Why do I give up freedom of expression, and you must also you

The history of humanity is a history in which smart people say things that challenge novels, then people kill them with dumbness for that. To prevent this from happening, and perhaps also to protect themselves from killing, ancient Greek thinkers have developed the idea that people should be free to say what they want.

In 1791, the United States of America has transformed those ideas of freedom of freedom of expression into the first amendment. It was blocked in a law that people should be allowed to speak.

These thinkers and this law, as it turned out, did not change anything. And now I give up, until a better way to keep the tapes away from their wages and spread.

Freedom of expression was my northern star

Freedom of expression has always been my northern star. She was born and grew up in a restricted religious worship and got a direct look at what is happening when people are forced to the police of their words and ideas at the threat of punishment.

So in the early puberty, she left that worship at a large personality cost. Everyone you knew or loved me ever and avoided me. I had no one and nothing. Nothing is nothing but new freedom to say what I want. Or so I thought.

Drunk on freedom, in the late 1990s, I entered the field of freedom of expression, and I work to become a successful writer and publisher. Gradually, for decades of speaking and encouraging others to speak, I realized that I did not escape worship, I just moved to one larger.

The reality of the Ovenon window

Many claim the sincerity of freedom of expression, but I learned through experience that they do not really believe in freedom of expression; They only believe in the Oveton window.

Overton window is a concept that aims to describe the scope of ideas that are acceptable or prevalent in public discourse at any specific time. Where the Overton window on the acceptable conversation scale is liquid, and the Overton window turns back and forth.

When most people argue in favor of freedom of expression, evidence indicates that what they already do is try to control the Overton window. Once they possess the tools needed to move them, they turn the window to their favorite place on the cultural spectrum and destroy anyone who participates in speech outside the window.

Howard Stern Freedom of Expression Mirage

There is no better example of fraud in freedom of expression than Howard Stern.

I grew up as I listened to Howard Sterin in secret, and sparked his obscene vision of a society where people can say what they want. In the nineties, there was no greater defender of the freedom of expression than Sterin. In his world, the Overton window was not present, and he apparently was devoting his life to fighting for the human right to say anything.

At that time, Howard was on the ground radio, a mediator organized by the Federal Communications Committee (FCC) and is subject to the restrictions of the restrictions he made. In the first decade of the twentieth century, Sterin took a huge payment day and moved to satellite radio, as these restrictions no longer exist.

If I asked him, Stern will say that he is still the hero of freedom of expression. This will say, then it is launched in the prison invitation to imprison anyone with negative opinions about the effectiveness of vaccinations.

Howard Stern is recognized. Now that it is safely protected from the censorship by the satellite, the views of the freedom of expression only once apply to the Overton’s personal window.

Howard Stern was a defender of freedom of expression while benefiting from him. When he no longer gets what he wants, stop.

Supporters of censorship and freedom of expression fighters can be changed

Sterin is not an edge case. Censorship advocates and freedom of expression fighters have now been revealed as completely switched groups.

I used a lot of my career as a writer and publisher Case hero to Freedom of expression in Entertainment and art. In the early first decade of the twentieth century, during the Bush era, I found myself constantly Unlike Republican Christians Determined to silence anything that was not the Bible.

When Barack Obama became president in 2008, Howard Stern and other liberals abandoned the opinions of freedom of expression and control over the Overton window. This means that the conservative pro -pure materials were now out of the window and their intersection. Therefore, the conservatives turned and became the heroes of freedom of expression.

The number of indigenous divorced people to contradict freedom of expression

A few divorced freedom of expression, gay, were real believers. Pioneer radio and podcast Adam Carola He had similar opinions of Khargr in the 1990s. He hated the conservatives to him and tried to throw him on the air. He still has those opinions themselves, and now he hates and searches by liberals.

One of the most desirables to open discussion is a man named Charlie Kirk. This has proven by traveling to the country and discussing anyone who was ready. He did this knowing that he was in a great personal danger.

So the leftist extremist shot him to talk to him, and the previously friendly liberals were freedom of expression chanting blood.

New Overton Window masters, like an old

Conservatives, who have prepared power in the wake of Kirk’s killing, are now controlling the Overton window again. It was something they had not had since the end of the Bush Dynasty, and in the meantime, it has been transferred so far to the left until words like “Debanking” have become a common thing.

Conservatives are newly empowered, as conservatives copy the tactics they have seen against them since 2008. Currently in the cancellation intersections are the crawl who were defending violence, the type that killed Kerk. They stopped taking care of freedom of expression.

As expected, after you have now lost control of the window, the liberals have returned until they were the noble guardians of freedom of expression, and jumping to defend Jimmy KimmelLate at night, with failed classifications, his platform used to spread false, anti -preservation propaganda.

Strategic failures of freedom of expression

It is difficult to say that this is the wrong approach to either side. If the conservatives continue to scream freedom of expression while firing the liberals who shoot them to talk, the liberals will keep the control of the Overton window and use it to keep their killing and cancellation.

On the other hand, if the liberals have never taken control of the Overton window after the election of Barack Obama, and they continue to defend freedom of expression, then we are still talking about Janet Jackson’s slip in Super Bowl, and Kirk Cameron will be the largest producer in Hollywood. This is not a world I want to live in.

Regardless of the quality of strategic excuses, on my part, I am tired of taking a lollipop by defending something that could never happen. Freedom of expression may be present as a concept, but it does not exist as a reality, and I doubt that he had ever. It is not applied strategically. The first amendment is a series of words on a piece of paper, the words that will be interpreted to benefit from the end of the salad.

Safety comes by controlling Overton, not freedom of expression

I raise four wonderful children, and I worked hard to teach them to develop the type of mental flexibility that allows them to think about any thinking. But I may not advise them to express these ideas in public places, because the masses are rarely nice with those who think outside the box, and the mechanisms designed to protect these thinkers are broken or never work at all.

Freedom of expression is a fantasy of mocoli philosophers using primitive persuasion tools to prevent the masses close to being tired of the cross. In fact, there is only an Overton window.

If you want to avoid being on the wall the next time that cultural power structures change, freedom of expression is not the solution. Take the Overton window and put it where you want.
