There’s no such thing as a conpromise on free speech, and that’s not the goal. The objective is not to find a center but to pull as far to my side as I can. That’s why I might support censorship of the other side. _because_ I know when they get in power they’ll do the same on the opposite side. This theory is played out by the fact that Facebook does a 180 like days before Trump takes over.
Not censoring the other side isn’t functionally useful, in fact, if I don’t censor the other side the pendulum will swing even farther.
In general I feel like there’s this false premise that if the left had handled this better the right wouldn’t be so mad. I think that’s wrong the right was always going to pull right, no matter the starting point.
Need to start a countdown on the return of witch hunting.
“This really hit the most extreme during theBiden administration when they were trying to roll out the vaccine program. "
“While they're trying to push that program, they also tried to censor anyone who is basically arguing against it. They pushed us super hard, to take down things that were honestly true."
“They basically pushed us and said,'anything that says that vaccines might have side effects you basically need to take down.’”
