Ironically, the author fails to actually provide any examples of the ‘self-censoring’ he thinks is going on too much nowadays.
This article feels like it was originally intended as a write-up on Salman Rushdie but an editor asked for some vague culture war stuff to make it more clickable.
What a load of tosh.
Way to wrangle ANYTHING to further your dumb assertions, fucking opinion pieces 🙄
> “You can’t say that!” is all too often the response of those in power to having their power challenged.
source: dude trust me
nearly always this is the other way around; those with no power being trodden on by those *in* power.
lmao at The Guardian posting this, as if they don’t support people being deplatformed when it offends *their* causes. Of course, this pales in comparison to his stabbing, but they’re hardly free speech warriors, and they’ve no shortage of fellow travellers who do support violence against those they’ve deemed to be “fascist”, use of false fire alarms to shut down talks etc.
> today too many fear causing offence
Yeah I wonder how that happened, nothing to do with journalist practices often used by the Guardian, nothing at all…
Strange then, how Tories seem to love Rushdie and censorship.
I’d like you to check this article I’ve just captured and published to the net. I’m quite certain you’ll find it intriguing and I would like to hear your perspective.

It covers what was in the Satanic Verses and how that links to the LGBTQ movement, JK Rowling, Islam, world history, Dave Chappelle and the power of the pen. Your starter for ten is the following quotation from the article:
​
“**Salman Rushdie stabbed himself.** At least, according to Iran that is what happened. Have you ever read The Satanic Verses? I’d be willing to bet those who are up in arms about this sequence of words and meaning therein haven’t even glanced at the text as they simply joined in the mob action that was baying for blood and cheered when he was stabbed in the neck. Ironic when you consider the name of **Islam means peace so, by definition, extremists should be really chill**.
In the real world they aren’t this. Neither are they aware of the contradiction this represents. Speaking of that buzzword they aren’t too keen on the change and rearrange antics of the LGBTQ movement and its ever increasing colonization of the alphabet. Ironic, yes? **How are two totally separate movements that ostensibly seek and preach peace, unity and tolerance yet exhibit none of it toward anyone that doesn’t think just like them or dares question their narrative interlinked?**”
