Moonbattery lays out some fact that illustrate just how much the Stalinist Left wants you to shut your yap!
In the West, we used to enjoy being able to speak our minds. Now we have cancel culture. Unless we share the pernicious and depraved ideology of the ruling class, we either keep our mouths shut or recite lies, lest our lives be destroyed by woke lynch mobs. This is for the best, according to academia:
“Cancel culture” has its benefits, according to an online anti-racism course being taught to over 100 British academics.
“Union Black,” a class being taught by The Open University, teaches professors that “In relation to racial/social justice, cancel culture has been shown to realize benefits.”
What else would you expect of the “Open” University in the land of George Orwell?
These benefits, according to class materials, include “holding people or entities accountable for immoral or unacceptable behavior” and “promoting collective action to achieve social justice and cultural change through social pressure.”
In other words speech codes. Not through legislation, yet, but the hope for the left, is that more and more and more people learn to self-silence. Allow me to remind everyone that self-silencing, is still evil. The only difference is that you are willing to shackle yourself.
