When I was in San Francisco, the first place I went and the first thing I did was go to City Lights and buy a copy of "Howl."
Back then, when City Lights published it, it was the liberals fighting against censorship and the "Nazis" fighting to censor things on moral grounds.
Now, in 2020, the very concept of Free Speech is considered "Nazi" and the left is fighting to censor as much as they can on moral grounds.
But then, back when "Howl" was published it was the left fighting against segregation and the concept that races have to be separated, the idea that excluding a race because of the color of their skin was repugnant and racist and evil.
And now the left is doing it and accusing anyone that disagrees with it of racism.
"No Safe Spaces" argues that censorship is still wrong, that free speech is still a necessity for the freedom of the nation, for ending things like racism and segregation, and takes the bold step that suggests that Black people and White people should freely mingle and exchange ideas, live together in harmony.
And the left is saying that all of this is wrong. That it is somehow racist and evil. That, just because the tables have turned and it's now the Republicans that are defending Free Speech and arguing against segregation, that makes it wrong.
We live in a crazy insane world full of people shrieking and attacking others to demand censorship and segregation... and this shines a spotlight on it.
