If Progressives win the Culture War, would we still be living in a Free Society?

[Man of Ethics]

Thank G-d, Elon Musk now owns Twitter. But a won battle is not a won war. Progressives can still win the Culture War.

The year is 2030. All Social Media and all Internet Hosts have been pressured by Progressives to ban any material Progressives find offensive. The First Amendment is intact, yet no material critical of Progressives can be posted anywhere on the Internet. Is it still a Free Society?

Progressivism is an empty name. Liberalism is an empty name. They have no moral center, there is no right and wrong. They stand for.....NOTHING.

Agree 100%. Mostly they stand for Tyranny and Censorship. That is scary.

Stop calling them Progressives or Liberals, they are "MARXISTS". Period.

Nope, because stopping people from stating their religious beliefs openly, otherwise when they don't agree with what they've understood for ever to be known as sin or just plain old wrong doing, it's definitely not the definition of freedom at all anymore in this country.....

The citizen's have understood by reality and proof that such things are detrimental to one's religious value's, otherwise if those value's are somehow being made into being wrong, and therefore the system is against their standard's as are always based upon their moral's and ethic's learned in life, especially when it wasn't ever an issue before, so nope it won't be the definition of freedom anymore as we've known it, otherwise that had allowed Christian's to take a stand against sin that is operating freely in front of them and their families throughout time.

Snowflakes need safe places, but they give no refuge or quarter's to a Christian. Think about the evilness involved in that.

What is progressivism? I can't wrap my mind around a cause that seemingly is nothingingism nihilist contrarians funded by vague wealthy foreign groups that are outside of our representational politics. Anyone remember voting for George Soros? Or the Blackrock investment group?

Progressivism is the term most people associate with anti-Americanism these days, because it's a movement that wants to replace the old guard with their new form of Americanism, otherwise that will look nothing like America after all is said and done.

Oh it will look like America all right, South America...

One philosophical question I asked in op is the following:

Can a Society be Totalitarian within the bounds of the First Amendment? For instance, if Progressives would own all web hosting services, and thus no anti-Progressive website or forum would be able to exist.

Ah, a good old "them v. us" argument that's so wrong it's ridiculous.

The thing that harms the freedoms of Americans the most is the petty, disgusting, ridiculous fight between Republicans and Democrats. And you're a part of that.

Well done.

I guess both parties have significant faults. But Progressives are much more Totalitarian and much more punitive toward those who disagree with them.

How are progressice "much more Totalitarian" than Conservatives, exactly?
What is "Totalitatarian"? should be the first question you answer.

They impose censorship on all Social Media networks. They have destroyed careers of tens of thousands of people for disagreeing with them.

Your definition of "Totalitarian" is "impose censorship on Social Media networks" and "destroy careers of people who disagree with them"?

This is an example of Totalitarianism.

XXth Century Totalitarian Regimes imprisoned people who disagree with them and censored the Media. Almost the same.

Hey - the Stalinists are leaving town.

I don't give a flying fuck what party they're from.

Right now they're all Democrats, so they're going first.

If we ever get a right wing version, they'll go too.

Not fucking around

Stalinism will NOT BE ALLOWED in this country

No, it actually isn't.
How many totalitarian regimes in the 20th century "imposed censorship of social media networks"?
Did Hitler, Mussolini, Franco do it? How about Pol Pot?

All of them imposed Censorship on existing Media. Social Media did not exist then.

And yes, both parties have enormous flaws in their agenda.
