Dark Ages
We often refer to ‘the’ Dark Age as if mankind, after having come through such an experience once, could never again resort to placing a cover over the light of independent thought or a questioning mind.
Unfortunately, by definition, we have already stepped over the edge. We are now on to the slippery downward slope beyond. Western society today is beginning to very much resemble every tyranny mankind has faced in the past, be it Stalin’s Great Purge of the Soviet Union, Hitler’s Fascist Germany under the Nazi’s, Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, or any others you’d care to research.
A common thread woven within each of these tyrannies is the loss of the most basic, God given, inalienable right…to think independently and speak your mind. In each of the individual dark ages mentioned above, speaking about certain topics put at risk, in order:
- alienation from those you loved
- loss of employment
- work detail
- imprisonment or finally, if the ‘offender’ wouldn’t cease the speaking of a free mind,
- death.
The following video is just one example of where we are. No pun intended, but please begin to start speaking out for freedom of speech. Only when you speak out for the right of those whose views you disagree with, are you REALLY standing up for freedom.
