And so it comes full circle. Just a generation ago it was the right-wing Christian conservatives burning records and declaring The Beatles as devil’s music. Now it’s the left-wing social justice warriors deciding what is and isn’t acceptable to listen to.
Left or right wing, it’s the same bird of oppression. The mouthpieces might change with the zeitgeist of the era, but when you look through the visor of individual freedom vs consolidation of power and control, you’ll see the vast majority of the time both wings are taking that bird on the same flight path.
“Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.”
