | Upholding a Culture That Values Free Speech

Matt Christiansen
Published on Apr 7, 2018
A discussion on the culture of the Left has become increasingly authoritarian, making the point that this isn’t really about the 1st amendment. It’s about a political movement that wants to shut down opposition voices while it still purports to be “Liberal”. The issue is free speech in general and free speech as a cultural value – a value we are losing to the authoritarianism of the Left.
He further points out that it should be the individual that makes the decisions on speech – not the government or other entities that make that decision for you.
