Give Speech a Chance: Heretical Essays on What You Can't Say, or Even Think.
A friend of mine and scholar Harley Price wrote and recently published a book
I think some would find an interesting read.

“ Give Speech A Chance, a timely and prescient anthology of scintillating essays by Harley Price, Ph.D., a brilliant social and political commentator, is “a dazzling collection of mordant essays on the aberrant Zeitgeist,” according to Paul Gottfried in Chronicles magazine. In his Preface to the book, William Gairdner states that “In addition to being a very clear thinker with a profound historical and aesthetic sense of almost the entire Western tradition in literature, religion, poetry, mythology, and art – Harley is also a very amusing fellow.” The Preface provides excerpts from the book on atheism, discrimination, victimology, abortion, conservatism, liberalism, and Jesus.

” As Canadian columnist Rory Leishman notes, “No one can refute Price’s central thesis that our society is hovering on the brink of a totalitarian dictatorship where ‘non-progressive opinion’ — i.e., any criticism of homosexuality, transgenderism, or a woman’s ‘right to choose’ — is criminalized as ‘hate speech.'”

Paul Tuns of The Interim notes that Harley Price “inveighs against every intellectually fashionable trend with acuity and wit, delivering devastating blows to the pantheon of social justice and human rights: abortion, sexual promiscuity, transgenderism, atheism, anti-capitalism.”

Smart man, good sense of humour, we’ve had some great conversations.

You would probably enjoy reading his book, he doesn’t hold back on things.

Being woke is so popular
So utterly reasonable

Its being forced upon the world
Money seems to be irrelevant

The message is that important

Its just that its so fucked up, so redicolus itll never be anything other than a mental illness

Its an attempt to end nations no less

As with all of this it relys on peoples in action
Just going along with it

While less than 1 % of the population try and make the 99% do a merry dance

If you look back at other fads itll be nothing more than utter cringe at best soon
Maybe worse

If you can get your hands on any books from Kurt Saxon , Poor Man’s James Bond, Granddads Book Of Chemistry, Survivor series , they are so controversial that even showing one to a libtard will make the melt like the Wicked Witch

Yeah, I remember Paladin press, their ads were in every issue of Soldier of Fortune magazine and Gung-Ho.
I bought the anarchist’s cookbook from them decades ago.

I have that too! I used to love Soldier of Fortune, not familiar with Gung Ho

This is all so 1984 , how can any book cause someone to take action? How can any thought without action be harmful to anyone but yourself?

There was a thread yesterday about how we are actually entering a dark age of knowledge because digital information is so easy to control
