|    Under our ruling oligarchs, 'free speech    |

      XPost: talk.politics.guns, alt.freespeech, alt.politics.media       XPost: sac.politics, alt.politics.democrats, alt.fan.rush-limbaugh       From: democrat-criminals@mail.house.gov              https://dailyangle.com/articles/under-our-ruling-oligarchs-free-speech-is-       now-hate-speech              Observations on the irrepressible human spirit and the power of censorship       to breed rebellion:              Like the old boiler-based steam engines of yore – or today's ubiquitous       residential hot water heaters – societies without an adequate release       valve to keep internal pressures within tolerable limits will suffer       violent explosions that can't be ignored – just ask Deathstar project       manager Darth Vader regarding Princess Leah's Rebel Alliance. Or the ADL's       Johathan Greenblatt on the escalating Kanye/Kyrie/Chappell uprising and       the sudden call for Jews to flee America for Israel (in my view a cascade       of over-reactions that may frighteningly transform a fixable problem into       self-fulfilling prophecy).              Like "beauty," "hate speech" is in the eye of the beholder – whose       perspective usually depends on whose ox is being gored. And that's a big       problem when it comes to democratic societies, because subjectivism is the       worst enemy of objective truth and always leads to tyranny by the       strongest self-interested faction(s) over everyone else. This in turn       leads inevitably to violent, often murderous insurrection by the serfs, a       la the French Reign of Terror or the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, or       even our own American Revolution (which was actually just "deadly," not       "murderous," because the violence was justified in self-defense).              Importantly, deciding who are the "good guys" and "bad guys" in these       matters is also subjective in the absence of an overarching moral paradigm       (such as the Bible) deemed binding upon everyone. Without the law above       the law, one side's "freedom fighter" is always the other side's       "terrorist" and only "might" will decide who's "right:" a determination       "carved in stone" in the history books of the victor.              When it comes to preventing explosive social rebellions, the release valve       is a carefully established and maintained set of objective criteria for       judging disputes that applies equally to everyone. America's symbol for       that ideal is a blindfolded Lady Liberty holding aloft the scales of       justice. Its codification of that ideal is the U.S. Constitution,       clarified in the Bill of Rights and later augmented by the Due Process and       Equal Protection clauses of the 14th Amendment.              The purpose of the U.S. Constitution, unique in all human history, was to       establish one common standard for everyone as a matter of right,       safeguarded by a separation of governmental powers that included not just       the tripartite division of the national government, but also the       separation of the federal from the individual state governments (the 10th       Amendment) and the people collectively from both the federal and the state       governments (the Ninth Amendment). All power was mandated to flow from the       people to the government by delegation, which presupposition is the       ultimate first principle of America as set forth in the first organic law       of this nation (literally the first law in the law books), the Declaration       of Independence, which in turn anchors its authority in the bedrock of       "the Laws of Nature and Natures God."              Without that law above the law, all disputes come down to contests of       little strongmen whose "might makes right" until one super strongman       (Dictator), or a group of them (Oligarchy), or a perpetual, usually       family-based strongman system (Monarchy), or a religion-based strongman       system (Theocracy) or some combination of them imposes its will on       everyone else. This is an inescapable logical imperative of human nature.       The best one can hope for is strongmen who are fair-minded and benign.              America's own roots began in the soil of rebellion against an intertwined       Roman Catholic theocracy and monarchy in Western Europe and Great Britain       when "hate speech" meant dissent from government narratives about the       Catholic royal family. Yet even then, when "hate speech" was punishable by       death, the dissent was irrepressible, spawning the art of "Nursery       Rhymes": mockery and or memorialization of events written in a secret       political code hidden in children's songs. They were the 17th century       version of the Ichthys fish symbol of first-century Christians or "Let's       Go Brandon" for the modern MAGA movement.              Per the BBC: "'Rock-a-bye Baby' refers to events preceding the Glorious       Revolution. The baby in question is supposed to be the son of King James       II of England, but was widely believed to be another man's child, smuggled       into the birthing room to ensure a Roman Catholic heir. The rhyme is laced       with connotation: The "wind" may be the Protestant forces blowing in from       the Netherlands; the doomed "cradle" the royal House of Stuart. … 'Mary,       Mary Quite Contrary' may be about Bloody Mary, daughter of King Henry VIII       and concerns the torture and murder of Protestants."              Both the French and American revolutions also sprang from that       social/political context. The French version, undergirded by atheism,       became an orgy of gore and atrocities. The American version, undergirded       by Hebraic-influenced Protestantism produced the model society of the       modern world in which all factions, including Jews and Catholics, as       individuals, gained an equal place in the process of self-governance.              "For my part, I sincerely esteem the Constitution, a system which without       the finger of God, never could have been suggested and agreed upon by such       a diversity of interests," said the eminent Founding Father Alexander       Hamilton.              I believe America's constitutional republic formally ended on Jan. 6,       2021, when the U.S. Congress ratified the Purple Uniparty's theft of the       presidency from Donald Trump, and then the failure of the Red Tsunami       counter-revolution of 2022 to claw it back sealed our fate as a Cultural       Marxist Oligarchy. The looming specter of tyranny has been rising for a       long time in the one-sided suppression of free speech and insultingly       blatant double standards that serve only the oligarchs and their woke       useful-idiot minions. Blasphemy codes and punishments are back, but upside       down and backwards now. There is now no accountability for the crimes of       the elites, but increasingly severe and increasingly blatantly unjust       police-state crackdowns on their victims – worldwide. That's a recipe for       revolution beyond anything previously seen – and for resulting brutal       suppression like only the Antichrist can dish out.              Elon Musk's battle for restoration of freedom of speech on Twitter is a       microcosm of the state of new America. It is an impossible task because       the very mention of "free speech" has become "hate speech" under the new       regime. And it WILL be crushed because the oligarchs have the power and              [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
