‘Wrong Thinking is Punishable’

“We will hold Social Media Platforms accountable for the hate infiltrating their platforms – because they have a responsibility to help fight against this threat to our Democracy. And if you profit off of hate, if you act as a megaphone for misinformation or cyber warfare. If you don’t police your platforms, we are going to hold you accountable as a community.” [More]

I like her rebuttal to Jon Stewart better than mine.

Private Parts

Throughout the document, Smith argues that the actions Trump took to overturn the election were in his private capacity – as a candidate – rather than in his official capacity, as a president. [More]

Speaking of acting in a private capacity, how is that not what election interference apparatchik Smith is doing, and why can’t (haven’t) Republicans and SCOTUS put an immediate halt to it?

According to His Nature

The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms says California Gov. Gavin Newsom is a hypocrite for signing a law barring local governments from requiring voter identification, while still expecting gun buyers to provide ID before exercising their Second Amendment rights. [More]

Same question I asked here

So… does this mean they’re reconsidering…?

According to Her Nature

“If this were truly a public health emergency, she would have enacted the preamble when the bill was signed back in July. Now that we are close to gathering the signatures needed to suspend the law for two years, she’s invoking an emergency preamble to sidestep the will of the people. She’s acting more like a dictator than a governor,” Toby Leary, the owner of a Cape Cod gun store and a leader of the group, said in a statement. [More]

Well, yeah…

How can there still be any question as to what these people are?

The Poisoned River

The seemingly benign connotation of socialism today as democratic and altruistic would be a source of laughter to the innovators, namely, Karl Marx (1818–1883) and Friedrich Engels (1820–1895), and to the actual applicators like Vladimir I. Lenin (1870–1924), Joseph Stalin (1879–1953), Mao Tse-tung (1893–1976) or Fidel Castro (1926–2016). If one visited the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) website, or read the Collected Works of Lenin, or listened to the speeches of Fidel Castro, one would quickly realize that all communist demigods use the terms socialism and communism interchangeably.[More]

Facebook commenters are having none of it.

Whenever Any Form of Government Becomes Destructive to These Ends

From WarOnGuns Correspondent Edmund M, via email:

Your question this morning regarding a word for rule by racist, feminist, Marxists sent me down a fascinating rabbit hole. Did you know that American English has 48 words that end in “ocracy”? I could not find a count for words that end with the shorter form “cracy”. A term that I learned today is doulocracy or dulocracy, with the linked article applying that term to the Antebellum South and may also apply to current gun control legislation. Doulocracy may explain some of the current animus towards Haitians, with Haiti being a country where slavery was abolished by armed rebellion by slaves. Two hundred years later…

Along those lines, I’ve always maintained that representation without taxation (i.e., “free stuff”) is just the other side of the same tyrannical coin.
