It was a just a trickle a few years back now, its a tsunami. Practically everywhere you look prognazis are destroying free speech. Some will says its fascism some communism, but the difference between progtards and totalitarians is becoming razor thin and getting thinner all the time.
BTW Note--- I don't think that all progs are prognazis, BUT the ones who are killing free speech to destroy dissent have earned the name. If the shoe fits....
A college professor in Georgia is drawing criticism for his online comments about illegal immigrants, including his contention that people in the U.S. illegally can be a drain on the nation's economy.
"If you are going to reward illegal immigrants, there will be more illegal immigrants," Fang Zhou, an associate professor of history at Georgia Gwinnett College near Atlanta, told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.[/quote]
A Texas school board has voted unanimously to fire a high school English teacher who reached out to President Donald Trump on Twitter and encouraged him to kick illegal immigrants out of her Fort Worth district.[/quote]

In the mind of prognazis people should lose their jobs for telling the truth that illegal immigration costs taxpayers. and should be fired for advocating the government enforce the governments laws.
Speaking of free speech being destroyed, did you see what happened to Conservative MP, Michael Cooper?

It's the same here. Any study that seeks to conclude that drilling in the Arctic will have catastrophic consequences for example, will find it much easier to get funding than a study that seeks a link to Inuit prosperity and minimalized environmental impact.

Prognazis boycott Home Depot stores because the founder supports Trump.
https://dailycaller.com/2019/07/11/home-depot-founder-responds-to-boycotts-in-fiery-facebook-post-it-angers-me/?utm_medium=email
Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus responded to boycotts of his stores in a Facebook post Thursday, saying "it angers" him to be treated so viciously simply for expressing support for the president.
"I woke up this morning thinking it was going to be another great day," he wrote. "I've been celebrating with friends, family and the community since I turned 90 ... All that happiness blew up because I said in a newspaper interview that I have supported and will continue to support Donald Trump."
"Boom!" he continued. "Negative stories... vicious threats, without cause, to boycott the company that has enabled my foundation to give billions to support autism, medical research, education, heart and neurological issues like stroke, and to help our veterans. ... The people who work there are affiliated with both political parties or no party at all ... Why would people want to hurt them?"
Liberals and anti-Trumpers began harassing Marcus and boycotting Home Depot after he told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution he supports Trump, and the paper reported he was a top donor to the Trump campaign. The focus of the story was on his philanthropy — the billionaire plans to give 80 to 90 percent of his wealth to charity after he dies.
He concluded the post by saying it "saddens" and "angers" him that he and employees of Home Depot would be treated this way simply because he expressed his feelings about the president, but that it won't stop him from doing more for the world in the remainder of his life than all of his critics combined.
"It saddens me that our country has come to this, where I, as a private citizen, cannot express my feelings," he wrote. "It angers me and it saddens me, but it sure as hell is not going to stop me. If you thought it would, you've got the wrong guy. In the next ten years, God willing, I will accomplish more to save this world than my critics will do even if they had forty lifetimes."

Media Matters published a list Tuesday detailing what it called "extremist figures" who have been invited to the White House social media summit.
Some of the figures on the list hit back at Media Matters, calling the publication a "joke."
The article included PragerU and Sen. Marsha Blackburn on its list.
Media Matters published a list Tuesday detailing right-wing "extremist figures" who are invited to the White House social media summit Thursday, and some of them are hitting back.
The list, written by Alex Kaplan, includes PragerU, the Heritage Foundation, journalist Tim Pool, Human Events publisher Will Chamberlain, Turning Point USA founder and president Charlie Kirk, TPUSA chief creative officer Benny Johnson, and writer Brent Bozell, among others.
Politicians like Republican Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn and Republican Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz are featured on the list as well.
"If Media Matters labels me an 'extremist' for making funny conservative memes — I wonder what term they would use to describe Antifa members, who on the last day of Pride Month targeted and beat a gay, minority journalist in the streets to the point of his brain hemorrhaging," Johnson told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
"His name is Andy Ngo. A quick search of the Media Matters website shows zero results calling Antifa members 'extremists' for this violent, hate-crime behavior. Yet my memes are the problem. What a hypocritical, broken, sad, sunken little place Media Matters is."
Kirk also responded to being labeled an extremist, calling Media Matters a "joke."
"We used to reserve words like extremist to describe people who took down the World Trade Center, or who wear masks and then vandalize universities and assault reporters," Kirk told the DCNF. "Media Matters cheapens that word and proves what a joke it is by using it to describe mainstream organizations like TPUSA, Heritage and PragerU."

America's free speech crisis
The First Amendment to the American Constitution was proposed by the 1788 Virginia ratification convention during its narrow 89 to 79 vote to ratify the Constitution.
Virginia's resolution held that the free exercise of religion, right to assembly and free speech could not be cancelled, abridged or restrained. These Madisonian principles were eventually ratified by the states on March 1, 1792. Gettysburg College professor Allen C. Guelzo, in his article "Free Speech and Its Present Crisis," appearing in the autumn 2018 edition of City Journal, explores the trials and tribulations associated with the First Amendment.
The early attempts to suppress free speech were signed into law by President John Adams and became known as the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798.
Later attempts to suppress free speech came during the Civil War, when President Abraham Lincoln and his generals attacked newspapers and suspended habeas corpus.
It wasn't until 1919, in the case of Abrams vs. United States, when the U.S. Supreme Court finally and unambiguously prohibited any kind of censorship.
Today, there is growing contempt for free speech, most of which are found on the nation's college and university campuses.
Guelzo cites the free speech vision of Princeton University professor Carolyn Rouse, who is chairperson of the department of Anthropology.
Rouse shared her vision on speech during last year's Constitution Day lecture. She called free speech a political illusion, a baseless ruse to enable people to "say whatever they want, in any context, with no social, economic, legal or political repercussions."
As an example, she says that a climate change skeptic has no right to make "claims about climate change, as if all the science discovered over the last X-number of centuries were irrelevant."
Rouse is by no means unique in her contempt for our First Amendment rights. Faculty leaders of the University of California consider certain statements racist microagressions: "America is a melting pot"; "America is the land of opportunity"; "Everyone can succeed in this society, if they work hard enough"; and "There is only one race, the human race." The latter statement is seen as denying the individual as a racial/cultural being.
Then there's "I believe the most qualified person should get the job." That's "racist" speech because it gives the impression that "people of color are given extra unfair benefits because of their race."
Other seemingly innocuous statements deemed unacceptable are: "When I look at you, I don't see colour," or "Affirmative action is racist." Perhaps worst of all is, "Where are you from, or where were you born?"
We should reject any restriction on free speech. We might ask ourselves, "What's the true test of one's commitment to free speech?" It does not come when people permit others to say or publish ideas with which they agree. The true test of one's commitment to free speech comes when others are permitted to say and publish ideas they deem offensive.
The test for one's commitment to freedom of association is similar. Christian Americans have been hounded for their refusal to cater same-sex weddings.
For those who support such attacks, we might ask them whether they would seek prosecution of the owner of a Jewish delicatessen who refused to provide services for a neo-nazi affair. Should a black catering company be forced to cater a Ku Klux Klan affair? Should the NAACP be forced to open its membership to racist skinheads?
Should the Congressional Black Caucus be forced to open its membership to white members of Congress?
The true test of a person's commitment to freedom of association does not come when he permits people to associate in ways he finds acceptable. It comes when he permits people to voluntarily associate in ways he deems offensive. I am afraid that too many of my fellow Americans are hostile to the principles of liberty. Most people want liberty for themselves. I differ. I want liberty for me and liberty for my fellow man.
Freedom of speech is anathema to socialism, which is fundamentally a complete fabrication of flawed ideology based on lies that freedom of speech challenges.

They probably would if whites were required to apologize for being white first.

An East Indian Trump supporter gets the shit beaten out of him by progtard mob for wearing MAGA hat.

NYC Man Says Teenagers Beat Him For Wearing A MAGA Hat
A local man New York City man said that he was beaten by a group of teenagers in Manhattan for wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat.
Jahangir "John" Turan, an art gallery owner, purchased a MAGA hat Tuesday after visiting Trump Tower, Fox 5 reported. He told reporters Thursday that he was attacked by a group of about 15 "kids" on Canal Street and had his head smashed into a scaffold.
The kids yelled "Fuck Trump" and began to stomp on him before smashing his head, he said. Turan fractured his cheek and has a swollen eye, and he is checking to see if there may be permanent damage to his eyesight.
There have been past reports of people being harassed and beaten up for wearing a MAGA hat. A Hispanic women said she was nearly assaulted by someone who took offense to the hat in April, and a legal American citizen from Togo alleged that he was attacked in April as well for sporting the gear.

Michele Tafoya risked everything to start her own Freedom Convoy
https://www.theblaze.com/op-ed/whitlock-michele-tafoya-risked-everything-to-start-her-own-freedom-convoy?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20220217Trending-Tafoya&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Breaking%20News
Michele Tafoya quit America's No. 1 TV show to help a black man win the governor's office in Minnesota. She'll soon be castigated as racist, misguided, and stupid.
That's the state of this country's corporate and social media-led racial discourse. The cost of choosing the wrong political team is your public reputation. Tafoya's new boss, Kendall Qualls, is a Republican. And despite his black skin, black wife, and black children, Qualls is just another black face of white supremacy.
And, wait for it, that makes Tafoya a Proud Girl and a potential insurrectionist.
Tafoya exited NBC's "Football Night in America," where she was the show's sideline reporter for 11 years, so she could comfortably express her political views, co-chair Qualls' bid for governor, and fight the leftists rolling back this nation's racial progress.
We're entitled. We assume the racial discord festering in our society will go away. It won't. Racial division is the primary power-retention strategy of the Democratic Party, Big Tech, and media elites. Tafoya walked away from a seven-figure job to join the fight to save America. On his campaign webpage, Qualls attacks the way Minnesota politicians handled the George Floyd aftermath, the "defund the police" movement, and the left's race-bait strategy.
"Americans are tired of being bullied by the left and exhausted by constant accusations of systemic racism. In fact, this is the least racist period in our country's history. My parents and grandparents would have loved to have grown up in the America I grew up in. We are not going to be the generation that lost America. We are going to be the generation that saved it, restored it and passed it onto the next generation."
It is people like this that may be able to rescue America from its own madness.
But they are in for a battle.

I understand the feeling
We have one advantage over them. We can elect a decent govt fairly soon & "maybe" get ourselves back on track.
The Libs have cooked their goose totally now, so we will be able to oust our garbage & will
Thanks to T-2's overreach +++, we will now get one last chance
The US cannot and never will again. Their left is too engrained in every vein no matter who wins and except for the upcoming midterms, that's the end of anyone else every winning an election against the left in the US
Look at some of the wishywashy Rhinos (who in fact are on the other side) even if the Reps won

Like most Canadians, I too believe it's time for Justin Trudeau to be fired..
But, I don't have much faith that a new government will fix all the problems he created.
My faith in repair is not 100
But, I hope
When I look at a country now that can't easily deal with a few protesters, it's hard to think we are much of anything .. and now the world knows how impotent we are ac_blush
Yes, US cities had similar - The difference being it was not because they couldn't stop it, it was because their local govts did not want to stop it
Our Govt & the City of Ottawa does want to top it but to date has been unable to without triggering a shameful draconian law

Justin Trudeau is not the core of your problems.
It is the people that put him in his position. The voters, the money men, the corporations and globalists.

You need to consider the bigger picture.
Trudeau does not act alone, and without input from advisors and Cabinet.
They in turn consider, above all else, the electoral impact of decisions made. If Trudeau becomes a liability, they lose their jobs.
Local members will be feeding in their reading of the mood of the people, and based on that intelligence, every utterance is carefully crafted and scripted.
Trudeau is clearly informed that he has mass support still, and that his position is not causing electoral damage. Whether that is right or wrong, only an election will tell. But he is clearly playing to his base, and that is clear evidence that the division and spite we first witnessed in the US has spread to Canada.
This is not about Covid any more. This is YOUR Waterloo.

I disagree. The LPC has become a cult of personality around Justin Trudeau. I wrote in another thread that in the past there were factions within Trudeau's party that would have called for his resignation for a lot less than what he has done to tens of thousands of hardworking, law abiding citizens.
For the past five years, the LPC caucus didn't need to rock the boat because there main oppsotion, the Consevatives had back to back weak leaders. That is very likely to change, which may cause the LPC caucus to grow a spine and revolt against Trudeau if they want to win another election.
Well, it's pretty much a given now that T-2 cannot match a "good" conservative leader .. their choice of "winner" leader could well play a role inside the Lib Party with regard to leader

I believe a strong Tory leader will force the LPC to revert to the LPC of the 90's and early 2000's and turn on their own. Barring a major scandal, Trudeau has little hope of defeating PP. The LPC caucus knows that.

If that is correct, and I have no reason to think it's not, I will assume that if Trudeau has a few foxes in his hen house, he will carefully count the numbers every time he opens his yap.
I think the presumption that Trudeau is a dead duck is more hope than prediction. PM's don't act like assholes unless other assholes give him support.
That is not to say that something doesn't seem rotten in Canadian politics.

I'm not writing Mr Trudeau's eulogy just yet. His greatest strength has always been that he is covered in teflon. A compliant media helped with that.
Something is different this time. Canadians know it and now the world knows it. All it takes is one member of his caucus to stand up to him and create a domino effect. It has happened to former leaders of this party. In fact, it doesn't even have to be within the LPC caucus. There are grumblings about all of this within his coalition partner, the far left New Democratic Party. I've never seen Trudeau so vulnerable.
Well, you certainly deserve an early election to clear the air.

Unfortunately, the Conservatives recently fired their leader. They won't have a permanent leader until mid spring. Realistically, for Trudeau to kicked to the curb, it will take a year.

History is usually the best predictor of what will happen in the future. All the stars have to align as they did in that past for that to happen. The ball is in the Tory's court. They cannot pick another weak leader.

Yes. Growing up in a small country town for me had much socialism. Unfortunately people even knew what one had for breakfast and throwing one's keys in a "communal" bowl seems to be quite popular back in the day.

In Perth, Western Australia, it was a mission to get a root sometimes. It can be a very cliquey crowd, particularly when it came to dating. Swinging singles was developed to stack the odds in one's favour. I did it three times tops with single partners. It was an eye-opener for me I'll tell you that much.
