I am new to this platform. I have followed people like Ben Shapiro, Dr Peterson and David Rubin. It saddens me that a place like this must exist because we, those who want honest discourse, must reach out in a deviant way. Do not misunderstand, I mean deviant in that we are seen as outside the pale. We are dangerous. I never believed that expressing opinions and engaging in difficult, stimulating and thought provoking, dialogue would be considered subversive. I am glad that this place allows for expression, thought and debate. I have been hungry for intellectual interaction. It is fast disappearing and we, who believe in freedom of thought, are labelled, judged and, more and more, punished. My parents feared Communism for many reasons but their greatest fear was losing the right to speak freely. I thank those who are fighting the tide! I look forward to engaging in transformative discussions. Thanks!
