I recall @MarkSteynOnline observing that free people could defeat Islamists by defying Islam's blasphemy laws en masse - they'd realize they can't kill us all to keep us from drawing Mohammed cartoons. The same is true of Big Tech's blasphemy laws against news that hurts Dems.
@MarkSteynOnline The media would, of course, understand this and loudly trumpet the need for "resistance" if some conservative tech company was suppressing left-wing news organizations or stomping on news that harmed Republican candidates. They would proudly run the forbidden news in defiance.
@MarkSteynOnline The real "resistance" is, and always was, among the enemies of collectivism and the increasingly totalitarian Democrat Party. The @nypost is a real Resistance outfit, not the shrieking nincompoop roleplayers who spent the last four years wailing about Orange Hitler.
@MarkSteynOnline @nypost Reporters who really cared about free speech would be rushing to defy the Left's blasphemy laws at every opportunity - not just the Hunter Biden bombshells, but the Left's increasingly bizarre and capricious speech codes. They can't ban you all. They can't cancel you all.
@MarkSteynOnline @nypost Of course they won't do that, because most "reporters" don't give a fig about free speech. They are stalwart partisans of the Left, which has reached a tacit understanding with Islamists, Chinese fascists, and other parties who want to impose speech codes.
@MarkSteynOnline @nypost Instead of resistance, the media demonstrates compliance, and even writes apologias for fascists willing to kill people to silence them. Agreement on the importance of redefining free speech is what matters to all parties. Everyone has a list of words and ideas to ban.
@MarkSteynOnline @nypost No cartoons of Mohammed, no denial global warming ideology, no "hate speech," no questioning of China's geopolitical ambitions, no questioning of today's coronavirus orthodoxy, no challenges to "science" or "consensus," no stories that might kill Democrat campaigns...
@MarkSteynOnline @nypost ... a negotiation is in progress between the American Left and other totalitarian movements on the limits of free expression and the hobbling of the Internet. Our media, which should be fighting this horror tooth and nail with constant acts of defiance, is instead complicit. /end
