The Left has a new workaround for Liberty: Dominate and shut down the marketplace of Ideas.

Let’s be blunt about it: socialism is based on lies. These begin with the lie that socialism is about freedom and Liberty. When in actuality it is about central planning of the economy and the radical redistribution of wealth requiring coercion or the threat of force, the antithesis of freedom and Liberty.

This is why the Left cannot abide free speech or the free exchange of ideas. This is why the Left has to dominate the conversation and shut down the marketplace of ideas. Glenn Beck recently highlighted an article from website spinquark: Welcome to Social Government making the point that the leadership of the dominant social media organs comes from the Left.

Social media companies aren’t held to constitutional standards because they’re private companies. But they’re also protected by the government because they’re considered “platforms,” not “publishers.” Well, the government has figured this out and has seen the power of using social media to circumvent the First Amendment and silence conservative voices.

Have you noticed how the DNC doesn’t seem at all concerned about the 2020 election, even though the Democratic candidates are pushing policies that are even too radical for the left? Why would they do that if they’re trying to win the hearts and minds of Americans? A website called Spinquark just released a chilling article that reveals exactly how many people who are directly connected to the progressive political machine are now working for big tech to control our conversations online — and they’re unquestionably interfering with the 2020 election.

The Left’s ‘workarounds’ for Liberty.

It was in the self-defense realm that the Authoritarian Socialist Left really tuned up for their full-scale assault on Liberty. They are busily assaulting this basic human right on multiple fronts at the Federal, state and local levels. They have imposed new restrictions on Liberty as well as ever-increasing taxes on ammunition and firearms in addition to attacks against the financial underpinnings of the industry.

They also developed a new way of going after free speech, a new way of hacking Liberty. The workaround of setting up dominate media systems that pretend to be platforms while acting as publishers. Offer a ‘Free’ service [how is that for subliminal irony?] that squeezes out the competition and then squeeze out the voices of freedom. They have the best of both worlds, pretending to support Liberty while working against it.

The Takeaway.

Leftists love to play the game of pretense, exploiting labels and terms that poll positively while being of the nothing of the kind. They work against Liberty whilst casting themselves as ‘Liberal’. They dredge up ideas of ancient Greece whilst claiming to be ‘progressive’. Worse yet, they exploit the word democratic while wanting a small cadre of collectivists running the show. Their social media manipulation is one of the most egregious examples.

The suppression of Liberty by dominant social media organs means they are acting publishers while enjoying the governmental protections of being platforms. The government is already interfering in the space, providing them protection they clearly do not deserve. Removing that protection would take away that unwarranted interference while conserving Liberty. That is what we need to demand, before it is too late.

If you’re on the internet, you are probably familiar with the “Nobody said anything” meme. The meme begins with a “nobody: …” and then out of nowhere comes a non sequitur. Nobody said anything and so Beto O’Rourke came out apologizing for his ancestors having owned slaves. In his defense, this could be like how Michael Scott wanted to control the media narrative before the narrative controlled him. But the narrative that perhaps Democrats have latched on to is that Beto O’Rourke comes from a wealthy family, married into an even wealthier family who also happens to be descended from slaveowners, and is Bobby Newport from Parks and Rec. So with his campaign struggling, but perhaps still organizationally viable, Beto O’Rourke confessed to his ancestors’ crimes, but in doing so, went full Swalwell.

Beto O’Rourke writes:

There’s a lot to break down here. The first I want to tackle is the statement about the two America. The two Americas he is talking about is not urban vs rural or red vs blue. It’s the Oppressors and the Victims. This dichotomy is foundational in social Marxism or what we more commonly refer to as Leftism. So I wanted to point out the Freudian slip before diving into the self-emasculation.

The closing paragraph is where Beto O’Rourke takes responsibility for the offenses of his ancestors. He acknowledges that he is on the side of the Oppressors by virtue of being born. This is exactly what Eric Swalwell did. If you recall such winning campaign messages, “being bold, without the bold” and “pass the mic.”

Democrat Primary

Eric Swalwell is not supposed to be a special case. He is the outcome of social-Marxism for regular straight white males. Intersectionality paired with social-Marxism places a low value on being a straight white male. A straight white male is supposed to embrace his low standing. Eric Swalwell is the epitome of this, and Beto O’Rourke is following suit. Joe Biden self-emasculated himself to not upset the victimology of Kamala Harris. It’s worth noting that Beto O’Rourke may just be attempting to scarf up the (nonexistent) Swalwell base in the primary race. The Democrat Presidential Primary Bracket has Beto O’Rourke, if we are to judge that he won his first matchup, facing off against Beto O’Rourke, so perhaps, in my bracketology, I anticipated this:

It’s A Cult

As Andrew Klaven perfectly explains, the goal of feminism is to make women second rate men and to make men second rate men. Eric Swalwell is the end game of intersectionality for straight white males. It’s a cult, and Swalwell is a low ranking member trying really hard to reach level three of fifteen. In this cult, everyone will be stripped of individuality for the sake of the collective. Collectivism. Conformity. Communism. It’s all social-Marxism fighting on multiple fronts of victimhood in the Culture War. Look at his policy proposals, all of them are his attempts to atone, not better our society. To Beto O’Rourke, this isn’t about justice, this is soteriology. This new rebirth of Marxism is a cult and the only way for straight white men to be saved is self-emasculation, going full Swalwell.

#GunPrideMonth is the perfect time for a calm, rational discussion about the true causes of violence.

Our friends on the national socialist Left love to bring up the issue of guns in the context of a ‘serious crisis’. Tying to make it seem as Corey Booker falsely claims that there is a mass shooting every day. Well, its been several days since one of those occurrences, so that is clearly a lie. Even the Washington Post has made it clear that gun homicides have dropped substantially over the past 25 years in this article: Most Americans incorrectly think gun-murder rates have become worse, not better.

However, for the Left they have convince themselves of the righteousness of their causes, so making something up here or lying there is perfectly acceptable to them, never mind that reality shows them to be complete frauds, ‘in the aggregate’.

At least it used to be that way. Now the Liberty Grabber Left has come out of the authoritarian closet with a full court press for socialism and gun confiscation [funny how those two things go hand in hand?]. At this point in time, it’s a case where they haven’t stopped complaining about guns, despite the violence rationale dropping out of the news.

It’s time for a calm and rational conversation about the basic human right of self-defense.

The Liberty grabbers are at a decided disadvantage in having these discussions in a relatively calm environment. It always seems to work best for them when emotions run high and they can run around with the hair on fire screaming ‘we have to do something –anything – about guns, now before we rationally think about it too much’. Well, they usually don’t add that last part, thinking is the last thing they want anyone to do.

The fact is a research study from Northeastern University demonstrated that: Schools are safer than they were in the 90s, and school shootings are not more common than they used to be.  Facts like that don’t help the Liberty Grabber Left in their gun confiscation quest, so such things are ignored. It’s better for them to engage in their usual routine of making things up and repeating them ad nauseam until they are believed as the truth, thanks to the admonitions of socialist luminaries Hitler a Lenin.

A discussion on the underlying causes of violence instead of inanimate objects.

We’ll begin with a video from a year ago from the Warrior Poet Society on Why Gun Control is NOT about GUNS:

[Note that even he mistakenly states that shootings are getting worse.]

He points out that the worse thing we could do is establish so-called ‘Gun-Free’ zones where mass murderers can have free reign. Most mass shootings since 1950 have taken place in ‘Gun-Free’ zones.

This leads to the larger point that even if the Liberty Grabbers got their wish and confiscated every gun from the innocent, the criminals and the government would still have them to prey on people.

Still further, making the point, even if those of evil intent didn’t have guns, they could use other means: explosives, poisons, edged weapons, vehicles..

He makes the last point that this is a recent phenomenon, unheard of 50 or so years ago. This is partly due to the glamorization of these killers in the media.

One change has been in the culture and in our society and the fact that many of these killers have grown up in fatherless homes. An article from last February pointed out that Of the 27 Deadliest Mass Shooters, 26 of Them Had One Thing in Common: fatherlessness.

The Takeaway.

The Liberty Grabber Left would like to have a ‘Conversation’ about gun confiscation. We of the Pro-Liberty Right want to Keep our freedom. Despite the lies of the Left, guns aren’t a growing epidemic. But they do stand in the way of the Socialist-Left attaining their desired authoritarian power. Thus they keep on bleating about the ‘problem’ even though its diminishing in intensity.

The intent here is to have that ‘conversation’ and prove that it’s NOT a question of guns, but of the breakdown in our culture induced by the Left. They would prefer it to be about guns, and how fast and how soon they will be confiscated.
