OPINION: The freedom of lie

by BRENT REGAN/Common Sense
| December 15, 2023 1:00 AM

The freedom of speech is dead. It has been for a while. If you doubt this, try saying something that is against the progressive woke narrative. The woke social justice Brown Shirts will mercilessly attack you, your employment, your business and your neighbors with the goal of canceling you, driving you from the public square or from gainful employment and even into jail. Openly criticize, or even tell an inconvenient truth about a “protected class,” and life, as you know it, is over. 

These progressive fascists use the East German Stasi methodology of guilt by association, or even proximity. If someone takes a picture of you with the wrong person in the same frame, you are guilty. If you don’t denounce whomever they say you need to denounce when they snap their fingers, you are guilty. If you do accept their narrative and denounce who or what they say, you are guilty.
