More evidence that the Progressive agenda is anything but. Based on a spurious argument that her activities "could lead to loss of life", Patreon has chosen to delete Lauren Southern's account, depriving her of much-needed income to support her work as an independent journalist and commentator. Ms. Southern has repeatedly shown much courage by in fact placing herself in the midst of precarious, sometimes even dangerous, circumstances in pursuit of real news events and happenings.
Is she totally unbiased, does she refrain from expressing an opinion in response to what she sees happening around her in her effort to cover the news from a street-level perspective? Can such a being actually exist?
Well, no, Lauren's not a robot, and certainly her feelings and perspectives regarding what she observes in the world around her are what motivates her to engage in the work. When she smells a story, she moves in to capture authentic video of the happenings, digs deep to uncover the truth largely (if not entirely) ignored by the legacy media, and wraps it up in a reasoned overview that unfortunately rankles the left more than it instructs.
Lauren cannot be blamed for the intellectual resistance she encounters from that part of her audience objecting to opposing views. But, as a result of the suppressive action taken by Patreon, she can certainly be punished for it. And yet... she vows to continue in spite of this financial setback, and does so with a smile on her face. Personally, I applaud that sort of conviction.
