    With the impending Ben Shapiro talk at Berkeley, it's clear that people still don't understand the importance of freedom of speech.

        Freedom of speech is suddenly a "conservative" value. Why is that? Have we really given this concept the time that it truly deserves?

        This isn't that much of a revelation, but freedom of speech has become a conservative value because the left has utterly abandoned it.

        I'm still a liberal, and I still support and defend freedom of speech, but the paradigm of the left has shifted from liberal to progressive.

        Freedom of speech USED TO be a progressive value, especially considering the historically radical nature of ideas of "individual rights."

        That individual rights became a mundane, non-partisan part of our value system speaks volumes about the success of the American experiment.

        Freedom of speech ALWAYS guaranteed the right of those without power to speak up against it. It's why we were able to expand legal equality.

        Yet because of the wonky progressive understanding of history, freedom of speech is now understood to be a tool of oppression, somehow.

        Yet just like Pepe, we're running into a situation where it's only a known feature of the "enemy" because it was specifically ceded to them.

        Freedom of speech is an invaluable tool, that allows for the non-violent political paradigm to exist. But it is just that, a tool.

        It is madness to cede the exclusive use of such a useful tool to your enemy, just because you don't like what they supposedly do with it.

        It's the same "Hitler liked dogs, therefore if you like dogs then you're a Nazi" fallacy all over again, but as a full political doctrine.

        Hitler was supposedly a vegetarian. Imagine if progressives tried to claim that eating vegetables made you a Nazi. That's what this is like.

        Hitler drank water. He also breathed air, and used the oxygen to fuel his daily Nazi activities. Are water and air Nazi tools of oppression?

        Freedom of speech is important. So important. Unimaginably important. It's like the water and air of our discourse and political system.

        Refusing to recognize it as a right because the other side used it is to intentionally cripple your freedoms, rights, and your discourse.

        It's like refusing to eat vegetables. Like refusing to drink water. Like refusing to breathe air. You'll end up anemic, weakened, and dead.

        Freedom of speech is the lifeblood upon which your freedom and your rights depend. It is the reason that you are not ACTUALLY oppressed.

        When you claim that freedom of speech is a tool of oppression you sound like a fool. It's a page directly out of 1984. "Freedom is Slavery."

        Labeling people that you don't like "white supremacists" in order to shut them down doesn't actually work, and disempowers the accusation.
