you'll be used to shut down everyone right of center

your action will be entirely selfish

I'm telling you we're already shut down

it really can't get much worse

the US still has freedom of speech

ok then from that perspective we'll be only making things worse

you're taking a lot for granted

only in public do we have freedom of speech

go look at free speech in the USSR or nazi germany

or modern commie states today

it can get a lot worse

over night

high road

it's a lot better here yes but germany is not a golden standard

also there is no freedom of speech in corporations or universities or within govt agencies

anyone with right wing views is removed from most companies and universities

coming from unfairly supressed to fairly supressed because of some assholes who vandalized private property

and forget EO complaints in the public sector

companies - you're right, academia- varies, govt - you're right, but I understand why the govt would limit freedom of speech for its employees

I am right on all those counts

academia does not vary much

private property people in center-right positions defend

academia has tenure

barely relevant

almost every professor tenured or otherwise is a soft communist

and peer review in all disciplines has broken down

that's the same position antifa takes

if someone disagrees with me

then free speech doesn't matter

free speech is a noble position for a government to take

if someone is spreading evil it is not noble for individuals to leave them be

and the difference between us and antifa in that case is that we're right and they are wrong

I think we're getting far away from the point of this issue

btw, it has always been disallowed to publically criticize your superiors in the military

I don't care for your moral relitivists gotchas

jesus

you have no idea what I'm talking about with the military

I'm not a moral relativist

you don't know how heavy the EO programs are

you're being a relativist when you you're compromising on values because lefty profs disagree with you

pacifism is not a value of mine
