> Criticizing progressive speech codes is carrying water for the other side

Wow. Do you realize how dangerous that attitude is for humanity? There is not a political, religious, or moral philosophy on this earth that should be beyond criticism for the inside or they outside.

I disagree. Sometimes the best thing you can do for your chosen side is to act as a check on its most fringe elements.

>... because it’s the only side criticizing it.

That's an absolute that's not true. I've seen a variety of people lambaste it, from right-wingers to independents, apolitical folk to even some progressive folk. Isn't nuance neat? :)

I am a progressive and I think the speech codes are silly and sometimes even harmful.
