"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be “cured” against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals." -C. S. Lewis, from his 1948 book God in the Dock: Essays on Theology

Reading this makes me think that if we want any freedoms we absolutely cannot turn over our guns. They need us disarmed to control us and they are working hard to do this with the aid of many useful idiot republicans.

I was at the Coralville (IA) Mall last week. Coralville is a suburb of Iowa City, home of the University of Iowa. I saw more masks at the mall than I have seen in probably the last 6 months, worn by people of all ages. It frightens me to see what should be some of the more intelligent people acting like the stupidest.

Let them have their fun… they are vaccinated and are the walking dead. We will bury their insanity with them soon and create a new world. They will become footnotes in a global tragedy that they helped create. Power to the Pure Bloods! Long live the Pure Bloods!

This rapidly evolving cancel culture is despicable in itself. Worse, it is creating real fear in too many people and businesses of upsetting this or that group of self-defining keepers of right and wrong thought, i.e., mini-minded, little snowflakes of this or that group. Businesses are trending to suppress employees or associates with whom they do business of wrong-speak for fear of some culture backlash and resultant loss of business. Ye shalt think only this and never that, and under no circumstance shall thou express a thought counter to whatever we, the blessed, consider appropriate, etc. If thou deemeth to violate our accepted thought / speech demands, thou shalt be cancelled and even thy name be erased from thou head stone, and all thy offspring shall be cast into the pit of forever cancelled - and so it goes if this destructive trend of cancel culture be allowed to win.

Note this link included in 2nd’s article as an example of fear causing speech cancellation for business reasons: Https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/05/27/publishers-scared-cancel-culture-made-rewrite-book-says-anthony/
