As someone with background working in National Security.. You arenâ(TM)t exaggerating if you say we have slipped into authoritarian mode. People have this idea thereâ(TM)s some sticker or flag thatâ(TM)s waved where itâ(TM)s like âoeoh look now we are in a fascist state!â It doesnâ(TM)t work like that. You only need to read a kit virtually any other fascist country to see it happens exactly like thisâ¦

As someone who worked Intel under Obamaâ(TM)s he didnâ(TM)t in fact do âoeanything he wantedâ he was a pedant when it came to working âoefor the American peopleâ you donâ(TM)t know how many troves of folks, brilliant folks our country needs, left their respective agencies because they cannot stomach working for this administration⦠Itâ(TM)s an absolute joke. Donâ(TM)t compare Obama to a dude who attempted an insurrection and has 30 felonies⦠please

Seriously.. We live in an authoritarian state at this point. I say that as someone who has worked in the intel. sector for some time. The politicization of national security along with everything else this administration is doing. Time to face the facts honestlyâ¦

Much like all dogmatic beliefs, a radical belief in total and utter "Free Speech" ignores the complexities and realities of speech itself. "Free Speech" doesn't mean someone can scream "BOMB" on an airplane or "Fire!" In a building without such things actually being there. The extremism this era seems to have produced is far more troubling than any of the actual issues. We all know the difference between hate speech and true free speech that attempts to honestly improve the well-fare of humanity. If you don't.. Well I guess you are probably a big part of the problem. Dogma isn't just found in religious contexts... It is everywhere (conservatives and liberals are both guilty..) and should be identified as such. As for Jordan Peterson's platform... I have no doubt the website will simply turn into a radical group haven. Most of people attracted to such platforms aren't interested in free speech to discuss ideas as they might claim. They simply want a barricade and stage for spreading hatred and inciting actions that are synchronized with their short-sighted views.
