Audience Reviews

GenerationofSwine 10/10 Jan 14, 2023
We have gone from Noam Chomsky, who famously said that you can only have one or two positions on free speech....to a left wing that wants to censor anything remotely offensive to them.

The left has gone from this wise old sage to spray painting "Liberals get the bullet too" at protests they are countering to squash free speech.

And its gotten to the point where Margaret Atwood had her feminist credentials stripped away, Howard Zinn passed away, anything that is disagreed with is labeled as hate speech...and anyone you disagree with is a Nazi that needs to be hit.

The old guard has died and a new insanity has taken its place.

We need Noam Chomsky back, we need his politics to return. We need that level-headed reason to come back into the left. Because, clearly, when we stop listening to people like him we open ourselves up for people like Stalin.

You need to watch this film, you need to pay attention to it, because right now the left is doing it wrong.
