Part of this machine is censorship and cancel culture, which scares them into submission and uniformity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more to understand Levin&#8217;s argument regarding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/news-censorship-in-america\/\">censorship in America<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-censorship-and-cancel-culture\">Censorship and Cancel Culture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Levin asserts that the media reinforces <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/social-movement-theory\/\">Marxist indoctrination<\/a> and that it\u2019s also beginning to silence opposition through censorship and cancel culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Levin explains that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/media-propaganda\/\">leftist media<\/a> has begun to engage in censorship in America by endorsing and practicing the social media trend of \u201ccancel culture\u201d that has taken off over the last few years. This new trend seeks to debase any person of power or influence who opposes or offends leftist agendas and ideologies. These opposers are \u201ccanceled,\u201d or in other words, deemed no longer relevant or credible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Cancel Culture: Censorship or Accountability?<\/strong><br><br>Levin explains that cancel culture is a threat to American society because it debases and censors those who oppose leftist ideologies and agendas. However, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/internet\/2021\/05\/19\/americans-and-cancel-culture-where-some-see-calls-for-accountability-others-see-censorship-punishment\/\">research shows that only a small percent of US adults agree with this assertion, while the majority see cancel culture as a tactic used to hold people accountable for inappropriate behavior.<\/a><br><br>Opinions about cancel culture seem to diverge across the political divide\u2014one survey reports that of those familiar with cancel culture, conservative Republicans tend to hold the most negative perceptions of it, while liberal democrats tend to hold the most positive perceptions. More than half of moderate\/liberal Republicans, conservative\/moderate Democrats, and liberal Democrats view cancel culture positively\u2014as actions that hold people accountable. The majority of conservative Republicans (64%) disagree with this statement.<br><br>On the other side of the argument, roughly a quarter of conservative Republicans see cancel culture as a form of censorship, as Levin claims. 85% of moderate\/liberal Republicans and almost all Democrats disagree. And conservative Republicans (13% of them) were the most likely group to agree with Levin\u2019s belief that cancel culture is an attack on traditional American society. These polls reveal that only those on the far right of the political spectrum in the US tend to share Levin\u2019s perspective on cancel culture.&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As this trend of cancel culture grows, Big Tech companies such as Google and Twitter are<em> <\/em>censoring and banning people of their own will. These companies are even blatantly removing articles and profiles that oppose leftist ideologies. Whereas social media used to be a place for people with different points of view to converse, posts are now becoming streamlined into a single leftist voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Divided Conservative Perspectives on Big Tech Censorship<\/strong><br><br>Levin and many other Americans agree that cancel culture and Big Tech censorship are getting out of hand. Most of Big Tech\u2019s censorship is of conservative voices so, naturally, most people who oppose these practices are conservatives such as Levin. Their primary argument is that Big Tech\u2019s censorship is an infringement on their freedom of speech. However, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2021\/06\/18\/koch-silicon-valley-dividing-conservatives-495087\">experts explain that some conservatives, like the Kochs, believe that denying Big Tech this right is actually antithetical to the GOP\u2019s values<\/a>, which emphasize the free market and oppose regulatory intervention\u2014two values Levin advocates for throughout <em>American Marxism<\/em>.&nbsp;<br><br>This split in perspective has divided conservative thinkers on what to do about Big Tech censorship. Some GOP legislators have partnered with Democrats to develop bills to end this censorship. Others, like Koch-backed groups and the US Chamber of Commerce, openly oppose any and all legislation that will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/break-up-big-tech\/\">regulate Big Tech<\/a>. And a third group, including those on the right such as Levin, deplore what Big Tech is doing but doesn\u2019t recommend any legal action to end it. According to the Kochs\u2019 argument, Levin\u2019s ideals seem to indicate that he would oppose legislation ending Big Tech censorship. However, despite his criticism of Big Tech censorship, support for the free market, and opposition to regulatory intervention on businesses, Levin never mentions this legislative debate or his standpoint on it.&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is the media involved in silencing the opposition?
