As Twitchy readers know, AOC recently spoke with Jen ‘Circle Back’ Psaki about using government regulation to stifle the speech of people like Tucker Carlson, who she claims clearly engages in ‘incitement of violence’.
What does this incitement to violence look like? Telling the public what liberals are doing. That’s it. That’s why she hates Tucker Carlson.
Unsurprisingly, AOC was quite pleased to hear that Tucker and Fox News were parting ways, and the congresswoman turned the camera on herself to spread her speech-squashing satisfaction on the perfect platform for such pronouncements: Chinese-owned TikTok.
She summarized her thoughts by saying ‘deplatforming works and it is important’.
That’s right, according to Authoritarian Ocasio-Cortez, it is important to silence dissenting opinions.
An entire generation of activist progressives have been raised to participate in our political system by declaring their opponents to be evil and then trying to silence them because they have declared them to be evil.
We’re left with young people who lack the intellect to defend their ideas, coupled with a moral conviction of their rightness that’s barely distinguishable from religion.
Exactly this. AOC is right that deplatforming works.
When you’ve trained your core supporters to oppose whomever you accuse of ‘hate’, but they have the intellectual depth of a Mojave mud puddle, exposure to other viewpoints cannot be tolerated.
Deplatforming does work – to keep people from thinking and changing their minds. Totalitarians understand this.
That’s how the game is played.
Deplatforming my opponents is ‘battling hate’.
Deplatforming me is an act of ‘hate’.
This guy gets it.
Thankfully, many people are paying attention.
Yes, she does, and the mechanism the Constitution gives us to do that is voting.
Convincing people to vote how you want when ideas are exchanged freely is hard.
The easier, lazier, approach is to pretend your opponents are Nazis. Nobody should, of course, listen to Nazis … and that’s how we get the Bronx Censor Queen.
Sorry, AOC, if you stop everyone else from speaking, you’re a dictator.
Yeah, we think AOC is being a bit naïve to believe Tucker’s exit from Fox News is tantamount to ‘deplatforming’. It’s more a matter of where he’ll be ‘platformed’ next, and his reach very well could be larger.
They’re certainly embracing many of their tools.
LOL. Well, yes, she is, but only for the people she has decreed are ‘bad’, so it’s okay.
LOLOLOL! Nice.
