Progressive Privilege of Privacy

Posted on August 14, 2017 by The Political Hat

    If one is in a true position of “institutional privilege & power”, then one does not fear being outspoken; if one does not have this “institutional privilege & power” and dares say something not approved of those who do have it, than the fear of retribution is manifest.

     Thus it follows: Those who advocate censorship believe that they are in the privilegedand empowered position to avoid retribution for their actions, while those who are truly in the position of being under the totalitarian thumb of disapproving others have no other recourse than anonymity.

     This fundamental right to dissent is now under repeated assault by the government. Now, David French, on behalf of “Prager U“, further explains the common sense of protecting anonymous speech as being free speech, with such lack of identification of the speaker being no basis for denying such a fundamental right.
