And now they are coming for composers

 This is now banned music:

why? 
Quilette has an interview with the composer LINK

On May 30th, 2020, amid an anti-police-brutality protest in Nashville, TN, several white protesters allegedly attempted to burn down the city’s Metro Courthouse. In response, choral music composer Daniel Elder, who lives nearby, wrote an Instagram post that read, “Enjoy burning it all down, you well-intentioned, blind people. I’m done.”

As Robby Soave recently reported in Reason, this single post resulted in Elder being mobbed on social media, and effectively cancelled as a composer

yes.  Criticism of rich white kids playing brownshirts is now taboo and of course sarcasm is not recognized as sarcasm by SJW, as the satire site Babylon Bee has found out.

Elder has stopped writing music and explains that he is hoping for changes in America that will restore the artistic environment. He says, “There are some principles vital to the healthy artistic environment that I have seen under increasing threat—polluted by intolerance and groupthink. This [is] why I’ve claimed I do not currently compose music: I’m waiting for [a] healthy environment of free thought to return, since it’s necessary for deeply communicative art

Yes.

so essentially the USA, founded on free speech, is allowing a small number of Red Guard to censor anyone who has a bad thought... via the social media pressure on private corporations, and maybe in the near future, via the courts, as Rudy Guilliani found out.

But maybe the public is starting to push back. 

EdDriscoll at Instapundit points out that the many Hispanic and Blacks  voted for Eric Adams, a law and order candidate from the Bronx running for mayor of NYCity.

From the Times:

In a contest that centered on crime and public safety, Eric Adams, who emerged as the leading Democrat, focused much of his message on denouncing progressive slogans and policies that he said threatened the lives of “Black and brown babies” and were being pushed by “a lot of young, white, affluent people.” A retired police captain and Brooklyn’s borough president, he rejected calls to defund the Police Department and pledged to expand its reach in the city.

Black and brown voters in Brooklyn and the Bronx flocked to his candidacy, awarding Mr. Adams with sizable leading margins in neighborhoods from Eastchester to East New York.
