Letters to the Editor June 8, 2022: Stuck in a time warp
Kudos to
Emily Schrader for her article “China’s threat to a free
press” (June 7). It is crucial that democratic societies understand that
they must not give in to blackmail from totalitarian ideologies. It is
unfortunate that after one hundred years and 100 million dead as the result of
communism, these ideologues still believe that they can intimidate free
societies.
Their
mindset is stuck in a time warp, and they want to drag everyone into this maelstrom.
We must not let that happen.
After all,
as Winston Smith says in 1984, “Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two
makes four. If that is granted, all else follows.”
