The Authoritarian Moment

The Authoritarian Moment presents the America of today, where authoritarian powers seem to be taking over while putting the democracy at risk, and pleas to protect the freedom and rights that the founding fathers of democracy built centuries ago.

We no longer know The United States of the 21st century for the freedom of speech and the American dream that once built the country. Instead, left political parties pushed an agenda that shaped a new identity for Americans: offensive citizens with racial biases. Or at least that’s how it is for whoever doesn’t obey.

Masses of people are willing to put huge corporations into the ground if they don’t get political and choose to defend certain groups of people. However, instead of inclusion, there’s more division than ever.

Instead of corporations pursuing profits, they now must follow political trends if they don’t want to get canceled. If someone dares to even stay neutral, let alone ride against the wave, they become prone to losing their jobs and destroying their careers.

The protests were happening in public spaces with millions of people involved.

Suddenly, science fell behind the political agenda. The pandemic no longer counted in the face of the Black Lives Matter protest. However, such occurrences happen all the time in the “democratic” era. For example, scientists were fired for saying that men are naturally taller than women on average.

During the BLM protest, big companies fired employees who expressed that all lives matter. Such examples occur on social media also, where Big Tech frequently bans users or deletes posts that express different ideas than the liberal party.

To speak freely, without the fear of oppression, and without holding back any thoughts are the foundation of democracy. Any ideology that suppresses this idea and imposes its agenda, whether dressed in liberal and democratic covers, is authoritarian. The liberal philosophy is built…
