As a retiree, I'm older than most here, and can attest to the fact that the freedom of expression in the United States is suppressed to a greater degree than at anytime in my lifetime. And it's only getting worse. To accept censorship on Big Tech platforms, e.g., Facebook & Twitter because they are "private companies", is to ignore revelations over the recent years of working in concert with offices of the federal government. Speech codes, gender identity, climate change, election meddling, excessive government spending, two tiers of justice (compare the treatment of Antifa/BLM with the J6 protestors), et al, all lead to a severe erosion of liberty. And that's the way it's intended.
- Fatnino 4y agoYou fit the stereotype quite well
- Blackstrat 4y agoStereotype?
- Fatnino 4y agoThe stereotype that older people lean conservative.
- Blackstrat 4y agoWhat I wrote was not conservative. It was just reality. Having been educated at a time when schools/colleges still taught and not indoctrinate, I passed by college biology course. I've read histories of the rise of the Third Reich, for example. I worked with people from all over the world, many escapees from brutal, communist regimes, e.g., the Soviet Union, Cuba, et al. Based on my education and experience, I don't buy into every stupid, little virtue signaling scheme folks come up with these days. Some here still do. They think it makes them more compassionate, more understanding, etc. It gives their lives meaning, whether it's "gender identity", climate change, or EVs. It doesn't. It simply makes them useful idiots, a tool of the ever expanding socialist state.
