The Intimidation Game: How the Left Is Silencing Free Speech By Jonah Goldberg Category: Political Science/Political Commentary In his latest book, "The Intimidation Game," Jonah Goldberg takes on the left's efforts to silence free speech and stifle debate. The author argues that the left has become increasingly intolerant of opposing viewpoints and is using a variety of tactics to shut down dissent. One of the key themes in the book is the idea that the left has created an "outrage industry" that thrives on generating outrage over perceived slights and offenses. This industry is driven by social media, which allows activists to quickly mobilize supporters and spread their message far and wide. As a result, even relatively minor infractions can lead to widespread protests and calls for boycotts. Another important aspect of the left's efforts to silence free speech is its use of "safe spaces" on college campuses. These spaces are designed to provide a safe environment for students who may be triggered by certain ideas or viewpoints. However, as Goldberg points out, this approach can actually have the opposite effect, creating an echo chamber that reinforces existing beliefs and prevents students from being exposed to different perspectives. Overall, "The Intimidation Game" is a thought-provoking look at how the left is using various tactics to silence free speech and stifle debate. The book provides valuable insights into the motivations behind these efforts and offers practical suggestions for combating them. Whether you are a political scientist, student, or simply someone who values freedom of expression, this book is well worth reading.
