America’s descent into the Dark Ages will not end well. It never has in the past.
Victor Davis Hanson is ruthless: "History is not static and it does not progress linearly. There was more free speech and unimpeded expression in 5th-century Athens than in Western Europe between 1934-45, or in Eastern Europe during 1946-1989. An American could speak his mind more freely in 1970 than now. Many in the United States had naively believed that the Enlightenment, the U.S. Constitution, and over two centuries of American customs and traditions had guaranteed that Americans could always take for granted free speech and unfettered inquiry.
That is an ahistorical assumption. The wish to silence, censor, and impede thought is just as strong a human emotion as the desire for free expression — especially when censorship is cloaked in rhetoric about fairness, equality, justice, and all the other euphemisms for not allowing the free promulgation of ideas." more
You can say all the socially correct lies that you want prozis. They will count for nought when the gibbet is the order of the day and the "shotgun sings it's song."
Patriots. Be warned.
Tempus fugit
