Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows. (George Orwell, 1984)
Recently Americans were told that it was imperative during the coronavirus epidemic that all persons remain at home. All “non-essential” businesses would be closed indefinitely. Persons who had to leave home on essential business should wear a mask, keep six feet away from other persons, and avoid large gatherings. Violators would be prosecuted.
Unless one wished to take to the streets to demonstrate against the police, in which case 2 + 2 = 5.
Americans are being pressed to voice support for Black Lives Matter. (To utter the words “All lives matter” is a firing offense because, well, because 2 + 2 = 5.) But Black Lives Matter is a virulently anti-American organization that sanctions violence against the police. Consider the following from Alicia Garza, one of the founders of Black Lives Matter:
“When I use Assata’s powerful demand in my organizing work, I always begin by sharing where it comes from, sharing Assata’s significance to the Black Liberation Movement, what its political purpose and message is, and why it’s important in our context.” “Assata” is Joanne Deborah Chesimard, convicted of the 1973 murder of New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster, and added to the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorists list in 2013.
Nevertheless, Democrat office holders across the land have been joining the Black Lives Matter demonstrations, even as those demonstrations have been directed against the office holders’ own police departments, because 2 + 2 = 5.
