Why is censorship the go-to tactic for leftists? Well, if you ask them they won’t deny their love affair with the memory hole. In fact, most leftists will vehemently defend censorship as absolutely moral and for the “greater good.” Their position is basically this: We live in a “society”, and some ideas, thoughts and words are “dangerous” and destructive to that society. Therefore, those ideas and words must be eliminated from open discussion so they can protect society from itself.
Dr. Robert Malone, one of the two medical scientists whose viral interviews with Joe Rogan has prompted calls to censor the No. 1 podcaster, is challenging a “fact check” of some of his statements by a reporter for Britain’s Daily Mail.
Malone wrote a letter to the editors of the British global news giant regarding a Daily Mail article headlined “The truth about Joe Rogan’s controversial guests” by Harriet Alexander.
The veteran vaccine inventor, who patented the technology behind the mRNA COVID vaccines manufactured by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, told the Daily Mail’s editors he wants “a public retraction with apology for the numerous false statements” made by Alexander.
The federal NDP is advocating for the government to ban the display of three different hate symbols, which leader Jagmeet Singh says are being used to mobilize movements.
Bill C-229, tabled by NDP MP Peter Julian last week, would prohibit the “display or sale” of symbols or emblems such as the Nazi swastika, the Ku Klux Klan’s insignia, and the Confederate flag.

Famed podcaster Joe Rogan has apologized for using the N-word during past podcast episodes after a compilation of him using the word surfaced on the Internet amid calls to cancel him from Spotify.
Never apologize.
Liberal MP Taleeb Noormohamed compared the funds raised for the Truckers for Freedom Convoy to “terrorist financing” on Friday.
Noormohamed made the comment while answering questions about forcing fundraising platform GoFundMe to testify before a parliamentary committee.
Actress Gina Carano trended on Twitter this week after news broke that “The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg would be suspended for two weeks for controversial comments she made about Jews, race, and the Holocaust.
Joe Rogan has pledged to try harder to offer more balanced views on his podcast, after he was criticised by Neil Young and Joni Mitchell for helping to spread Covid misinformation.
The Canadian musicians asked to have their music pulled from the streaming platform as a result.
Spotify has since said it is working to add advisory warnings to any podcast discussing Covid-19.
Scientific American’s broadside against E. O. Wilson fits a fashionable, science-denying trend.
A strange thing is happening to the venerable magazine Scientific American. It has decided to kick its science-loving readers in the teeth and embrace a modern equivalent of Lysenkoism—the doctrine that required Soviet biologists to ignore evolution and the genetics of plants.
The comedy world is apparently terrified by a little diversity of opinion.
As a regular contributor to spiked, and a comedian often regarded, darkly, as ‘right-wing’, I long ago learned to adopt the creed of Millwall Football Club – ‘No one likes us, we don’t care’.
Still, I must admit that events of last week, concerning my association not with this august organ, but with those relative newcomers to national opprobrium and pariah status among the bien pensant, GB News, left me a little rattled.
Neil Young’s censorious crusade against Joe Rogan exemplifies the Left’s increasing hostility to free speech.
Earlier this week, legendary Canadian-American musician Neil Young laid out an ultimatum to the streaming music service Spotify. “I want you to let Spotify know immediately TODAY that I want all my music off their platform,” he wrote in an open letter he posted on his website. “They can have [Joe] Rogan or Young. Not both.”
Neil Young hates oil workers having jobs as well.
Comics legend Mike Baron and his pro-cop comic book “Thin Blue Line” are unwelcome on Facebook or Reddit, despite not breaking any of the rules stated on either platform. Facebook has so far blocked all attempts by Baron and his team to use Facebook ads. The largest comic book social media page, the “r/comics” subreddit, which has more than 1.7 million subscribers, has now blocked all posts about Baron’s comic, and, it seems, this author.
Left-wing rocker Neil Young is now pushing for other artists to pull their music from Spotify, calling the audio streaming service a “damaging force” that is causing “24 year old’s” to end up on “the wrong side of the truth.”
Young’s call comes after Spotify said it would pull the singer’s music from its platform following his demand that the company either remove his music or blacklist Joe Rogan and his popular podcast.
Survey data show that Americans under 30 prize cancel culture over liberty.
The clash between socialist and liberal economics defined the late twentieth century, and this century brings a cultural version of that struggle. Today’s culture wars pit advocates of equal outcomes and special protection for identity groups against defenders of due process, equal treatment, scientific reason, and free speech. Our political map is taking shape around this new divide between what I will call cultural socialism and cultural liberalism.
