No. That is your silly opinion. Apparently you don't know the difference. You share that fault with Prager. He regularly believes his opinions are facts.
Are you under the illusion (lie) that Google and youtube are "censoring" Prager U?
I'm a liberal democrat. I believe in the Bill of Rights and in democracy. Of course I wouldn't shut it down. Have you heard any Democrats calling for Prager U to be shut down. I trust the American people to see through his right wing propaganda.
You believe in the Bill of Rights and democracy. Do you believe in the Civil Rights Act of 1964, a hard earned statement of equality under the law produced through democracy? CRT doesn't work if we follow it, as clearly pointed out by Mr. Kendi:
"The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination."
-Kendi "how to be an anti-racist"
Civil Rights Act of 1964:
Title VI: No person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.
Title VII prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex and national origin.
I do wish CRT advocates would be honest and start calling for the repeal of the Civil Rights Act, much like California tried with prop 16. I suspect they know what happens to their broader support when they do that, however.
And I trust the American people to see through this epidemic of left wing propaganda.
By the way, Google/YouTube have censored Prager U videos: not all, but some. That is still censorship. But it's all in the service of a greater good, right?
No. They have not been censored. What you are referring to is self-censorship. All anyone has to do to see any Prager U video is to turn off the parental controls. Prager's claims of "censorship" are a perfect example of how he loves to play the victim and the martyr. His propaganda techniques are working on you. He has you irrationally fearing "the left".
I also have a silly opinion to share. True, opinions are not facts. And my opinions are only semi-informed, like anybody else's. But, here are some of my observations and ruminations. Back in 2016, in my place of work, we had to hire psychologists to counsel the "traumatized" leftists among us who were mourning the election of Trump. "Trump is a Nazi" and "Trump is a fascist" were oft-stated "facts" thrown around in those counseling sessions, meetings, and just in passing. In one alarming moment, I watched a coworker pound his hands on the table in the teachers' lounge, yelling "Trump IS Hitler! Trump IS Hitler!" I found this puzzling, as anyone who listened openly to what Trump was saying would have to conclude that he was the opposite of these things... his purported stance, at least, was to reduce government interference with business, and also to reduce government itself (note... purported stance or not, nobody in power ever reduces government, and neither did he). Now, over the past 5 years or so, I've observed an obvious and deliberate collaboration, between a political party, a united national media, and a strange new powerful force of technology megacorporations determined to take down a duly elected President. They succeeded, largely undetected by the algorithm'd public and certainly without any negative consequences to the collaborators, as it was all done in what appears to be an entirely legal fashion. Under this collaboration, censorship has suddenly become the norm, and "misinformation" is now anything that doesn't support the preferred narrative. And after a year of letting leftist riots run amok all over this country, that same group has all but instituted martial law in DC (to protect themselves) in response to a single uprising by the opposition. All of these aspects of that expansive collaboration seem to fit more closely with the textbook, Mussolini definition of fascism than anything I've ever seen in this country. And no, the Bidens and the Pelosis of the world aren't going to stand up and say, "A vote for me is a vote for a totalitarian fascist future." That wouldn't go over too well, politically. And yet, here they are, marching at the front of this frightening, radical, repressive new regime, with half the country's blessing. I guess it's because when you think you are fighting for the right side, you don't see yourself as a fascist or an oppressor, you see yourself as a liberator, an educator, a moral engineer. You lose sight of what you are actually doing, and start to think any means are ok if the ends are "utopian". Observing what's transpiring here, and digesting it, I've never had a less optimistic view of America's future than I do right now. Last thought: While I don't see anyone standing up and calling openly for fascism, it has become increasingly more ok in this country to call openly for socialism and communism. So, maybe fascism is working is way up the acceptability ladder. Yikes.
What I have stated is proven fact. Call it absurd if you wish, as that is the avenue leftists use to impose their form of intolerance and tyranny.
No. That is your silly opinion. Apparently you don't know the difference. You share that fault with Prager. He regularly believes his opinions are facts.
Hypothetical - the left takes control of the US and puts you in charge. Do you let Prager University continue or do you shut it down?

"The left" has me RATIONALLY fearing the left.
