@sh76 saidWell, why would Steven Miller say that unless he was going to do it? Within days we see Kimmel off air with the implied threats to all other late night comedians. Our vice president "joking" that Kimmel will be replaced by Marco rubio. It's also happening at universities with faculty who are afraid to teach the history of the Middle East unless it paints Israel with rose-colored lenses.
===Steven Miller wants to punish viewpoints using government power.===
If they do that, I'll join you in protesting it.
We'll start with Jimmy Kimmel. While I found his comments to be outrageous and false, and think he deserves to be fired, it's more outrageous that the government apparently put pressure on ABC to fire him.
By most accounts, the FCC told ABC that their broadcast license would be revoked unless they took Kimmel off the air.
"Pressure" is too light a term. It seems like Disney as a public company shouldn't have to allow ABC to be taken off the air just to prove the point that fascists now run our government.
If you still have a Biden or Harris bumper sticker on your car, better remove it quick.
Someone dug up this speech JD Vance gave back in February, a position on free speech that he and Steven Miller and Marco Rubio and Pam Bindi and Donald Trump have completely abandoned in a few short months. Now they favor not only censorship but outright punishment for expressing viewpoints they disagree with.
But sh76 says we should keep on waiting to see what they will do next before we start calling them fascists.

@Ponderable saidNot now, with the boobs we have in Intelligence now.
In fact we (the world as entity) and you (the USA specifically) don't know what the Chinese know.

If that's true, it wouldn't pay them back 100th of what's gone on in the other direction.
Here, at least read the executive summary:

@wildgrass saidWhen I read you complain that academics are afraid to go after Israel now, it literally made me laugh out loud.

Academia has been such a hotbed of Jew-hate in last 5 years that I'd love to lick the crocodile tears of anyone who whines that they can't Jew-hate as much as they used to.
@wildgrass saidwhat does freedom of speech have to do with outright lying to influence a vulnerable base?

tell me where I miss the lefts point.
A leftist committed cold blooded murder of someone they didnt agree with.
kimmel goes on tv and lies and claims the shooter was maga.
Trump admin complains to the parent company, the parent company advises kimmel to correct his claim and apologise for lying. he refused.
what do you expect his employer to do?
@no1marauder saidthey have been made to fear for their lives on campus by perverted freaks like you.

lying is all you know, no wonder you support kimmel

Get it right.
@Mott-The-Hoople saidDespite this non-existent paralyzing fear and imaginary persecution, Jews are twice as likely as the general population to have a college degree and more than two and half times more likely to have an advanced degree.

@sh76 saidNot go after...agh.. We agree on that problem, but the trump solution is fascist by nature. Im very sorry to put the Israel issue in my post, it seems to have distracted from the larger issue of government-led punishment of ideas.

@Mott-The-Hoople saidThe point is that JD Vance went from saying that a few months ago to now celebrating the fact that he used government power to punish speech that he found disagreeable.
