[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Remember when the ACLU represented the rights of neo-Nazis to march in Skokie?  I think the liberals had it right then and are getting it wrong now.  Censorship through other means is still censorship.[/quote]

So what alternative are you proposing? That the publisher be FORCED to publish the book by the governement? Really?

This question has been asked about 10 times on this thread and no one will answer. I wonder why.[/quote]

Still waiting. [/quote]

I suppose that this point illustrates that it is current society itself that I "fear" - it seems there are thought police afoot that are powerful enough to have real impact on what is presented in the media, arts, news (I felt the same way with the way that Disney/MMA actress was treated - anyone that actually read her tweet could tell it was NOT anti-Semitic). These are corporations making decisions based on money, which is within their rights, but the far-left is trying to erase any exposure to things that they don't agree with or could be construed as offensive. And the far-left are either embedded within these corporations or have the money to exert influence. It's just a "scary" circular effect that seems wrong and the train is moving so fast in this direction with tech and social media and the 24/7 news cycle.[/quote]

Here's a thought.  [b]Why doesn't the right or far right or whoever that cares so much about the agenda of the 'far left' do something to oppose them?  I mean, the Mercers and Murdochs of the world aren't exactly poor, yaknow? [/b] Or is their only agenda to gin up outrage, but actually not do anything, because really, it doesn't much matter to them?

You still haven't come up with an answer to the question.  IF a publisher decides to not publish a book, do you want them to be forced to do it?  If a movie/TV show decides to fire an employee because they disapprove of their speech or conduct, should they be forced to keep them on as employees?  How does that end?[/quote]

this is the core of it. they could not care less but they use these wedge issues over and over to fog the minds of their viewers/readers so they vote for the very people who screw them and their children while benefiting the uber rich like Mercer an Murdoch and they dont even see it. look at FoxNews, I am sure Tacker Carlson will spend hours talking about how the radical left has already implemented North Korea style censorship killing the most beloved Dr Seuss that raised so many generation of wonderful Americans and the poor white kids are forced to read Dora the Explorer instead[/quote]
