Examples of Left-Wing Censorship

There are numerous examples of the left trying to silence dissenting voices. Here are a few:

• In 2017, a group of left-wing protesters shut down a speech by Milo Yiannopoulos at the University of California, Berkeley. The protesters used violence and intimidation to prevent Yiannopoulos from speaking, and the university administration did nothing to stop them.
• In 2018, YouTube banned a video by conservative commentator Steven Crowder. The video, which criticized left-wing activist Carlos Maza, was deemed to be "hate speech" by YouTube's moderators.
• In 2019, Twitter suspended the account of conservative commentator Laura Loomer. Loomer was suspended for violating Twitter's "hateful conduct" policy, after she tweeted that she would not vote for Ilhan Omar, a Muslim congresswoman.

These are just a few examples of the left's intolerance of free speech. This trend is continuing, and it is having a chilling effect on our ability to discuss important issues.

The Dangers of Censorship

Censorship is dangerous because it prevents us from having open and honest discussions about important issues. When people are afraid to speak their minds, they are less likely to challenge the status quo or to offer new ideas. This can lead to a society that is intellectually stagnant and unable to progress.

Censorship is also a violation of our First Amendment rights. The First Amendment guarantees our right to свободу слова, and this right is essential to a free and democratic society.

What We Can Do

We must not let the left silence our voices. We must stand up for our First Amendment rights and demand that the left respect our freedom of speech. Here are a few things we can do:

• Attend protests and rallies to support free speech.
• Write letters to our elected officials and demand that they protect our First Amendment rights.
• Support organizations that are fighting for free speech.
• Speak out against censorship, both online and offline.

If we do not stand up for our free speech rights, we will lose them. The left is determined to silence us, but we cannot let them win.
