A Forum for Vigorous Debate, Cornerstone of Democracy

***********************************************************************************************************************************
A FORUM FOR FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND VIGOROUS DEBATE, CORNERSTONES OF DEMOCRACY
[For the journal--guidelines, focus, etc.--go to www.theamericandissident.org. If you have questions, please contact me at todslone@hotmail.com. Comments are NOT moderated (i.e., CENSORED)!]
Encouraged censorship and self-censorship seem to have become popular in America today. Those who censor others, not just self, tend to favor the term "moderate," as opposed to "censor" and "moderation" to "censorship." But that doesn't change what they do. They still act as Little Caesars or Big Brother protectors of the thin-skinned. Democracy, however, demands a tough populace, not so easily offended. On this blog, and to buck the trend of censorship, banning, and ostracizing, comments are NEVER "moderated." Rarely (almost NEVER) do the targets of these blog entries respond in an effort to defend themselves with cogent counter-argumentation. This blog is testimony to how little academics, poets, critics, newspaper editors, cartoonists, political hacks, cultural council apparatchiks, librarians et al appreciate VIGOROUS DEBATE, cornerstone of democracy. Clearly, far too many of them could likely prosper just fine in places like communist China and Cuba or Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Russia, not to mention Sweden, England, and Austria.

Subject: Critiques impubliables dans la Belle Province... des Ecrivains faibles

 

Salut les écrivains québécois du Devoir,

Moi, poète/dessinateur archi-critique/inconnu, j’ai satirisé dans une nouvelle vignette Christian Demeules, qui a choisi, sans aucune surprise, de ne pas y répondre.  Pour la vignette ci-attachée, voir wwwtheamericandissidentorg.blogspot.com/2022/02/christian-desmeules.html.  


Comme je vous ai écrit il y a une année:  

Mais où donc se trouvent les critiques—les vrais critiques—au Québec aujourd’hui ?  Il semble que la littérature soit complètement centralisée dans ta Belle Province comme c’était le cas à l’ancienne Union soviétique !  Solzhenitsyn doit se retourner dans sa tombe !  


Ouais, il y avait à une époque Steak Haché.  Mais malheureusement cette revue a disparue.  Les mains des écrivains québécois sont tendues vers les sources monétaires et non pas vers la vérité.  Que c’est triste.  Est-ce que Le Devoir publierait ce courriel, la vignette en question et/ou ce qui se trouve icitte:  theamericandissident.org/quebec/quebec.html ?  Et ben, nous tous savons la réponse…


Au plaisir,



G. Tod Slone (PhD—Université de Nantes, FR), aka P. Maudit, Founding Editor (1998)
