How can we take the threats of authoritarian regimes seriously when allegedly ‘free’ countries are arresting people for posting memes?

Jarrett Stepman: It says a lot about America 's fading legacy media establishment leaders that they've decided to use up the last shreds of their credibility to glorify censorship.

In a speech in Germany on Friday , Vice President JD Vance excoriated European governments for retreating from the principle of free speech.

He says the true threat to the West isn’t coming from China or Russia , but from within.

Jarrett Stepman : Sen. Brennan said the Holocaust was really the result of too much free speech.

He says the Nazi Party’s crime was not that it “weaponized” free speech, but that it used government power to impose a totalitarian ideology.

Stepman says the media has been reduced to cheerleading censorship regimes and making up historically laughable arguments to falsely connect their critics to Nazi Germany .
