“The word “cancel” took on a certain connotation when social media platforms were (and still are) silencing conservative voices. Those are platforms — the digital town square — where free speech ought to prevail. The ideas of a movement are different. Telling Nick Fuentes your hate-filled identity politics have no part with our Liberty movement is not cancel culture. It’s the stewardship of our movement.”
(Nate Jackson – The Patriot Post) Properly understood, the political spectrum runs from Liberty on the right to tyranny on the left. If that simple truth is kept in mind, it clarifies much of the political rancor and debate, including what a fascist is and the controversy surrounding Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes.
That said, the spectrum is obviously more complex than Liberty and tyranny. But when public schools miseducated people to believe that the defining characteristics of the Right are racism, bigotry, and jingoistic nationalism, it significantly distorts the picture. Those “qualities” are not unique to the Right.
Fuentes is an excellent example of someone who is not an advocate for Liberty as rational conservatives understand it, though he gets labeled “far Right” because of his noxious views on race, women, and culture. Our Thomas Gallatin aptly covered Carlson’s interview with Fuentes last Friday, and I won’t retread that ground.
