Typical lip service to intellectualism, philosophy, and principles so long as it stays a vague, fuzzy, ill-defined intellectual mishmash, or technocratic legalese to rationalize Progressive/Leftist dictatorship.

Government power is not the same as economic power. Government collusion to suppress free speech is wholly different from big tech suppressing it, whether it be left or right. Government has a legal monopoly on the use of physical force to achieve its ends, and in principle that monopoly should only be directed in retaliation if necessary to apprehend criminals or repel foreign invaders. A rich man cannot force anyone to do anything, let alone to listen to or respect his big tech platform or media service. He also cannot monopolize any aspect of the economy unless he gets his gang elected and uses the government to give him special corporate privileges or welfare.

It is leftist control of the peaceful, and peaceful economics that is slowly killing the economy and killing the US, driving out manufacturing, weakening us relative to dangerous enemies, etc. New technology counteracts with more efficient means of production but will lose in the long run, if this immoral cancer of an ideology continues to gain dominance.

Why? At root every Socialist/Lefist/Progeressive means to achieve a wealth redistribution social end requires that police powers coerce the peaceful. It requires that wealth be involuntarily taken from those who peacefully earned it to provide benefits to those who did not. It requires a transfer of wealth that is akin to legalized thievery. At root, this fundamentally violates the principles of just society, no matter how much rationalization there is to the contrary, or how widely is this taught as an ideal in the government indoctrination centers (AKA public schools and universities) that we are coerced by police powers into supporting.

Do that regularly.

However, you have not provided any substantive proposition. If/when you do, and if it needs to be debunked, rest assured I will do so without delay.

Good. Neither have I

You commented to me first. Now, you're whining about it.
