Far more so. In corporate world or “respectable” neighborhoods/organizations you can’t voice any controversial thought if it is a reality that privileges the privileged.

I would also argue that large corporate entities (Amazon/Google/Facebook) that are at best a failed technocratic liberal experiment and at worst are private rightwing institutions, are a much bigger threat to free speech than some abstract notion of Marcuse’s repressive tolerance

It’s hilarious that you and Chait believe that ideological categories like liberal, progressive, conservative, moderate have fixed, ascertainable meanings, and that you can accurately classify people. It’s a silly assumption, however useful it may be to the commentariat.
