BAD SPEECH MUST BE DEFENDED:  Answers to 12 Bad Anti-Free Speech Arguments: Featuring That XKCD Cartoon Everyone Likes to Quote!

Look, humans are social apes. Which means we tend to subconsciously model our behavior and opinions on other people’s. This means it’s really easy to get a whole society running crazy on things that just ain’t so.  Sure, okay, yes, the Tulip craze, but seriously, communism? It’s not even a plausible lie. It doesn’t conform to reality in any way, shape or form. But entire societies ran with it.  There were no dissenting voices allowed to give them a reality check before the mass graves got filled. DISSENTING SPEECH that offends people or hurts them MUST be allowed, period. Or we’ll pay in lives. There is no such thing as dangerous speech. There is only dangerous suppression of speech.

 

DON’T BET ON IT:  One year after the death of George Floyd, the psy-ops have triumphed.

Sure, the psy-ops are still being run, and the institutions that have been captured by the left are all running to follow the arrow of history to utopia. But is anyone else? Note that the insanity of the double mask didn’t take except with extreme neurotics, and when they said they were going to keep us in masks for two years, people started removing them. Now they’re running to catch up with Americans unwillingness to obey.

Most of all, remember in the face of extreme and unprecedented measures of isolation and propaganda, people hunched their shoulders and voted for Donald Trump in such numbers that the most extensive cheating operation in history had to cheat clumsily and in full view.
We’re down but we’re not out.

Be not afraid. In the end we win, they lose.  Ça Ira!

SHUT UP XI SAID:   Explosive study claims to prove Chinese scientists created COVID.

Which means it’s shoddy and done all with thumbs. I suspect it really was supposed to be super lethal, which is why they went crazy, and then someone thought “Hey, we already panicked, now let’s use it to our advantage.”

SEE, THIS IS WHY MATH AND (REAL) SCIENCE ARE RACIST, SEXIST AND WHITE SUPREMACIST:  A New Kind of Denialism.

They cause you to doubt the words of your “betters.”

 

MOSTLY BECAUSE THEY CAN’T AFFORD FOR THEIR CRIMES TO BE DISCOVERED: A Democratic Mafia Family Dynasty.

Like MacBeth they are in blood steeped so far that to go on is easier than to return.

OKAY, YES, IT STARTED AS A TYPO, BUT TRAD BEING TRADITIONAL, IT’S APT:  Tools of the Trad.

OH, PLEASE, ACCORDING TO THE WAY OF MRS. COSMOPILITE OF QUIRM STREET, ANKH-MORPORK “I WASN’T BORN YESTERDAY”:  Indian yoga guru slammed for ‘irresponsible’ COVID views.

I.e. the left is fine with crystals being talked about as cures for cancer. but Winnie the Flu? Oh, no. That’s sacred onto Marx, and therefore can only be cured by official science promulgated by the CDC and other governmental entities.  Pfui.

WHAT? MY SHOCKED FACE YET AGAIN?   EXCLUSIVE: COVID-19 ‘has NO credible natural ancestor’ and WAS created by Chinese scientists who then tried to cover their tracks with ‘retro-engineering’ to make it seem like it naturally arose from bats, explosive new study claims.

So…  Here’s my prediction:

Altering genomes using our current technology is highly dependent on these things known as “restriction sites”.

Briefly– bacteria are infected by a class of virus called bacteriophages, and have evolved enzymes that find specific sequences in double-stranded RNA which are indicative of a viral genome, and cleave them there.

We use these to manipulate DNA to splice into bacteria in labs, by putting artificial restriction sites on the DNA to be inserted and identifying a part of– usually — a plasmid, which is a free floating strand of genetic material outside the main bacterial genome that allows the bacteria to do extra stuff (a lot of antibiotic resistance is carried on specific plasmids and can even be acquired by living bacteria that integrate DNA from dead ones.)

Restriction enzymes make “L” shaped asymmetric cuts, so if you have two pieces of genetic material cut with one enzyme, the two can interchangeably dimerize with each other.

Radical departures from the closest relatives in nature positioned near known restriction sites would be– and probably are — extremely suspicious.
