When I used to be a Democrat, "Question Authority" was a popular slogan, and was on a lot of bumper stickers.
Now, the left and Democrats embrace authoritarianism, and want to limit speech, and create authoritarian technology to pervasively enforce it.
Sad for us, this thinking is now in a (bare) majority.
- TulliusCicero 6y agoThe extent to which conservatives now believe this utter nonsense is pretty crazy. For decades they've talked up how businesses should be able to decide whatever they want for their business. Their business, their rules. Now when it goes against them, suddenly private businesses making decisions for their own platforms is now "authoritarianism". Funny how people getting mysteriously fired when bringing up unions with colleagues wasn't authoritarianism. Getting fired from your job because you're gay? Also not authoritarianism, obviously.
