Back to episode — Episode 2222 Scott Adams - Free Speech Was Nice While It Lasted. Bring Coffee

Context —

e literally looking at the science as we understand it and then doing a good job of interpreting it. No, I feel like everybody else was just, nah, climate change is real. Uh-uh, it snowed today. And he's just dismantling them through a much better process. All right, but he's only dismantling the agenda. Just the agenda. I saw a tweet today because I was complaining about free speech as I often d…

You know don't go all Dale on me. Oh well technically it doesn't mean. No I know that. I know it technically doesn't involve Twitter or X or whatever. Yeah all right. Well you know what I mean.

All right so now the Second Amendment won't protect your freedom of speech because that's already largely gone. What you have is the freedom to run into a buzzsaw of economic destruction should you say something that is not compatible with the malign powers such as the ADL and this BLM, blah blah blah. Most people.

Glenn Greenwald he tweeted today the top two priorities of the CIA and the U.S. security state is number one infinitely prolong the war in Ukraine to weaken Russia and two control online political speech to banish dissent. He says the liberal left overwhelmingly support both and the few that don't are demonized. Now does that feel like an accurate statement of where we're at? Does that seem like hyperbole? It actually doesn't to me. That doesn't feel like hyperbole. That feels like an objective description of the current situation.

But I wonder to what extent Glenn Greenwald is being targeted by the entities that don't like he's calling them out. I think their trust is that the only people that see Glenn Greenwald are people who agree with him already. You know what I mean? If you don't agree with him you probably never saw this. So who's he talking to? That's all they need to control. You.

I think I mentioned this. Viva Frei was tweeting about it. So DeSantis has this 100 million dollar monster PAC, political action committee, and apparently they have taken credit for creating an army of trolls to create misinformation about Vivek. Now isn't that exactly what it seemed like? Didn't it seem like there was this weird army of trolls who were all pushing the same set of misinformation? And now a number of you, I don't want to name names but a number of you believed the trolls and decided he was a WEF guy, Soros guy. And these are all ridiculous things. Ridiculous. But did the trolls convince you that any of those things were true? Is there anybody who was fooled by the trolls to think he was a globalist? Was anybody fooled by it? Because I got a lot of people who came at me that I think are my regulars who were completely fooled by that.

So here's one right now. Probably the San Francisco. This is in all caps. Best squirrel one two one three which is totally a real person. The basketball one two one three all in caps. Scott wants to swallow big eggs tikka roll. So that I think DeSantis is sending his best. So it's a good job. You did a good job representing your candidate. So Ron DeSantis is going to be quite proud of you. All capitals, mixing your racism with your food ideas all in one tweet. Pretty good. Pretty good.

Are there any more DeSantis trolls here? You're funny. Yeah you know what I've started doing is it turns out that the people with mental disorders will label themselves on X if you look for it. Am I right? They'll actually put an icon to label their own mental disorder and you can even tell which one it is. Like you. Oh it's one of those. Mental disorders.

All right if you see a Ukraine flag in a bio what do you know about the person? You know they're not l

egitimate and sane. Now they might be sane and you know just playing a role or they might be insane and not know it but you should not respond to anybody with a Ukraine flag as if you're in a conversation with somebody as a political difference. Nothing like that's happening. Just look at their responses. They will be completely unhinged. Same with the little ocean thing. Same with the masks, righ…
