    Ppl now believe in silencing views they deem to be unpopular or wrong, whether it's on news or in society.

        .@SharylAttkisson "People NOW believe censorship of dissenting views is legitimate" - when was the halcyon age where this wasn't true?

        it appears so b/c divorcing politics from all else is a modern conceit; controlling dissent is as old as sin

        Controlling dissent is, yes, but as a legitimate tactic? No. Whenever it was discovered, bloody coups occurred.

        Why? Because it was not seen as a legitimate tactic in the political field- even if some used it still.

        "it was not seen as a legitimate" Socrates died over censorship. Savonorola did too. Luther almost did too.

        Even more so in our universities. No longer a place for the free exchange of thought or challenging the status quo.
