The left s suicidal pact with Silicon Valley – spiked
Yes, in the 21st century it is far right to believe in freedom and it is left-wing to insist that billionaires none of us ever elected should be the moral arbiters of public debate. We are well and truly through the looking glass.
Mr Dee s fascistic offence was to take the side of the Free Speech Union when it was locked out of its accounts by PayPal on the utterly spurious grounds that it engaged in misinformation . The Daily Sceptic, the website set up by the FSU s founder Toby Young, was similarly defunded by PayPal s thoughtpolice. UsForThem, a campaign group that raises essential critical questions about Covid lockdowns and their impact on the young, was also frozen out by PayPal. All were physically prevented from accessing the thousands of pounds that citizens have donated to them. This was an extreme and authoritarian intervention into the democratic life of the United Kingdom by a multi-billion dollar corporation headquartered in San Jose. It is mindblowing that anyone, least of all those who call themselves left, could support such imperial interference by a section of the capitalist class into public discussion.
Agree, except the Left has been authoritarian since the French Revolution at least, as I figured out in the early 1980s. Before then I was a lefty too.
