Among the Left’s most effective tactics have been misdirection and projection.

Whining about a mythical ‘stifling of dissent’ — prominently, in global media they largely control — while advocating ‘hate speech’ provisions, star chambers like the Canadian Human Rights Commissions and the ‘Fairness Doctrine’.

Accusing opponents of ‘shredding the Constitution’ while they assualt the first and second amendments, and while activist judges make law by fiat.

Talking about equality, tolerance and ‘social justice’ while Balkanizing society into ethnic, racial and gender-based grievance groups, complete with a hierarchy of moral worth, special pleading and entitlements, and relative merit before the eyes of the law.

Indeed, as a rule, the Left’s loudest complaints are a good indication of what sort of behavior it is engaging in.
