*This rampant censorship by Big Tech, along with what now calls itself * *"the left," is indefensible, and far more dangerous than the coronavirus* *(another issue that it's risky to discuss forthrightly).

One of the latest is the barb directed at author J. K. Rowling <https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/j-k-rowling/index.html>, who has been accused of being ‘radicalised online’. This alarmist phrase – previously associated with jihadi terrorists – brings to mind all manner of transgressions. Had she joined a fanatical death-cult, or endorsed a national policy of eugenics, or embedded subliminal Nazi propaganda into her forthcoming new children’s book? No. Rowling’s so-called ‘radicalisation’ is her belief that there are biological differences between men and women. *Click on the link for the rest.* -- If you appreciate News From Underground, please consider making a donation — either a one-time gift or a monthly subscription: http://markcrispinmiller.com/support/ Thank you for your support.
