    We should lay off talking about bad stuff that happened in the past because it undermines democracy is a hell of an argument for someone who styles himself a free speech advocate.pic.twitter.com/HBGGl1hbbn

        Admitting the tragedies & crimes that occurred on Jeffrey Epstein's island was a great moral step, but it's gone too far. With democracy threatened, should we be stoking contempt & cynicism about liberal elites?pic.twitter.com/DRUitbKzlo

        The idea that someone can comfortably use the words "centrist historian" is in and of itself, pretty weird.

        Between this, Bari Weiss calling the new Trump anti-race theory mandates 'delicious', and whatever Sullivan's doing now, these people are really letting the mask slip.

        Another example - Ian McEwan leading a group of bigots and cryptofascists in saying that people should stop being mean to JK Rowling

        Saying you shouldn't talk about things that are undeniably true because it's bad for democracy is an anti-free-speech stance.

        "Admitting the infidelity & lies that occurred on my business trip was a great moral step, but it's gone too far. With our marriage threatened, should we be stoking contempt & cynicism about romantic love?"

        Also, I thought a core of pro-Enlightenment thinking was that we should say what we find to be true, no matter the effect of saying it.
