the insidious mainstreaming of pro-censorship advocacy is the most dangerous cultural phenomenon of the 21st century. our brief, american liberty has been an unprecedented historical outlier. if we don't fight for freedom, we will absolutely lose it in our lifetime.https://twitter.com/stengel/status/1189157532909981696 …

absolutely surreal to be having a serious conversation about political censorship but ok cool — european countries didn’t start censoring political speech after the third reich. the tool is... pretty much a key feature of fascism!

and you can’t just invoke slavery every time you want to enact some crazy far left statist policy. pretty sure civil rights activists supported free speech when every fount of political power wanted to silence them.

In Germany, at least, a lot of what are called German "censorship" policies in the current US discourse on this matter have actually been pushed/set up by the Allies/the US post-45. Eg no "homeschooling"/compulsory school attendance is explicitly such a policy.
