Is America currently on the road toward Communist style censorship laws?
According to renowed conservative lawyer and activist Dan Backer, we may already be there, as he writes at Townhall:
Sports aside, the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing have served as a harsh reminder for America: Censorship is very, very real in the Far East. Today’s Olympic athletes are effectively muzzled, with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) threatening “certain punishment” against those criticizing the CCP.
But, rather than being grateful for America’s many freedoms, left-wing Americans are turning China into a blueprint. We are out-China’ing the CCP, and in the worst ways possible.

What is YouTube’s censorship of conservatives and libertarians if not a corporate assessment of “social credit”? What is Spotify’s restriction of Joe Rogan’s speech if not a clear statement that some speech is “good” and other speech is “bad”? From New York to Silicon Valley, liberal elites regularly seek to determine who is “right” (e.g. who agrees with them) and who is “wrong” (e.g. who disagrees, and deserves to be silenced).
…
Like China, the American Left has been rolling out its own “social credit” system for years now, weaponizing terms like “misinformation” and “disinformation” to distinguish themselves from the alleged social outcasts. While their moral ranking program is not official government policy (yet), we are trending in that direction. President Biden himself called on news outlets and social media companies to “deal with the misinformation and disinformation” related to COVID-19. On a regular basis, the Biden administration brands unvaccinated Americans as “dangerous.” Pandemic-related discourse has devolved into a Colonial tar-and-feather spectacle, with the in-group scapegoating others as “less than.”
Do you agree with the author that America’s liberal wing is increasingly acting and sounding like Communist China? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

This article is so spot on and speaks the truth about what is happening today. The Media is also complicit in the censorship of people as well. They will omit anything that doesn’t fit their narrative in their articles. Journalism is dying a slow death sadly, particularly INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM. 60 Minutes, 20/20, just to name 2, used to research bombshells and release the investigations on their shows. You see that now with one side only and not across the spectrum like 40 years ago….. So AGAIN, this article is spot on!
True enough: the media need not even LIE. All they need do is to report selectively. So many efforts at rectification of the evils done to Donald Trump the businessman and as President are being investigated and the truth is coming out. But the corrupt, perverted media will not publish it because none of it fits their sworn narrative. Poor Richard a.k.a. Benjamin Franklin must be spinning in his grave to see our media turn into Soviet Pravda.
I say like Nazis because of where their money comes from but this maybe a distiction without a dierencd because in reality the same eends are achieved in both politicaal systems. I ahte to sy it but we need to either reeducate these nazis or get ride of them. Maybe we can find a country thata will take them and send them there. These nazis do not like the consitution and the US at all so in my opinion the US doesn’t like them either… just a thought
Id say China is far worse than US Today
