    Note that many threats to free speech come from the right trying to censor the left and center (beginning with our would-be Censor in Chief).https://www.wgbh.org/news/commentary/2018/07/03/the-2018-new-england-muzzle-awards-spotlighting-10-who-diminish-free-speech …

        Everybody's been calling out the left for it. But it isn't partisan, it's authoritarian and has to be called regardless of what side of the aisle it comes from.

        Not true. Many people on the left are still strongly in favor of liberty, esp freedom oglf speech.

        I am very disagree with this biased political tweet Very disappointing coming from you. Socialism and all of its derivatives has demonstrated historically the most censorship against free media all over the world In Venezuela the implanted the homogeneous communication

        Are you saying the right has never been censorious? That even a plank exists in the eye of another is no excuse to deny the speck in yours, to put it proverbially.

        It's amazing to me that many liberals think censorship won't hurt us more in the end. It always does. By definition, conservatism favours the status quo and thus is more inherently comptatible with censorship. Historically this is undeniable (Darwin and Galileo, I salute thee).
