In the current American climate the marketplace of ideas and protection of dissents are two essential values. The combination of these two ideas will allow for increased nuance and real representation for what the people want. The average person I know is not happy with the government. They do not trust their representative and do not feel as though they embodied their beliefs. America is split between two options while some ways agree with those allowing all to speak is invaluable to progress in America.
One example is the War in Ukraine in which Biden has regularly sent money to aid Ukraine. According to the State Department American has sent 15.2 billion dollars of aid as of September 8, 2022. People are being silenced for not supporting this war effort because they are unpatriotic. In reality we send money and aid to groups that we do not know or understand. People including myself feel a little foolish because we supported it in the beginning but as this war drags on tax dollars are being spent to kill Russian who we are not at war with. People who remind the government of this fact are not being heard from on public forums.
When the government steps in and starts to tell the American People what they must do they are silencing dissent and ransacking the marketplace of ideas. During Covid these events happened to no end. Fuachi’s way was the right way. Robert Malone invented mRNA vaccines like the one used to treat Covid and he is concerned about their effectiveness. The government still insists that you take this serum to save yourself. It was mentioned in an interview with Steve O’Bannon on his podcast that he is concerned the vaccine could make Covid worse. America got no say in whether they would take it they had to, especially in California and New York. The doubts with this vaccine should be well known but because the government does not believe we are smart enough or capable enough to handle the information they hid it. They hid it so we will not question their judgment.
We are not only the victim of the lack of marketplace of ideas and protection for dissents but also the perpetrator of it. We are so quick to believe what the government tells us. We wish to fed from a bottle like kids and not take action and responsibility towards expanding the American Platte. When we pick a side and cling to their ideas we do ourselves and future generations a disservice.
The development of canceled culture is how we censor ourselves. We allow people with ideas different from ours offend us so deeply that we wish to see them removed. We have created this American narrative that is destructive to anything that does not follow the story. I would encourage all American unclench from their ideas to pursue the Market of Idea. While exploring the Market do not shut people down but hear them out. We should hold our government to a higher standard that they would not prevent us from exploring all options on the table.
