      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 …

      increasingly the argument for censorship is "europe does it." I would remind pro-censorship activists europe is also the continent of marx and hitler, and there are literal members of the nazi party still alive in germany today. in liberty, americans do not follow. we lead.

          Maybe the reason they have hate speech laws is because they have a lived experience as a society with genocide, whereas America has never really come to terms with its own history slavery, Jim Crow, Cointelpro, taking Native American lands, etc.

          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!

          Your argument is that speech censorship directly led to the rise of Nazis and failed Socialism?

          As a European who moved to the US, I do wonder why "every other country does it" is always used as a statement of something's worth, as if the exception must be behind rather than ahead. It's entirely possible that every other country can be wrong about something.

          That, and the practical effect, in England, at least, being the routine incarnation of ppl who hurt other people’s feelings with mean words - a prospect that should offend the basest senses of every American.

          I’ve lived on 4 continents and am not uninformed of US failures, but when I quote tweeted this on 10.30.19 I did so with a sense of pride and apolitical patriotism for the idea of America. I wish saying “in liberty, americans do not follow. we lead.” still rang true today.

          Europe has been around for milleniums, the "greatest country in the world" for 10-30 times less (depending to which EU country one compares), so your argument doesn't hold. You just hadn't had the time to produce your own monumental idiots, but you are trying really hard.
