Legacy institutions have worked hard to serve as political gatekeepers.

Their reach has extended into Big Tech.

And a Washington Post reporter shed crocodile tears after one new policy.

Taylor Lorenz of The Washington Post has made a name for herself by doxxing (revealing names and private contact information) and calling for censorship of her political opponents.

Lorenz famously targeted popular online account Libs of TikTok for destruction, but her hit piece backfired.

Libs of TikTok, which mainly reposts public videos of unhinged leftists in their own words, grew in popularity after Lorenz exposed her identity.

Mark Zuckerberg creating new rules?

After years of calling for censorship, journalist Lorenz is furious at a new online policy.

Meta—parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and Threads—announced that it would be limiting algorithmic exposure of political content.

Users still have the choice to “opt-in” to politics if they want.

Conservatives, libertarians, and a handful of counter-narrative leftists have been getting censored for years while people like Lorenz served as cheerleaders.

But now that their establishment narrative is being dulled, at least on the surface, they are freaking out.

The left-wing outrage mob absolutely hates it when they have to eat their own words.

Lorenz wrote a piece in The Washington Post about Facebook’s decision, and she fell back on the classic left-wing technique of offering up “marginalized” groups as a shield.

She wrote, “The decision has alarmed users who post about social issues, including LGBTQ rights, women’s rights, racial inequality and disability. And independent journalists and content creators say they’ve struggled to reach their audiences in recent weeks since the change was rolled out. The limits, they say, have significantly affected creators who are Black, female, disabled and LGBTQ.”

Leftists always hide behind identity groups for moral cover because they think they can get away with it. 

Letter to Meta

Lorenz signed onto a letter with dozens of other left-wing content creators dismayed at Meta’s decision.

They wrote, “As users of Meta’s platforms, we did not choose to automatically opt-out of receiving suggested political content on civic activism and news updates. . .Removing political recommendations as a default setting, and consequently stopping people from seeing suggested political content poses a serious threat to political engagement, education, and activism.”

So communities are being “threat[ened]” if they are not automatically spoon-fed left-wing political content.

These are the same people that have called for right-wing content to be shut down for years because it foments “hate” and “misinformation” and “disinformation.”

Their hypocrisy is on display for the whole word to see. 

The Left are twisting themselves in knots to explain why censoring the Right is good, but censoring the Left is bad.

The common saying that if it wasn’t for double standards the left would have no standards at all comes to mind. 

So far, their justifications have fallen flat.

Perhaps they should be more careful of what they wish for. 

The international Left are all-in on “bold” climate action.

They even want to criminalize dissent on the issue.

And CBS asked the Pope to help Joe Biden with his radical “green” agenda.

The Left are serious about their extremist environmental agenda.

At the most recent World Economic Forum globalist gathering, Jojo Mehta, CEO of Stop Ecocide International, explained that she wanted to expand the definition of “ecocide” and make it a crime.

She said, “What our organization and other collaborators aim to do is to have this recognized legally as a serious crime because one of the issues that pervades this discussion is that we have a culturally ingrained habit of not taking damage to nature as seriously as we take damage to people and property.”

Radical agenda

While people should not get away with causing ecological disaster, concept creep is a real problem because the Left want to broaden what constitutes “ecocide.”

They want the threat of the law behind their radical environmentalist goals.

And they are roping in the biggest names possible.

Pope Francis has repeatedly stated his support for climate action, and CBS reporter Norah O’Donnell reiterated that point in a recent interview.

The “green” Pope

O’Donnell asked, “What do you say to the deniers of climate change?”

The Pope responded, “There are people who are foolish, and foolish even if you show them research, they don’t believe it. Why? Because they don’t understand the situation or because of their interest. But climate change exists.”

The international Left have attempted to shut down the debate on climate change by declaring the science is “settled.”

They have also attempted to associate climate “deniers” with Holocaust deniers.

The reality is that the science is not settled.

The climate is changing and human activity plays a role, but that does not mean climate change is cataclysmic.

Environmental economist William Nordhaus won a Nobel Prize in 2018 for his work showing that economic growth could easily mitigate the impacts of climate change.

Fear-mongering about planetary destruction is not backed by science, but those are the messages that are propagated in the Democrat-controlled media.

The Left also ignores actual solutions to carbon emissions, such as nuclear power.

They despise nuclear and prefer inefficient sources of energy like renewables, which not only have their own environmental downsides but also need to be backstopped by fossil fuels.

Media outlets like CBS are attempting to simplify the climate debate into an activist/denier binary, which is false.

They do this because they want a consensus that gives them justification to do whatever they want.

Late-night comedians are the foot soldiers of the Democrat-controlled media.

They try to make DNC talking points humorous.

But Jimmy Kimmel tried to hit Republicans and ended up punching himself in the face.

Democrats are in a shockingly reactionary moment.

They reflexively defend anything Republicans are against.

So when Republicans say they are against literal pornography in public schools, Democrats defend it.

Those darn Republicans

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel did precisely that when he accused Republicans of banning books.

Kimmel said, “It’s also World Book Day today or as the state of Florida calls it, Bonfire Day. All jokes aside, this World Book Day is a weird one. There are at least 100 bills in various red states, three of which have become law already, threatening librarians with prison for the crime of lending books. Books that aren’t government-approved. Which to me, not only is this the opposite of what our country’s supposed to be about, it’s completely nuts. We’re going to throw librarians in jail for loaning out Huckleberry Finn. This is not what they signed up for. I think it’s disgusting and wrong and anti-American.”

He then showed a clip of librarians speaking out against the book “bans.”

First, Huckleberry Finn and To Kill a Mockingbird have been banned by left-wing school districts because they contain “racial epithets” and perpetuate the “white savior complex.”

For example, Burbank, California removed To Kill a Mockingbird from the reading list.

The second lie was that Judy Blume’s books are being pulled.

In reality, books that depict graphic sex—with illustrations—are being removed.

Wow. An 11-year-old boy named Knox Zajac from Maine confronted his school board by reading them pornographic material found in his middle school.

Authors in their own words

The authors themselves say that the books are not appropriate for kids.

Maia Kobabe, author of the book Gender Queer, which includes illustrations of fellatio, told The Washington Post, “It keeps being called a children’s book. . .but I think that’s coming from a misreading of the comic-book form. ‘Gender Queer’ is a comic, and in full color, but that doesn’t mean it’s for children. I originally wrote it for my parents, and then for older teens who were already asking these questions about themselves. I don’t recommend this book for kids!”

Jonathan Evison, author of the controversial book Lawn Boy, made similar statements.

The Washington Post reported that “Evison said his novel, an exploration of racial assumptions and the failures of late capitalism, is meant for adults. If schools want to offer the text, he said, they should restrict access to older students. ‘Nobody below a teenager is ready for that book,’ Evison said. ‘It’s got a lot of adult stuff.’”

The third lie is that the books are being banned.

They are being removed from public school classrooms and libraries.

They are still available in public libraries, and they are available wherever books are sold.

The issue is over their appropriateness in public schools where parents have far less supervision.

Even Bill Maher has finally come around on the issue.

Maher even said that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was correct, and his rant did not even include a sucker punch that hit Republicans.

Kimmel and other Democrat propagandists will not be able to run and hide on this issue forever.
