The Age Of Intolerance: Cancel Culture''s War On Free Speech Authored by John W. Whitehead & Nisha Whitehead via The Rutherford Institute, Political correctness is fascism pretending to be manners. - George Carlin Cancel culture - political correctness amped up on steroids, the self-righteousness of a narcissistic age, and a mass-marketed pseudo-morality that is little more than fascism disguised as tolerance - has shifted us into an Age of Intolerance, policed by techno-censors, social media bullies, and government watchdogs. Everything is now fair game for censorship if it can be construed as hateful, hurtful, bigoted or offensive provided that it runs counter to the established viewpoint. In this way, the most controversial issues of our dayrace, religion, sex, sexuality, politics, science, health, government corruption, police brutality, etc.have become battlegrounds for those who claim to believe in freedom of speech but only when it favors the views and positions they support.

Will Justice Sotomayor Be Banned On Twitter? Don''t Bet On It Authored by Jonathan Turley, During the oral arguments over the Biden vaccine mandates last week, two largely disconnected views emerged from the right and left of the Supreme Court. Conservative justices hammered away at the underlying authority of the Biden Administration to issue these mandates, particularly after President Joe Bidens own Chief of Staff admitted that the agency rules were workarounds of his constitutional limitations . Conversely, the liberal justices used the equity aspects of an injunction to raise more emotive, if not apocalyptic, arguments on the dangers of Covid-19 . That led Justice Elena Sotomayor to make a claim about children with Covid that even the Washington Post called absurdly high and worthy of four Pinocchios. The incident raised a sensitive issue for some of us who oppose the massive censorship programs on Twitter and other social media platforms. Justice Sotomayor was spreading disinformation on Covid-19, so could she be barred from Twitter?

Fourth Turning 2022: Bad-Moon Rising Authored by Jim Quinn via The Burning Platform blog, Try to unlearn the obsessive fear of death (and the anxious quest for death avoidance) that pervades linear thinking in nearly every modern society. The ancients knew that, without periodic decay and death, nature cannot complete its full round of biological and social change. Without plant death, weeds would strangle the forest. Without human death, memories would never die, and unbroken habits and customs would strangle civilization. Social institutions require no less. Just as floods replenish soil and fires rejuvenate forests, a Fourth Turning clears out societys exhausted elements and creates an opportunity. Strauss & Howe The Fourth Turning Institutions will be increasingly bossy, limiting personal freedoms, chastising bad manners, and cleansing the culture. Powerful new civic organizations will make judgments about which individual rights deserve respect and which do not. Criminal justice will become swift and rough, trampling on some innocents to protect an endangered and desperate society from those feared to be guilty.

LinkedIn is planning audio events | Photo by Silas Stein/picture alliance via Getty Images The live audio feature LinkedIn confirmed it was working on last year will reportedly debut later this month in beta as part of the companys new events platform. Microsoft-owned LinkedIn said last March that it was doing early tests to create a unique audio experience connected to your professional identity. According to TechCrunch , LinkedIns all-virtual events platform will eventually include moderated panel-style discussions, roundtables, and fireside chats, with the formats left up to the event hosts. The virtual events will be built on LinkedIns in-house tools, and event participants will potentially be able to converse with each other during and after the live events. The video version is expected to be available later in the spring. TechCrunch reports that unlike other companies with audio chat features, such as Twitters Spaces, LinkedIn doesnt plan to include ticketed events, where organizers could charge for access.
