The good news is that Pat Condell is back. The bad news is that leftists are using the bogus concept of “hate speech” to destroy the fundamental right of free speech:

He’s right; “common purpose” is worth looking up. Wikipedia defines it as a “legal doctrine that imputes criminal liability to the participants in a criminal enterprise for all that results from that enterprise.” As they consolidate their power, progressives will use this concept of guilt by association to populate prison camps.

The Capitol Riot provided indications of how broadly guilt by association can be applied. Prominent Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez accused Senators Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley of inciting a riot because like the rioters, they had qualms about the 2020 election. Mark Ibrahim was fired from the Drug Enforcement Agency because he attended the same Trump rally as the rioters, despite not having set foot on the Capitol steps.

Applying common purpose to the coming hate speech laws might entail arresting everyone who works for a publication if any of them say something leftists find hateful. The publication’s subscribers may also face prosecution. No extreme of tyranny is improbable if progressives don’t start encountering resistance.
