TIME Magazine Correspondent Labels Freedom of Speech a “White Male Obsession”

The left has long been absent of concern about hiding their disdain for America.

Further evidence of this is the TIME magazine “national correspondent” Charlotte Alter’s published piece on Friday arguing that freedom of speech is a white male obsession.

This from thegatewaypundit.com.

This is open Marxism. It is tyrannical. And it is everything the left stands for today.

FOX News reported:

In a Friday piece for Time magazine, the outlet’s national correspondent Charlotte Alter dismissed Elon Musk’s quest for free speech on Twitter as a white male “obsession,” and merely an entrepreneurial way to acquire influence and power in the world.

She also claimed that Musk’s idea of free speech is about the right to spread “disinformation” and has nothing to do with the Founding Fathers’ original intent.

Alter began her piece by insinuating that Musk should have put his $44 billion into something more worthwhile than what he sees as “free speech,” a phrase she put in scare quotes throughout the piece.

She wrote, “They say that something is worth what someone will pay for it. If that’s true, then protecting ‘free speech,’ which Elon Musk has cited as a central reason he agreed to buy Twitter for $44 billion this week, may be worth twice as much as solving America’s homelessness problem, and seven times as much as solving world hunger.”

She added, “It’s worth more (to him, at least) than educating every child in nearly 50 countries, more than the GDP of Serbia, Jordan, or Paraguay.”

The author then proceeded to wonder why a rich techie like Musk would even care about freedom of speech and how it “had become paramount concern of the techno-moral universe.”

Final thought, an observation of sorts: Charlotte Alter has made a valid point about the spending of vast sums of personal wealth. She points out the goodness that could be accomplished by aiming the beneficence at homelessness and world hunger. Her target of the attack is grossly misdirected, however, and should, without a doubt, be George Soros et al rather than Elon Musk.
