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

[scruffy]

No, it actually isn't.
How many totalitarian regimes in the 20th century "imposed censorship of social media networks"?

ALL OF THEM, ya dumb fuckin asshole.

Did Hitler, Mussolini, Franco do it? How about Pol Pot?

Were you under the mistaken impression that social media has something to do with technology?

 

[frigidweirdo]

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

Yes, but just because they impose censorship on the media doesn't make them "Totalitarian"

The Spanish flu was called the "Spanish flu" because Spain was the only country reporting it properly. All the others, including the US, had censorship on it.

I told you that you needed to define "Totalitarian" before talking about this, you didn't do it, and what you're saying doesn't make sense.

WHAT IS "TOTALITARIAN"?

Why don't you expect everyone else to do your work for you?

You know how to use Google, dontcha?

Maybe we could stop approaching every disagreement we have with other Americans as a "war".

Just a little wishful thinking there. Looks like that's our level now.

And there ya go.

 

[Mikeoxenormous]

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.

 

[scruffy]

And there ya go.

No, there YOU go, fucktard.

You have no business using the word "our". You have ZERO idea what's going on in OUR neck o the woods.

Stop lying to yourself, and to everyone else.

What needs to happen is more political parties, and that'll only happen with a change in how people vote to Proportional Representation.

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?

The culture war IS critical theory in action.

 

[initforme]

What's the "culture war"? I live according toy own "culture" and traditions.

 

[Mac1958]

No, there YOU go, fucktard.

You have no business using the word "our". You have ZERO idea what's going on in OUR neck o the woods.

Stop lying to yourself, and to everyone else.

And you clearly don't know the perspectives and priorities of others. Nor do you care.

I use the term "our" because I still want to believe we're in this together, even if people like you have been manipulated into believing the opposite.

 

[Mac1958]

Yes. We have to change the system. We're getting closer to "do or die" territory on that.

That would be great! Hopefully other parties and Special Interest Groups would be represented in the governments!

If you check out PR around the world, you'd see if it were done properly, that would be the case. Dictator Demublicans don't want it though, it'd take their power.

 

[Rigby5]

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


View attachment 717882

There is no such thing as a "Marxist".
Marxism was totally a theoretical attempt to figure out how to reduce the extreme power the capitalists gained from the industrial revolution, and it turned out that unions and government regulations were the solution.
Karl Marx never actually tried to implement anything.
It is ONLY theoretical musings.

No we won't be free.

 

[Rigby5]

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?

The Progressive movement started by workers in WI in the 1890s, who realized that large corporations were taking over, and a populist movement was need to reform things like working conditions.
Progressive just means "improvement".
It is the opposite of Conservative since that means leave things the way they were.
