The Will Hadrian Show -The Angry, Radical Left
When German chancellor, Angela Merkel was overheard asking Facebook CEO and social justice aficionado, Mark Zuckerberg to actively censor “racist posts” on Facebook, we were given all sorts of excuses as to why such vaguely defined terms wouldn’t be abused and extended to censor conservatives. These ranged from “don’t worry, it will only be limited to within Germany” to “it won’t be used to censor conservatives and other disagreeing opinions, just to filter hateful racism”.
That of course was all hogwash. Facebook has in-fact named itself the chief combatant in the authoritarian Left’s crusade against free speech and truth.
A week ago, the Facebook page: Justin Trudeau Not made a post highlighting the Canadian Prime Minister’s reluctance to address radical Islam, while lecturing Canadians on what it means to be “Canadian”. It shined light on Trudeau’s immediate condemnation of a pepper spray attack against Muslims in Vancouver, and his complete refusal to address a firearm attack by Muslims in Calgary.
The post was deemed to be “a violation of community standards” and was hastily deleted by Facebook.
If you thought that was just a one-off, a complete random act of censorship by Facebook, think again.
Last Friday, January 22nd, the very same Facebook page published a meme criticizing the western world’s Syrian Muslim refugee policy. Citing a study done by the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS). The meme stated that 450 out of 452 of suicide bombings in 2015 had been carried out by Muslims – yes, that’s 99.6%. don’t blame me, facts are facts.
Drawing from this statistic, the meme suggested that the growing mass Muslim refugee intake is probably not a great idea.
Here’s the original meme that was posted.
In essence the post was arguing a position – one that goes against the grain of political correctness – and supporting it with facts.
Some would call this engaging in political discourse. Others, including our white knight, Mark Zuckerberg, would call this a dangerous and destructive act of “hate speech”, encumbered with microaggressions. Hence, the post was yanked by Facebook the same day.
Here’s the message the admins got:
Moreover, a subsequent message warned the group that future posts of the same theme would lead to a permanent page ban.
Facebook has made it clear that contradictory views and positions are not welcome on their page. Although their Community Standards page states “Our mission is to give people the power to share and make the world more open and connected”. Their actions suggest otherwise. While posts and pages like the following remain live and active,
Conservatives and libertarians are being actively censored and forced out to preserve a fragile, bubble-wrapped, politically-correct safe-space.
Through the 20th century, when we fought the Cold War against the Soviets, we were fighting for liberty. The freedom to freely express ideas and opinions. The communists were fighting for the opposite; censorship and speech police.
Today, we’re fight that same battle against the cultural and political authoritarian Left.
They control most of academia on college campuses, they control the mainstream media and through Silicon Valley elites like Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg they seek full control over the World Wide Web.
For the sake of our liberty, we can’t let them win.
As Ronald Reagan eloquently said in 1964, “We’ll preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we’ll sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness.”
