      The thing that really bugs me about the @sama perspective is that it sharply reframes the power dynamics. Instead of "some people who feel attacked by bigotry are pushing back" we get "the person spewing the bigotry is under attack for 'heresy'"

      And the second framing is asking people who want to push back against systemically fucked up excuses for bad behavior to tone it down. To leave space for the people propagating the excuses to innovate.

      And somehow, the argument twists itself into a pretzel of asking people not to say things they believe in order to avoid creating an environment where people can't say what they believe.

      So they end up believing that we need to tolerate a belief in "biological inferiority", but we can't handle the targets of that bigotry pushing back.

      Again, it's just a complete rewriting of the power dynamics, but the rewriting is so complete that it's not even always easy to see it.

      Good heuristic: if you're telling the targets of an attack (and their friends) to tone down to make space for the ideas of an attacker, you've lost the plot.

          Eh, the problem with that is each side thinks they're being silenced and the other side is the attacker. And you can't honestly resolve that without setting yourself up as a some supposed absolute arbiter of who is right in that debate.
