Wow! I am utterly disappointed with Billy Corgan in regards to Free Speech! After watching his interview on InfoWars.com, it is clear that not only is he part of the 45+ year olds who are in the bottom 20% voting for Bernie Sanders, he is uneducated! His mind is back in the 1960s/1970s era, and he has no idea what is going on! He has no idea what civil rights movements are, and he doesn’t know that Bernie Sanders is participating in one! Instead, he’s talking to others on racism; yet, he does not know where he stands on it. Pretty soon, it will not matter because Corgan will go on to have success with his band, Smashing Pumpkins. Then, he will become another Wall Street sellout because Wall Street executives are his meal ticket, and he does not want to bite the hand that feeds him.
Billy Corgan actually appears like a typical Hillary Clinton supporter - not too Left and definitely somewhere in the middle! He most likely is Libertarian after listening to his interview. He believes in little government, Free Speech, regulation on drones, limits on the National Security Agency (NSA), and anti-communist practices; though, his take on limiting demonstrators and socialism is questionable! He states Social Justice Warriors (SJW) are a fad and typical, uninformed youth; yet, he appears to have no knowledge on how human rights, civil rights, and laws were formed - even protective rights, like Free Speech and women’s rights to vote! Of course, he states that he knows people don’t make change by simply sitting on their asses; yet, he implies he wants to limit youth who are currently marching in the streets! Though he can empathize with those marching in the streets, he doesn’t believe in the way they are doing it - particularly because he has no knowledge of ever doing it. No, his kind are like horses fed grass off the hand of a “humanism” (as he states humanity) - only to be a slave on the race track winning loads of money for its owner and trainer! He has learned to become complacent for the opportunity to become Wall Street kind - successful! He actually voiced his worry of America becoming like the books Animal Farm and 1984 when really, he joined that particular system!

Do not tell Billy Corgan, or anyone sharing his political viewpoint that because then it would be like taking the blinders off the horse! No, instead they should merely join Hillary Clinton and all her blind supporters who want to fund Wall Street, so that Wall Street can fund the American economy by expanding it overseas to other countries and other systems which may or may not share American values, while exploiting their workers and resources. After all, the American way is believing that we are superior - it does not matter what it takes to WIN! Instead of calling it conquest, however, we will call it global development, and we will share it with others who are just as mesmerized by our own development as we are! Yes, the US is a leader in innovation and foreign affairs! We have a great sense of nationalism, too. Anti-communists will tell you we are nothing like a totalitarian government because capitalism drives our society. We are Independent! We are Free! We have Liberty! We decide our own destiny! Nothing is wrong with the US!
That is a great sense of disillusioned arrogance! The US is a major country, but it has issues with poverty, inequality, homeland security, and foreign relations! Its citizens had to bail out its own banks that were "too big to fail," which are also part of the great Wall Street! Citizens lost homes, retirement, jobs, and savings! How can anyone like Billy Corgan, or anyone else with similar beliefs think Americans do not have the right to rebel against a system now trying to suppress them? Taxpayers bailed out Wall Street, and what has Wall Street done in return? Lowered interest rates? Designed new contracts for homeowners? In fact, how much did the government have to twist Wall Street's arm to work with the American people and save the American economy? These questions do not apply to Wall Street executives, however, since the CEO is never questioned! Now, what does communism really sound like?
Some of us in the US know that it is hard to change a person's point-of-view (POV) who is not accustomed to change. That is a given! However, for a person to judge another and not have experienced that person's journey, upbringing, or circumstances can and does deem that person ignorant to some of the ways of the world. Perhaps the Wall Street kind, with their capitalist success, do not really know what happens on Main Street! Perhaps there are some people who are just too comfortable in their luxurious house, with their luxurious setting and their luxurious staff to really know how the real world really works. They tend to know only what they are accustomed to, and have no idea that the market really is volatile - particularly after taxpayers just bailed out their high-class friends!
The only difference between groups of people is their position in power, which I touched on here. There are celebrities who use their fame (power) to bring a sense of awareness, or merely state their opinion. For Billy Corgan to proceed with an interview in which he clearly has no sound logic in his statements, and simply expressed fear with the direction the US is headed due to books he read where a communist government took over; therefore, government should be limited, as well as people who abuse their right to exercise Free Speech is preposterous! It is obvious Corgan has no idea what he is talking about, is not cultured, and is blind to some of the ways of the world... like a lot of similar folk! Sure, nationalism can be good if used to boost pride in citizens, which to do so would mean to have a strong economy, happy people, and plenty of opportunity!
For any other libertarian who blindly blames the government and follows Wall Street tactics, welcome to the New America! Welcome to a nation that honors its people by defending their rights to the Constitution while trying to solve real-world problems that matter! If you have not been watching, reading, or following along on social media, it is where these rights are hindered or challenged that matter! Trump supporters can gather and speak, but Bernie supporters cannot march on the streets and speak because public property is only for those who look like they pay taxes to build and sustain that street! Free Speech is okay as long as it does not occur on social media, nor reaches far and wide because free speech is limited to the US only, and only with context deemed unharmful. In fact, that is why the NSA and Patriot Act exist to monitor such content within the nation because Free Speech has to be limited! One cannot state he or she is going to do harm and get away with it - particularly because there are real crazies who are willing to harm free citizens!
No country can have its cake and eat it too, unless it is an oligarchy for the few! In fact, most people may say that capitalism works because it is a free market, while others deem it risky if not regulated. In this sense, that is how many nations work! Government is limited to the protection of rights granted to its citizens, while citizens must work to make sure their rights are not being infringed or suppressed. Really, people are quick to blame the government, but without government, would we really be able to sustain our rights? Would we really be able to defend ourselves? Would we have order and organization without legislation? There are those who are quick to criticize others for standing up for what they believe in - only to forget that humanity has progressed because brave souls stood up for what they deemed was right, and made it law, or made it infamous! Sure, sometimes these people were right, and sometimes they were wrong, but the people who mattered and made a difference made their way into history books and legislation, so if you really believe in Free Speech - do not limit it! If you really believe in capitalism, look for ways to succeed without trampling on the rights and lives of others. If you really believe in self-defense, prepare to really defend yourself - even if it means losing friends and the respect of others! After all, no one size fits all, and humanity is just that - human beings.
