Such is the arrogance of so many in the media. No, far from being a member of The State's 'Flat Earth Society,' academic Wilson is saying that the Southern Party of devolution is actually the wave of the future. Perhaps even the editors and writers of The State may know the answer too, but simply cannot stand to face the truth. That they cannot is probably reflected in their fear of allowing the mere statement of a contradictory idea to see the black and white of print. Cowards in denial possessing little minds and less integrity, and intent on preserving a false sense of superiority, always resort to silencing their opposition by censorship.
Dialogue becomes fatal to their dissembling and their lies.
Dialogue allows the truth to out. He had no trouble gauging the monolithic attitudes among American journalists and understanding their essential dishonesty. The State deletes the AP's quotation from the Southern Party's website declaring that the new Southern nation will not be racially exclusionist. This must be censored out, for The State must always fall back on the old handy stand that the party, the League, the flag, the South, all stand for racism-and that black people will not be welcome in the party. All attacks on the South, sooner or later always resort to invoking racism as a basis.
