Why is censorship the go-to tactic for leftists?

Well, if you ask them they won’t deny their love affair with the
memory hole. In fact, most leftists will vehemently defend censorship
as absolutely moral and for the “greater good.”

Their position is basically this: We live in a “society”, and some
ideas, thoughts and words are “dangerous” and destructive to that
society. Therefore, those ideas and words must be eliminated from open
discussion so they can protect society from itself.

But who gets to decide which ideas are dangerous and destructive? It’s
rather convenient that the political left has anointed themselves the
pure and objective arbiters of our culture. Purity within leftist
groups is measured by expressions of “empathy” (virtue signaling).
They are the thought police because, somehow, they believe they are
the most empathetic.

True empathy is of course impossible to measure in another human
being. You could very well be dealing with a narcissist or psychopath
that is very good at pretending they care and have a conscience. They
might say all the right things and have all the right opinions in
public, but in their private lives they are malicious and take
pleasure in causing pain in others. Humans are utterly fallible, which
is why all systems of freedom seek to decentralize power through
checks and balances and avoid mass censorship. All systems that value
freedom and peace seek to eliminate the existence of thought police.

Leftists (and globalists) have sought to circumvent checks and
balances as well as free speech protections through a number of
tactics. In much of the western world they pay lip service to free
speech rights when it is convenient for them, but most European
nations and countries like Australia have NO legitimate constitutional
measures that restrict governments from easily initiating speech
suppression laws whenever they want. The draconian restrictions put in
place over covid have proven this beyond a doubt.

This is what makes the US so unique as a culture, and it is the reason
why leftists have pursued other methods to silence dissent.

In America, the left has partnered with the corporate world and is
attempting to use “business rights” as a means to attack and diminish
conservative voices. That is to say, they think that if they can
harass and pressure a business to deplatform their opposition then
this is a technically legal tactic because a business has a right to
associate or not associate with whoever they choose. If the power of
government cannot be used to muzzle their opponents, then the power or
corporations and Big Tech can be just as effective.

Of course, most Big Tech corporations are NOT private businesses. They
rely heavily on government subsidies and tax incentives in order to
survive. If Google had to pay for the massive amount of bandwidth that
it has used in the past decade they would have gone out of business a
while ago, but with federal government incentives Google is given an
immense advantage over its competition. In terms of state subsidies
companies like Google, Amazon, Apple and Facebook rake in billions.

That’s your tax dollars going into the pockets of the same
corporations that claim they have the right to censor you for your
political views. If they want to censor the public, then we should
take away all the subsidies and the tax dollars; it’s that simple. We
can let those companies implode without our money to support them.

We have seen Big Tech and social media companies silence tens of
thousands of conservative’s over the past few years. The whole time
these companies and the media have denied that they specifically
target people on the political right (which these days means anyone to
the right of full bore communism and globalism). This gaslighting has
been debunked over and over again. It is undeniable that conservatives
are far more likely to be blocked or banned from social media than
people who express leftist views.

Once confronted with the data that proves Big Tech is biased in favor
of the left, they switch gears to the same old circular argument:
“Well, conservatives are banned more from social media because they
are the people always posting dangerous and destructive ideas…” And
we’re right back to where we started.

So let’s just establish some basic facts here before moving forward in
order to avoid any misunderstandings about the left…

FACT 1: Leftists are rabidly pro-censorship. This is not up for
debate. As the leftist New York Times argued in 2019, “free speech is
killing us,” specifically in reference to conservative speech. They
will say conservatives do the same thing and this is simply not true.
We are not living in the America of the 1960’s when religious
suppression of language was prominent; we are living in the America of
the 2020’s where leftists have insinuated their own bizarre cult of
Puritanism into US life and are viciously seeking to silence anyone
that disagrees with them.

FACT 2: Leftist censorship almost always aligns with the policies and
desires of establishment elites. It is a mistake to assume that
corporations are being “bullied” by the left. On the contrary,
corporate elites and globalist foundations are the people influencing
leftist activists and molding social justice movements to serve
establishment interests. Look into the background of any SJW movement
and your will find hundreds of millions of dollars in funding from the
Ford Foundation, Open Society Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, and
so on.

Leftists take their marching orders from the corporate elites. Why are
leftists so aggressively pro-vax mandate, for example? Because the
establishment media told them they must be – When Trump was in office
and the media was anti-vax, leftists were mostly anti-vax. When Biden
entered the White House the media became militantly pro-vax and so did
the vast majority of leftists. They have no individual autonomy and no
original thoughts; they are a hive mind waiting around for the
establishment to tell them what to think.

FACT 3: Leftists believe the ends justify the means no matter the
consequence, and they view contrary facts and evidence with disdain.
You will almost never see a leftist argue on the basis of merit, logic
or results. They will ALWAYS argue based on emotional justification,
righteous indignation and the projection that anyone that disagrees
with them MUST be a terrible or evil person that has malicious intent.

This is why their go-to attacks are consistently personal; they use
accusations of bigotry, racism, sexism, etc. in order to avoid
discussions on facts and evidence. Because if facts and evidence are
being presented by a “literal Nazi” then all of those facts become
null and void and the person can be ignored.

FACT 4: Leftists believe the mob is the law and all other laws and
principles must be subservient to the dictates of the “majority.”
Leftists are obsessed with majority rule and obsessed with
manufacturing consent by manufacturing a false consensus. In other
words, leftists believe that if they can trick or coerce 51% of the
population to think the way they do, then they have won and all of
their actions are sacrosanct by the virtue of the majority. They
actually believe that the other 49% of the population must submit to
their dictates because the majority is god.

In truth, the mob is almost always wrong and the “majority” has a
tendency to be the lowest common denominator and the most ignorant
within a society.

If they can’t obtain that precious 51% of the population, then they
will try to pretend as if they are the majority anyway. They will use
coordinated mob attacks on their opponents to make it appear as if
millions of people are against them when the mob is actually only in
the hundreds or thousands. Exposure of their true numbers is like
Kryptonite to leftists and they would rather disband than admit being
in a tiny minority. They will respond by claiming the group “never
existed” and is a “figment of conservative paranoia.”

FACT #5: If leftists could rule at the barrel of a gun, they would.
Leftists are absolutely in favor of imprisoning political opponents
and anyone that speaks against them, and many of them openly applaud
the idea of murdering conservatives because of their ideals. Just look
at how they defended the Waukesha mass killing by a BLM activist as
“karma” for the acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse. There is no such thing
as a peaceful end game for the political left. The violent direction
their ideology is traveling is obvious.

But what is all the subversion and chicanery meant to accomplish? Why
not confront their opponents directly instead of using subterfuge?
Because they are afraid. They are terrified of legitimate debate on
fair ground based on reality instead of emotional fantasy. They will
do anything to avoid direct confrontation because they know they will
lose.

Their common tactics include subversion, bait and switch, ambushes,
and always choosing the ground that a confrontation takes place so
they can control the debate and shut down their opponents whenever
they start losing. This does not mean that I think that every website
and platform out there is supposed to exist with no rules and no
restrictions; that’s impossible by the simple fact that trolls and
saboteurs exist. But leftists don’t engage in case-by-case censorship,
they rely on mass censorship and enormous corporate partners to strong
arm people. They aren’t interested in an honest disagreement with a
respectful platform user, they are interested in silencing everyone
that disagree regardless.

I can’t help but once again use the example of the leftist Jihad
against Joe Rogan to illustrate my point. The left hates Rogan because
he allows both political sides to have a voice on his show, and his
show is bigger than anything the leftists and the mainstream media can
hope to achieve. Leftists believe that if they cannot control
something, then they must destroy it. An open platform that treats
conservatives and their views fairly cannot be allowed to exist, so
Rogan becomes a top target of the political left.

Rogan is targeted over his position on the covid pandemic and the
vaccine mandates, but these are merely vehicles that leftists think
they can use to rationalize the mass censorship they wanted long
before the pandemic was a thing. They believe that the argument that
“millions of lives are at risk” supplants all other debate. That is to
say, the more people that die from covid, the happier they are because
those bodies can be used are fuel to push their ideological cult
forward to greater power.

The interesting thing about covid, however, is that it turns out NOT
to be a very effective vehicle for the leftists in terms of using
bodies to buy control.

As we saw when Joe Rogan confronted CNNs top medical correspondent Dr.
Sanjay Gupta on his show, the political left is easy to destroy when
it comes to debate on the response to covid, and it is a prime example
on why leftists usually avoid debate on fair ground. When Rogan
contracted covid the leftists were practically dancing in the streets
looking forward to his imminent death. These people are so stupid they
don’t seem to realize that on average over 99.7% of ALL PEOPLE that
contract covid will easily survive it.

I have now had the virus twice, about two years apart, and survived
both times without any treatment and without vaccination. Rogan fared
even better than I did, beating back covid in just a few days, most
likely because he had access to Ivermectin. The leftists and the media
went into a rage after Rogan’s easy recovery. Instead of admitting
defeat and admitting that vaccines are not necessary when dealing with
covid, they attacked Rogan’s method of treatment, accusing him of
spreading medical misinformation and promoting “horse paste”
(Ivermectin). To clarify, Rogan is living proof that easy treatment of
covid is possible, and this made the left angry enough to spread lies
about him and his treatments.

During his debate with Sanjay Gupta, Rogan annihilated CNN’s
assertions on Ivermectin and treatment for covid in general. Remember,
Gupta is CNN’s top medical correspondent, Rogan is not a doctor at
all, yet, Rogan wiped the floor with Gupta because the leftists have
no leg to stand on when it comes to covid. When the debate ground is
fair and these people have to actually defend their claims based on
facts and evidence, they lose every time. They can’t beat Rogan on the
facts, so they seek to beat him through censorship.

Multiple studies have now been released which prove that Ivermectin is
a safe and effective treatment for covid, greatly reducing the number
of hospitalizations and deaths. But, because leftists and the
establishment only want vaccinations (for some reason…), millions of
lives have been lost that could have been saved. What this shows is
that leftists do not actually care about saving lives, they only care
that people submit to their agenda. The covid vaccines are ineffective
and unnecessary, but they represent public fealty to leftist
authority, and that is all that matters.

There is even less logical support for the vax mandates, which are
designed to force people to accept vaccines through coercion. Leftists
claim this is not force because they think force only entails holding
a gun to someone’s head (which they would do if they thought they
could get away with it). This is not reality. Force also includes
taking away people’s rights and removing them from the economy. It
includes making people’s lives miserable until they “choose” to
comply.

The biggest leftist lie when it comes to covid and the primary
justification for the authoritarianism and censorship is the claim
that unvaxxed people are a threat to everyone else, and they have no
right to put other people at risk. Again, you will never see a leftist
try to defend this moronic claim in a fair debate forum because it
cannot be supported. If the vaccines worked, then vaxxed people should
have nothing to fear from the unvaxxed. If vaxxed people still have to
worry about contracting covid and dying from covid, then the vaccines
MUST NOT WORK.

And this is the reality leftists and the media do not want to talk
about. Vaxxed people are just as likely to transmit the virus to
others. Vaxxed people are just as likely to contract covid as the
unvaxxed. Vaxxed people still end up in ICU and still die from covid,
and some state numbers indicate that vaxxed people are more likley to
die from covid. As a point of reference, in the state of Massachusetts
alone there have been over 262,000 fully vaccinated people who still
ended up infected with covid and 1054 deaths according to official
numbers. That is an infection fatality rate of 0.4%, which is HIGHER
than the national average IFR of 0.27%.

To summarize, the vaccines are pointless and vax mandates are
criminal. Leftists cannot defend either one on scientific or moral
grounds. Their only option is to silence anyone who has the guts to
talk about the truth. They are weaklings with no reason in their
heads, and these are the types of people that always turn to mass
censorship as a tool to legitimize their ideology.
