      From: wernerhetzner@gmail.com              We’re to the point where Thomas Jefferson could come back from the dead and       recite the Declaration of Independence. It would be decried as racist because       Jefferson was a slave-owner.              And then he’d have a milkshake thrown on him before being hauled off to jail       for spouting hate speech. Snopes would then ‘fact-check’ his words and       declare it ‘fake news.’              Facebook would ban people for sharing the video.              Because who says something today is far more important than what they said. In       today’s internet culture wrongthink is forever.              How far have we sunk in our political cynicism that founding tenets of what       we’re supposed to be fighting for are stifled because the wrong person       uttered them?       https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-07-30/people-are-our-bosses-       wayne-rock-johnson-says-boris-johnson-not-his-twin              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
