#reithlecture — Public Fediverse posts

I can’t get enough of #rutgerbregman ‘s first #reithlecture . His analysis of the decay of the West seems accurate to me, but what I really love is his optimism for a future built on a moral revolution. His proposition: just imagine what we could achieve if we self organise and work together on meaningful endeavours. I’m compelled to quote nearly everything he says…

Dutch historian and author Rutger Bregman has publicly accused the BBC of censorship, claiming the British broadcaster removed a segment from his prestigious lecture series in which he called Donald Trump “the most openly corrupt president in American history”.

Wondering if Comedians appearing on the BBC are allowed to tell jokes about Trump?

See how the British Establishment is working for a Foreign Paedophile who is selling out Europe to Russia....

#ChimamandaNgoziAdichie delivers first #BBC #ReithLecture 2022 on the subject of #FreedomOfSpeech with her trademark fierceness. Her suggestion of a #CoalitionOfTheReasonable on social media sounds like a #Mastodon network.

Excellent #ReithLecture on #FreedomOfSpeech by #ChimamandaNgoziAdichie. Great that people like #Chimamanda are retrieving this issue from 'free-speech warriors' on the Right but also a lesson for those on the Left tempted into #tribal self-censorship.

Excellent #ReithLecture on BBC today by Chimamanda Ngozi. My generation fought for freedom of speech when we were young. But we relaxed our vigilance and now find that we have to fight all over again. This is so worth listening to, and if you can't get the BBC, she also gave a TED talk. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001fmtz?partner=uk.co.bbc&origin=share-mobile
