Will We End Up with a ‘Reality Czar’?

Policy

Writing for the Foundation for Economic Education, Professor Gary Galles argues against the idea that has been put forward by sundry left-wing zealots for the appointment of a “reality czar,” with powers to suppress what he or she finds to be lies and misinformation. That would be done, of course, only in the interests of national unity.

If we manage to escape from this shockingly authoritarian idea, it won’t be because the leaders of the Democratic Party think there is anything intrinsically wrong with the use of government power to silence their critics. They don’t. Unlike older Democrats like, oh, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, they have no qualms about “winning” in politics through the use of coercion.

    1. Just one more attempt by the demo-communist party to take away even more of our rights and freedom, they plan to control every aspect of our lives. they want to tell us what to see, what to hear and what to think. They want to tell us what reality is, their own warped, hate-filled one. Everyone thought that the Nazi were bad, our own emo-communist are taking evil up to a whole new level and making the Nazi look like a human rights group. They plan to take complete control and put us all under bondage, their own nation of slaves.

  1. This is WHY they HATED and REMOVED President Donald J. Trump Assassinated President Robert F Kennedy and attempted the Assassination of President Ronald Reagan

  2. If they come up with a reality czar are they going to add penalties to speaking truth that is not theirs’s? I read a book years ago titled “You Can Trust Communists to be Communists” that described how the government controls speech. I never dreamed that it could happen here.

  3. The SNOWFLAKES are looking for sympathy while experiencing “Buyer’s Remorse.”

    Look no further! The4 SNOWFLAES can find SYMPATHY between SUCESS and SYPHOLIS in the Dictionary! Rejoice! You wanted “free stuff,” so I gave you the answer you seek for free. A second reason to rejoice is that Biden only has 205 weeks as POTUS (about the same time that the US was involved in WWII).

  4. Years ago, I said climate change would be leveraged by the democrats to criminalize political dissent. Now that attempt is in full swing. The communist donkeys know that their radical utopian socialist agenda cannot survive normal scrutiny, criticism, or dissent, so they try to criminalize dissent.

    Rest assured, there are going to be reeducation camps for climate change dissenters in our future. Those will be expanded to include punishment/reprogramming for any and all opposition to the globalist agenda.

    Since most of the media and academia support and promote this, there is almost no hope of successfully opposing the communist agenda in a significant way. For some reason, bad ideas keep reinvigorating themselves no matter how many times they fail, and often require the sacrifice of millions of lives to stop them.

    How sad it is!

  5. I never would have believed that anyone in the U.S. could read George Orwell’s “1984” and think that it was full of good ideas – talk about crazy!
