No, I did not totally ignore. But I did say to someone who asked:
"Seriously why is this guy still getting air time?"
I do understand that YouTube and nearly all the *spaces* for public discourse are privately owned and thus 'private spaces'. If you listened to the CNN presentation I posted where the ADL director suggested how it could come about that Carlson could be gotten rid of (pressure on advertisers and other machinations) it was clearly expressed there and I did very well understand what is portended. These plans and policies are just now being instituted. We will notice them more and more in the coming months and years.
But if you think these things through you will easily see that what we used to call 'public square' and 'public space' is now wholly owned by private corporations. And they can, technically, refuse to report anything not of their choosing. They can, technically, limit all speech.
This is 'problematic' as we say today. In a definite sense it is unprecedented as well. There are some, I am one, that would advocate for newer and modernized legislation that would extend free speech right into those electronic domains that have replaced or superseded the former 'public square'. The reasons are obvious. But it is a troublesome and problematic area.
When one examines your thought -- the things you say -- one discovers there intolerance, illiberalism and attitudes and proto-policies that have more in common with fascistic regimes (the former USSR, Maoist China and the CCP today) than with 'classic liberal concepts and values'.
You
do not come out boldly in defense of a general encouragement of the circulation if ideas in all media, as a matter of accepted and necessary cultural protocol, but you definitely take the side of those who are today actively working
to shut it down. This is a curious shift or transvaluation if I take you as a Left-Progressive exponent.
My my how things change!
