CBS 60 Minutes Promotes End to Free Speech, Blames Holocaust on Free Speech

14

The US media is no longer couching and obfuscating it’s support of censorship, it is cheer-leading it for it.
Last night, 60 Minutes worked to soften people to the idea of government censorship and criminalizing speech going so far as to blame the Holocaust on free speech.

CBs’s Margaret Brennan said that free speech caused Hitler to gas 6,000,000 Jews.

Later on in the evening, 60 Mins produced a piece praising the current German government’s censorship policies and promoted the concept of arresting people for “hate speech”.

You don’t hate them enough.

Recent events in Germany highlight the tension between freedom of speech and legal restrictions on certain online expressions. A notable case involved Marie-Thérèse Kaiser, a member of the AfD party, who was fined for posts about immigrant crime statistics, which were deemed by courts to incite hatred. Additionally, CBS aired footage of German police conducting a raid related to a social media meme, illustrating how Germany enforces its laws against online insults and misinformation. (Grok)

“Free speech needs boundaries… Without boundaries, a very small group of people can rely on endless freedom to say anything that they want, while everyone else is scared and intimidated,” says Josephine Ballon, CEO of HateAid.

This is so inverted, it is painful.

Information control is essential to autocratic, totalitarian rule which is why freedom of speech is the First (not the Second or the Fourth or the Eighth amendment). Free speech is the hill we die on.

Freedom of speech is the foundation of a free society. Without it, a tyrant can wreak havoc unopposed, while his opponents are silenced.

Putting up with being offended is essential in a pluralistic society in which people differ on basic truths. If a group will not bear being offended without resorting to violence, that group will rule unopposed while everyone else lives in fear, while other groups curtail their activities to appease the violent group. This results in the violent group being able to tyrannize the others.

Inoffensive speech needs no protection. The First Amendment was developed precisely in order to protect speech that was offensive to some, in order to prevent those who had power from claiming they were offended by speech opposing them and silencing the powerless.
