Berkeley, CA does not like free speech.
I wish Milo would address website discrimination by liberals working for the big search engines and social media.
We need some kind of USA.com search engine.
American Bolshevism on display and no one to stop them because of their First Amendment rights. We shall regret our timidity in not nipping it in the bud. I don’t think that the Founders would have accepted this kind of behavior.
In the case of Berkeley — live by the First Amendment, die by the First Amendment. Anarchy and destruction of public property is not protected by the FA.
I was alive during the Free Speech riots. They were not about Free Speech. They were about the ability to use 4-letter, Anglo-Saxon expletives in public. I distinctly recall the then-famous (now forgotten) rabble-rouser who insisted “Every Grandmother must be forced to say “F*(K” after being told such language was looked upon as a real assault by many elders. It was a micro-aggression before micro-agressions were invented. Not only did Gram have to listen to such language, she was to be forced to speak it.
It was the locutional equivalent of bra burning and females going topless in the street. Just one more step in the Gramsci agenda of coarsening public discourse. Which, by the way, has been a success. I’m now a 74-year-old woman and I cannot think of a word that shocks me or one I won’t use if circumstances warrant.
