In this episode of the What's Wrong With America? podcast, we discuss #cancelculture and political correctness.
The quasi-religious and totally insane
political orthodoxy of the far Left has brought us "safe spaces"
and "trigger warnings" and an inability to have grown-up
conversations about important issues because the facts could hurt
someone's feelings. True Liberals are left scratching their heads
in confusion: when did the Left, traditionally the defenders of
#freespeech in America, start acting like 17th-century inquisitors
and enforcing blasphemy laws? We discuss what's gone wrong, why
free speech is important, and the danger of allowing a powerful
minority to shut down rational discourse because they don't like
contrary opinions.
