An intellectual revelation on media hype, insults, and language meant to shut down race realists, the politically incorrect and other “dissidents.”
“Our featured guest today will be Dr. Tomislav Sunic. Dr. Sunic, who last appeared with us on June 22, is a Croatian American writer and professor and author of Homo Americanus: Child of the Postmodern Age. We will focus on the scare factor; linguistic and psychological methods used by former communists – and now the liberal media, to defame, malign and attempt to discredit their intellectual opponents.” — James Edwards

The topic of Dr Sunic’s talk is the semantic distortions surroundingthe expression “hate speech.” His main argument wasthat the “liberal system, by using ‘soft narratives’ and ‘sentimentalnormative locutions,’ is no less dangerous than the violence andvulgarity of communist double-speak. It is less transparent andtherefore it better deceives the masses.”
