    I don't. It's the authoritarian extremes who threaten free speech. Most of us satisfied with responding to or ignoring ideas we don't like.https://twitter.com/Gil_Ant/status/911583344864919552 …

        besides anecdotal experience, there appears to be a growing trend. From harvard study here: https://qz.com/848031/harvard-research-suggests-that-an-entire-global-generation-has-lost-faith-in-democracy/ …pic.twitter.com/3EbjZOefEN

        Hmm. It's a bit like 90% of drivers believe they're above average. Most authoritarians do not consider themselves so.
