Truth is a liberal value, and it is a conservative value. It has never been a left-wing value. From Vladimir Lenin and the Communist Party to the contemporary university, the Left has always suppressed dissent.
And for good reason. If dissent is allowed, the Left loses its power.
And the Left knows it. Colleges know that one conservative speaker can undo four years of indoctrination in 90 minutes. And the medical establishment knows that a few dissenting physicians can undo its entire credibility.
That was my response to the young person who wanted to know which side is lying: the one that censors and suppresses dissent.
The Left.
Are there actually conservatives out there who are "afraid" of someone else's opinion. Do they run around demanding that "speech" is actual physical violence? Do they heckle liberal speakers and try to get them banned from speaking?
Nope... we are not afraid of someone else being wrong.
But the left is afraid of someone else being right!
