Comedians are refusing to apologize for extremely offensive jokes and in some instances companies are backing them up. The cast of Guardians of the Galaxy have even come to the defense of James Gunn asking for people to stop weaponizing moral outrage.It would seem that regardless of whether the right acted in bad faith they have neutralized the left's moral outrage tactic and now high profile individuals like Trevor Noah are even pushing back on left wing activists.Political correctness and social justice outrage can only go so far if celebrities have to defend against the same tactics from conservatives and liberals.

Julian Assange Is About To Lose Asylum And Be Arrested according to the intercept and Glenn Greenwald. Ecuadorian president Moreno says that Assange violated the conditions of his asylum by being political but many say the real reason is that he wants to gain favor with the US, Spain, and the UK. Assange was once a darling of the left but for many reasons that has flipped with the left attacking him and the right praising him. What does his loss of asylum mean for journalistic freedom and is Assange more than just a publisher? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ayEV9RGFFg&list=PLxQaod7tWvYICaWgUIpKLZqfs3NRmKkCY&t=0s&index=2 Support the show (http://timcast.com/donate) Learn more about your ad choices.

James Gunn was fired based on rules created by the far left. The right, like Mike Cernovich, is wielding moral outrage mobs against the establishment and many people feel it is in bad faith. In many instances the right is actually directing left wing social justice mobs against themselves, its not even just the tactic its actually the left eating its own But regardless of the intention the rules work. The moral outrage mob will consume anyone for any transgression and it has affected people on both sides. Offensive comedy is not allowed anymore and because of it people like Gunn are fired for saying things online. So is this really about James Gunn saying the wrong thing? Or is this right wing personalities like Cernovich and Posobiec wielding the left's own rules against itself? Support the show (http://timcast.com/donate) Learn more about your ad choices.

After releasing body cam footage the evidence became clear that Harith Augusts was armed and in the video appears to reach for his waist prompting officers to fire.

Professor Mark J. Perry has filed a complaint against sexist women only "diversity" programs and awards. He says that by only allowing women they are excluding male and non-binary people from these programs and under Title IX it is illegal.In many instance he has won and certain programs and spaces have been closed. Some programs kept their name that said "women's" in the title but opened up to all genders.These programs are typically viewed as fighting for social justice and diversity but when women are the majority of college campuses it is only benefiting those who are already in a position of privilege.

A Democratic Socialist has just defeated 10 term incumbent Joe Crowley. This isn't the first time a socialist has held a seat in congress but it is an upset considering the massive difference in campaigns and experience. Crowley outspent Cortez 10 to 1 but still lost in the primary. However, I think this may backfire on the left as many people find socialism too far left and might move to the republican party as an alternative.

A memo was recently leaked showing that not only will they take "special consideration" when dealing with certain speech but they won't support being armed at a rally either.

Jordan Peterson often asks what the indicators are of a Left that has gone too far and I started wondering this myself. No this video is just an opinion piece about how the left has gone too far and take it for what it is.

Employees are slowly becoming more and more mentally distressed due to their workload and actual journalism is being replaced by activism. The result of this is mentally distressed activists writing stories from a skewed perspective to make you behave the way they think you should behave. Mentally distressed activists have taken over Journalism.

A city in Canada has determined that the "A" symbol that represents "anarchy" is a hate symbol and can not be displayed on a building. While Anarchists by definition oppose government controls it tends to be the far left that advocates for these types of hate speech laws. The far left is typically a reference to anarchists, communists, and socialists and it is these groups that often advocate for censoring "hate speech." In turn we are seeing progressive and anarchists face the same censorship they advocate for. UPDATE: After making this video PJW's video was unrestricted.
