we all learn about him when we read the crucible in high school and we are told about the dangers of witch hunts in social stuides etc.

McCarthy ism. I've heard it mainly used as an attempt to discredit by leftist, and as a Yeah But by right wing personal ities. Cuz he was right
Jeremiah Kelly
It's considered negative by most everyone, except some fiercely anti-communist groups.
Most burger normal faggots know nothing politically, even in a national sense. They simply know how to LARP politics effectively enough to not sound stupid to other normal faggots. They could be persuaded either way on most anything, including this. But its safe to assume that they may have heard of McCarthyism, and that it was bad. 3/4 of my textbooks on history railed against anti-Communism.

Everyone hates him for pushing Russian conspiracy htoeries
Today you are universally seen as a good liberal for pushing Russian conspiracy theories.
Ironically at least McCarthy (eventually) turned out to be correct about some things
en.wikipedia.org
he was wrong about a lot of things
Largely it was because he was the victim of counter intelligence, but he also simply wasn't a professional intelligence officer and couldn't accurately asses the intel that former CIA people were giving him. He was just a senator after all.
Tyler Jenkins
Dulles spun McCarhty (supplie dhim flase info) and played him like a fiddle
McCarthy was allied with ex-CIA officers who were enraged that the CIA refused to prosecute known communist spies
Luis Bennett
Most high school history won't even cover him. University will cover it and it's exclusively negative. Literally those poor hollywood commie kikes dindu nuffin'... but really in hind sight and seeing just how obviously red hollywood and left is today, it was there all along.
McCarthy was a true american patriot who gave our country another 50 years of freedom.

Austin Anderson
all the current conspiracies about "russia hacking the election" are seen as mccarthy-esque by regular liberals
otherwise, most Americans don't know or care who he is
Nathan Reyes
It's interesting how intricately the reds analyzed anti-communist groups, then applied ideological subversion to social structures where these groups had no influence. They actively sought out social institutions which were supposed to be impartial, and tried to demoralize them first, especially academia.

Benjamin Perry
I see. Kek even in our history class in France, in high school, we have a short focus about him about the cold war
Christian Moore

>McCarthy was a true american patriot who gave our country another 50 years of freedom
I thought freedom of speech and freedom of association were true american values?
didnt macarthy take a shit on all that because of muh reds under muh beds ?
Wyatt Bailey
Negatively. They basically teach that he was on a "witch hunt" for communists in the film industry and imply that these communists never existed.
Jose Bailey
No. Liberal education means that any commie witch hunting is frowned upon.
He was literally one of our most based senators that actually was a decent patriot.
Noah James
this is all on the CIA web page btw
It's just common sense
You take something everyone assumes is unbiased (academia, media) and then make it incredibly biased while at the same time maintaining the pretense of those institutions remaining unbiased.

public schools teach it as McCarthy being a bad guy picking on poor old hollywood (jews) and politicians (jews)
Nolan Green
How ironic, that it's basically the left's ideological foundation to talk about the Russian hackers, while I personally am a Russian hacker AND deny that Russian hackers exist.
Really makes you think.
Christopher Lee
In around 11th grade they taught it in literature class no less, as we watched a movie about the salem witch trials haha.
Even in AP US History and AP Gov it was barely talked about.
They mainly attempted to indoctrinate us by comparing it to the witch hunts of the puritan era, and talked about all the negative violence and distrust it cause.
Daniel Adams
>I thought freedom of speech and freedom of association were true american values?
Being a communist agent isn't an American value.
Basically what McCarthy did was take information he had from ex-CIA agents and use that to build a case in congress to make and official investigation.
Congress can call anyone it wants during a hearing so he called up all the people fingered by ex-CIA agents (typically communists in Hollywood)
Then those communists either named names or refused to talk (meaning they're in contempt of court)
There is literally nothing in the constitution that says you're allowed to be a communist agent supplying information to the USSR.
Parker Price
>didn't mccarthy (attempt to suppress) freedom of speech/association
If you listened to the hollywood kikes they said they weren't red or even socialist... it's wasn't illegal to say these things or identify/associate as communist at any point, there are/were actively pro-communist groups even then, the whole thing is they were saying they weren't when they were and using to propagandize on tv/radio (which they were), just like they do today with cultural marxism as I hope you realize.

Check out this detailed McCarthy presentation by Molymeme! McCarthy was an american hero and the commie left hates him for it.
Cooper Peterson
Nobody acknowledges he was right.
He gets blamed for HUAC, which he had nothing to do with.
Eli Smith
>Being a communist agent isn't an American value.
But allowing political ideas you don't like is.
Jordan Parker
>Reading the Crucible
>Reading
When I was in high school we just watched the movie version.
Same thing with The Great Gatsby (the shitty new one I might add) and Animal Farm. Although I read it myself because I like George Orwell.
I graduated in 2014, it's probably more fucked up now.
Levi Scott
inb4 no communist spies in the US
en.wikipedia.org
"spying" is not an "idea"
It's espionage for a foreign power that was at the time attempting to overthrow the country.

>refused to talk (meaning they're in contempt of court)
how does that work with the 5th amendment of your constitution? I thought that was what gave you the right to silence?
Ayden Nguyen
McCarthyism is a slur, and he's used as a strawman for fear-mongering and character assassination on baseless claims.
Despite the evidence coming from declassified intel vindicating him, they just ignore it or if ever pressed they'll say, "Well there's no way he could have known, he didn't have access to it!"
To normies, McCarthy=Bad man.
Aaron Gonzalez
Best video on McCarthy -- can be a redpill for many:
Oliver Flores
5th amendment only applies to self incrimination
en.wikipedia.org
It doesn't apply to refusing to give information about crimes that would incriminate other people.
see: mob movies when low level mobsters go to jail for refusing to give information that would put higher up mob bosses in jail.
Cooper Perry
Pretty much this. Americans get a lot of their political knowledge through social queues in our entertainment and news media. In other words, they get a leftist and to an extent jewish worldview. It's really kind of pathetic.
Dominic Morris
Fuck Arthur Miller, traitorous faggot.
I fucking hate normies, a SENATOR cannot be on the HOUSE Committee of Unamerican Activities. Grinds my gears too m8.
Nathaniel Mitchell
The new standards of education not to frustrate the dumbs people ?
Jonathan Brown
Yeah bro, it's a fucking joke.
Colleges have remedial classes for incoming freshmen from math to English, it's a sick fucking joke.
That's why they're often called Diploma mills, they don't do shit but make sure you graduate.
Nobody wants to fail people because then their stats look bad and people would be held accountable for not doing their fucking job, or parents would have to accept they're selfish shitheads who neglected their children.
Hunter Wright
(((Arthur Miller)))
Charles Carter
I see, it's pretty the same here, everyone has to be on the same level and shit
