      The most famous flagrant violation of the First Amendment was John Adams' Alien and Sedition Acts, sure But those were much more short-lived than most Southern states having official legislation against abolitionist newspapers

      Hell during Jim Crow it was actually illegal in Mississippi to even advocate for equality, as I recall. Free speech, like many constitutional rights, is a wonderful thing, but liberal discourse around it is trying to *avoid having to take a side* on ideological correctness

      Well sure but it isn't actually a closed question over whether these "meta" debates over legal principles are completely meaningless

      If you really believe that laws are never enforced for the benefit of the marginalized and are always enforced for the benefit of the rulers then it doesn't matter what the law says one way or the other does it It could say anything at all

      But most of us do think that, cynical Foucauldians as we may be, it makes a difference whether we live in a country that says freedom of speech is a universal right and one that says the state has a sovereign right to prevent and punish all forms of sedition

      Lots of Chinese people fighting hard for the prize of US citizenship and the various guarantees that come with it, even at the potential cost of renouncing their PRC citizenship Not a lot of people going the other direction

      (There's a lot of people who want to *live* in China but not a single one of them, whatever their ethnicity, has applied to gain PRC citizenship at the cost of renouncing their US or Canadian or Australian citizenship It's not a thing that happens)

      Sorry if this sounds conservative but Orwell, who got attacked a lot for being a Red Tory for this attitude, nonetheless was fond of challenging his fellow socialists in the 1930s "If Hitler invades Britain are you personally going to flee to New York or to Moscow"

      And got really annoyed at how elaborately people ended up trying to avoid directly answering this question

      I mean I realize my take here is intemperate and probably not useful but idk I fundamentally don't accept that the existence of Fox News et al is some inevitable pillar of a world that maximizes the nourishment of my well-being and that doing anything about it would imprison me

      Yeah but Fox News' existence is the contingent result of a lot of factors in our society, not just the existence of the First Amendment Repealing it wouldn't let you just wave a magic wand and ban it either

          Buying Fox News and gutting it and burning down the building would be a lot more satisfying.

          Yeah but "the existence of Fox News is related to more things than the existence of the First Amendment" and "it would be a fundamental betrayal of our ideas and slide us into totalitarianism to decisively address the problem of Fox News" are different arguments to me
