What Happens When Truth is Targeted?

"What happens when truth is targeted? When speaking the truth comes with real consequences beyond just arguing with strangers on the Internet? When it makes you Cancel Culture's next target? When standing for truth costs you friendships, or relationships with family, or even your job? When the price of telling the truth means losing revenue for your business, or giving up your public video platform, or sacrificing a social media account that you spent years to build? What happens when telling the truth comes with a price? You say it anyway!

Truth matters. It does not wax and wane based on opinion or feelings or current fads. It does not change because an election is coming up or because Congress decides to outlaw it. It does not shift just because a political party does; even when that political party is yours. It does not stop being truth just because social media platforms have decided it's not fit to print. The foundation of truth was laid by a God Who spoke the universe into existence, whether you believe in Him or not. It does not cease to be truth because someone doesn't like it or because Facebook has decided you can't say it. I am not going to stop speaking truth, even when it hurts. Even when it comes with a cost. Even when people hate it and call me names and threaten me. Even if it means my career never gets past this point right here. Truth is truth. I will not stop speaking it even if I am the last person on Earth still doing so." —Brittany Hughes

Speaking the truth no matter the consequences is a matter of character, honour, and integrity. Unfortunately, most people nowadays do not possess any one of those three things. When truth is not your foundation, you cower from speaking it to others for fear of what they may think or say about you, you retract what you have said because you are more concerned with what others think or say about you, or you water down what you have to say because you are afraid of how the truth might be perceived by someone else or how they might "feel" about it.

Anyone who willingly submits to and goes along with "political correctness" is being intellectually dishonest, demonstrating intellectual bankruptcy, and committing intellectual suicide. This is the way of the hive-mind group-think NPC singularity zombies. When the truth is not on your side, you have to rely on denial, deflection, projection, manipulation, smearing, gaslighting, jamming, framing, ad hominem, character assassination, intimidation, and the use of fallacious arguments that have no basis in reality.
