The Coward's Bargain: How We Taught A Generation To Live In Fear

A good read on how people in public settings are afraid to give opinions that would otherwise be considered rational, such as genital mutilation and mastectomies for 14 year-olds is a batshit crazy idea to be allowed to happen.

But he's not alone. 

We've created a culture where wrongthink is policed so aggressively that even successful, powerful people whisper their doubts like they're confessing crimes.

    Look at Trump and common sense. Is there a potential dem political candidate with any common sense who can make a simple declarative statement about closing the border or who is a woman and why we should have men in women sports, in their bathrooms and why we should sexually mutilate minors? Let alone any Tug leftard?

    The leftard response to the chicom crud was to abandon science and cripple the economy and have people hide in the basement all based on promoting fear. And we know who ate this sh*t up on this board. Unless you needed to riot for St. George Floyd and then huge gatherings were encouraged.

    @HHusky right here. This entire article should be mandatory to understand nanny-staters like him.

    We saw this machinery in full operation during COVID. Remember how quickly "two weeks to flatten the curve" became orthodoxy? How questioning lockdowns, mask mandates, or vaccine efficacy wasn't just wrong—it was dangerous?

    How saying "maybe we should consider the trade-offs of closing schools" could get you labeled a grandma-killer? The speed at which dissent became heresy was breathtaking.
