the insidious mainstreaming of pro-censorship advocacy is the most dangerous cultural phenomenon of the 21st century. our brief, american liberty has been an unprecedented historical outlier. if we don't fight for freedom, we will absolutely lose it in our lifetime.https://twitter.com/stengel/status/1189157532909981696 …
increasingly the argument for censorship is "europe does it." I would remind pro-censorship activists europe is also the continent of marx and hitler, and there are literal members of the nazi party still alive in germany today. in liberty, americans do not follow. we lead.
Okay, but what are some non-legislative ways to disincentivize the equally insidious rhetoric fueling, for instance, acts of domestic terror?
in many states the disincentive for acts of domestic terror is the death penalty. i'm not sure that's the perfect solution, but it's certainly a more reasonable place to begin this conversation than "let's be china."
I really hope they name it the Sedition Act.
It runs real security risks, too. Militias looked like crazy people in the 90's. In an environment where the NYT and Washington Post are advocating to end the First Amendment, the stigma fades away rapidly.
You could imagine a flashpoint: court orders someone not to speak, militias protect the speaker. 1/2 the country would support them. You don't want 1/2 the nation in favor of vigilantes. You also don't want the 1st Amendment to get reduced The whole situation is a powder keg
The body count of too-little-censorship is in the 10s, even imagining that censorship will stop all domestic terrorism. The body count of too much censorship will get to the 100000s when they start censoring discussion of public health, foreign affairs, econ, etc. Google Uyghurs.
