Once donvict can finish the creation of The Ministry of Love, he'll be able to sic the Thought Police on these illegal news outlets.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Truth will be very busy putting out the real news. Faux, Breitbart, Newsmax, OAN, and a whole lot of podcasters and youtubers are going to be subsidiaries in this new glorious world of free speech maximalism.
For how many years have Republicans gone on about the constitution and the first amendment, and cried censorship at the slightest criticism of their utterances? And now Trump is explicitly having people arrested and deported for vocing opinions, and Republicans range from silent to enthusiastic. They never believed in the constitution or in free speech. They just didn't like it when people disagreed with them.
They never believed in the constitution or in free speech. They just didn't like it when people disagreed with them.
The evidence has always been in their actions. Hate speech hampers freedom of speech, and they wanted to protect hate speech. This puts them in direct conflict with a genuinely free society.
Preserving the greatest amount of freedom for the greatest amount of people usually means giving up some smaller specific freedoms, like, you know, the freedom to threaten the lives of minorities.
Personally, I think they should be allowed to threaten - and for those minorities and good folk to openly promise bloody murder if the racists tried their luck.
The right-wing traditionally has a monopoly on violence, not just physical, but also in speech. When you are free of consequence, your reach will grasp ever further. Like what Trump is doing with his EOs.
Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler’s collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed. Kennedy now guards a copy of My New Order in a closet at his office, as if it were a grenade. Hitler’s speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveal his extraordinary ability as a master propagandist.
“Did your cousin John give you the Hitler speeches?” I asked Trump.
Trump hesitated. “Who told you that?”
“I don’t remember,” I said.
“Actually, it was my friend Marty Davis from Paramount who gave me a copy of Mein Kampf, and he’s a Jew.” (“I did give him a book about Hitler,” Marty Davis said. “But it was My New Order, Hitler’s speeches, not Mein Kampf. I thought he would find it interesting. I am his friend, but I’m not Jewish.”)
Hitler’s speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveal his extraordinary ability as a master propagandist.
That's not quite true. Hitler wasn't an effective speaker when he started, knew it, and got a lot of coaching. From the beginning, when he was an Army snitch spying on the fascists, he was being groomed.
One day he'll be convicted in the court of public opinion but by then Not Sure will be the smartest person in history and President Camacho will pardon him.
I'd say he's gonna be the bad guy in the documentary, but he's gonna be the bad guy in the cautionary warning we leave to any spacefaring species that finds our ruins on the dead earth.
Soon, he will begin borrowing from Putin's book by making criticising the government illegal, and forcing news organizations to register as foreign agents.
