Churchill For Our Times

By Mitch Berg

Our times aren’t as genteel and civil as…

…(checks notes)…

…World War 2.

So perhaps it’s fitting that the closest thing we’ve had from a major figure in the culture war to Churchill’s “Dunkirk” speech is this interjection from Elon Musk to the companies who are yapping about boycotting him for supporting free speech on the platform he owns:

But I”ll take it.

Politics is downstream of culture.

And this is a message that the parts of this culture that care about free expression, critical thought and liberty in general need to say, in one form or another, to the parts that don’t.

    Along the lines of censorship, two leftist Irish legislators, have advocated for censorship, basically of anyone that’s not down with the program. They have classified speeches advocating for Irish nationalism, as hate speech.

    So THAT’S what it’s like to have f-u money. I always wondered.
