0:00.0 | The complete and total lack of self-awareness from people associated with far left never ceases to amaze me. |
0:06.0 | These groups, revolutionary anarchists, socialists and communists, know full well. |
0:10.5 | The government doesn't like them, spies on them, infiltrates their ranks. |
0:14.5 | They know full well that given the opportunity, their voices will be shut down yet for some reason they actually advocate censorship. |
0:21.0 | We saw many people associated with the right to get banned and they cheered for it. |
0:25.0 | And then when Twitter came and banned some of the people associated with the far left, they complained about it. |
0:30.0 | Well, surprise, surprise, this is exactly why people who are pro-free expression have defended the right to an individual's free expression, even when that speech is detestable. |
0:39.0 | Because if they have the power to ban them, they have the power to ban you. |

1:17.0 | So there are a few other bits of activist-y block list type things going on that we'll talk about, but today, I want to take a look at what's going on with censorship because it is going beyond just Twitter. |
1:27.0 | There's been a huge wave of censorship across the board starting with Alex Jones and now seeping out even into the far left. |
1:33.0 | So how exactly do you think the far left responded to this kind of censorship against their cause? |
1:39.0 | But before we get started, let me give a quick shout out to today's sponsor, Newsvoice. |
