[PJMedia] The left is becoming more unapologetically totalitarian every day. Every freedom-loving American should be alarmed.

From hounding conservatives out of restaurants to spitting on Trump supporters at rallies, from firing employees for politically incorrect statements to fining people for "misgendering" a person, the left is on a path toward absolutism.

Even some former and current leftists have recognized this intolerant trend and broken from their colleagues, lamenting their intolerance of opposing ideas and disturbing mission to suppress dissenting opinion.

Just the other day, three incidents typifying the left's authoritarianism popped out at me as I was surveying the morning news.

The Federalist reported that venues in three North American cities -- Toronto, Brooklyn, and Portland -- canceled screenings of a movie about Canadian psychologist and author Jordan Peterson because of leftist criticism. Peterson exploded onto the scene in recent years with his no-nonsense, brilliant, and clear-eyed critique of insane cultural trends, especially those concerning gender.

#1 "Conservative speech is dangerous because it is a slippery slope to the adoption of conservative ideas? This must be satire. "

Actually it is a slippery slope. When you weight logic over emotion in one argument you are more likely to do so again and again and the left's arguments can't withstand even basic logic.

#2 This is actually good news. They've got no arguments, otherwise they'd be using them.

Jordan Peterson has a whole passel of excellent arguments to which the Left's only counter is "NAZI!"

#3 Wish I could find a theater to see the film.
Doesn't really have the same impact on a tiny screen.
