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!

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.

the media doesn’t want censorship because of any one of their made up intersectional grievances. they want an ambiguous tool (“hate speech!”) to silence any and all political dissent.
