Um dos pontos perdidos - talvez pq há tão poucos judeus no Brasil (100.000) - é a diversidade de pensamento entre nos. Muitos judeus estão os críticos mais duro de Israel e mais radicais em apoia a liberdade de expressão. Apoiar o Israel nunca significa a apoiar os judeus.
Muitos partidos europeus de direita com uma longa história de antissemitismo são agora alguns dos aliados mais dedicados e leais de Israel. Muitos dos movimentos de protesto contra o governo de Israel são liderados por judeus ocidentais. Estes são debates completamente separados.
Ontem foi um dia bizarra e ofensiva: ser um dos poucos judeus gays em um país de 220 milhões de pessoas, imerso desde criança nas lições do Holocausto, ser chamado de "nazista simpatizante." Judeus não são um brinquedo político. Meu vídeo sobre isso:

1/ Vou fazer uma live com o @CartaCapital hj de noite para falar mais sobre isso, mas um dos motivos pelos quais intelectuais judeus de esquerda (como Chomsky e @ACLU) são radicais da liberdade de expressão é porque assistiram aos primeiros passos do Partido Nazista: censura....
2/ Em meados da década de 1930 - anos antes do Holocausto - Hitler começou a implementar de censura, proibição (e queima) de de livros, proibição de partidos de oposição. Muitos judeus repelem tais "soluções". É uma história complexa que merece mais do que o ativismo de hashtag.
Hoje à noite, às 19h, estarei no canal do YouTube da @CartaCapital para um live, discutindo:

"A tradição do ativismo judaico e a controvérsia Monark."

Only the US corporate media could take the person in this video, Joe Rogan, and claim he's a far-right figure.

It happens in part because most of Rogan's critics never watch his show, but also because the media purposely lies and uses "far-right" to malign everyone they dislike.
The media moronically calls Rogan "right-wing" because this is their only strategy for combatting the explosive growth of independent media taking their audience.

If they can convince people that everyone independent of them is "far-right," at least liberals will be captive. ImageImage
In other words:

"Hey, all you guys who supported Bernie Sanders and have positions far to the left on key issues than we could dream of having: every time we use your name, we'll call you 'right-wing' because we have to make liberals stay loyal to us."

Love,
Corporate media

Major controversy today in Brazil involving a Rogan-type popular independent podcaster. He said last night he thinks Brazil should have the same system as the US: government can't outlaw any parties, even a Nazi Party. Is being widely accused of being a Nazi, lost sponsors,
As it's grown, he's hosted some of the biggest names in Brazil politics and culture across right and left. Big move now to demand those guests withdraw their episodes, nobody go on. He apologized for being drunk when he said it (shows are 4 hours long or more and he drinks).
The biggest corporate media in Brazil is as hated as in the US. The left sees them as supporting not one but *two* coups, including in 2016. But an independent podcaster with no corporate structure is an easier target. We'll see how much damage they can do to him finally.

Acho que @TabataAmaral e outros defensores da censura devem ter cuidado ao usar judeus como um argumento. Foram os judeus americanos que, como minoria, lideraram a luta pela liberdade de expressão, incluindo advogados judeus da esquerda defendendo o direito deles de protestar.
Pode ler aqui - no site da @ACLU, o principal grupo de direitos civis nos EUA - onde contam com orgulho desta história. Dizem que a censura sempre será usada contra os marginalizados e as minorias. Eles também tiveram o apoio de alguns líderes negros.

Também anotei antes que Noam Chomsky - um dos intelectuais judeus de esquerda mais influentes do século 20 - foi e é um defensor absoluto desta liberdade pra todos. Grande parte de sua família foi assassinada pelos nazistas. Eles começaram com a censura:

He got $100 million because he built a gigantic audience of ideologically diverse young people -- exactly the audience Spotify and most other companies want most -- and nobody comes close to his ability to inspire trust among that group. He doesn't map onto partisans' brains:
It's crucial that we judge people's use of the N-world not as absolute proof that they're racist, but through the context in which it was used -- if they're liberals in good standing:

This is about 1,000 times more virulent than anything Rogan has dreamed of doing but Howard Stern is now a liberal in good standing -- adores Hillary and Maddow, hates Trump, spouts every DNC piety -- so it's fine. Hillary went on his show, oozed praise:

Number of U.S. COVID deaths under Trump (with no vaccine, few treatments, and a more deadly variant):

396,837

Number of U.S. COVID deaths under Biden (with universally available vaccine, better treatments, and a less deadly variant):

528,379

covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tra…
(Note: this covers 10 months for Trump and a year for Biden, though the Biden-era death count was also higher after 10 months).

Of course none of this Biden's fault, while all 2020 COVID deaths were blamed on the Trump. Key: "shutting down" the virus was his core campaign vow.
Meanwhile: since @staceyabrams is a very sophisticated and important liberal, I'm sure there's something in The Science™ that justifies her being maskless indoors, surrounded by young kids forced to wear masks all day. Maybe she's holding her breath?

It was only a question of time before the all-out war on Rogan began. He's way too big and off-key to permit him to keep going. The concept of free speech in the US is a mirage: you have it right up to the line where it matters or can threaten power centers, then you don't.
Every major institution is united to destroy Rogan, including the WH. The Press Secretary -- speaking on behalf of the US Govt -- demanded Spotify do more to stop him, and this is treated as normal and benign. Ask Julian Assange if *effective* dissent is permitted.
The power derived from controlling the flow of information is immense. That's why every tyrant and authoritarian wields censorship power. Tyranny can't exist without it. And as Orwell and Chomsky have both said, the most effective form isn't jailing dissidents but doing this.
