Summary

We should all take a moment and recognize the ultimate sacrifice made by innumerable military heroes. One important way to honour the fallen is to contribute in any and all possible ways in defending our free, liberal, and secular societies from illiberal forces of intolerance and hate. _______________________________________ If you appreciate my work and would like to support it: https://subscribestar.com/the-saad-truth https://patreon.com/GadSaad https://paypal.me/GadSaad _______________________________________ This clip was originally posted on my YouTube channel as THE SAAD TRUTH_182 on May 30, 2016: https://youtu.be/Y8SYA1UnaGo _______________________________________ The Parasitic Mind: How Infectious Ideas Are Killing Common Sense (paperback edition) was released on October 5, 2021.

0:00.0	This is Gad's at for the Sad Truth.
0:02.8	Today in the United States Memorial Day is being observed.
0:05.7	This is the day where people hopefully stop, recognize, and honor
0:10.6	the ultimate sacrifice that has been paid by innumerable heroes in the defense of free
0:16.9	and liberal societies.
0:19.6	Of course there are many ways by which we could all contribute to the Battle of Ideas, to the defense of liberal,
0:26.2	tolerant, pluralistic, and free societies.
0:30.0	So my contribution for today was to post a set of tweets which were kindly called together

1:31.4	They do not de-platform. they do not seek other ways to
1:34.7	harass, threaten, and silence. Only those with weak ideologies act as
1:41.0	fascists. They can't win the Battle of Ideas. There is nothing more threatening to
1:46.5	totalitarian ideologies than the disinfectant known as Freedom of Speech. It is more powerful than an army of
