Oops, look at this–I forgot to post my Newswithviews column this morning. So here it is, a little late.
I was appalled to encounter persons who say they welcome the restriction of free speech. Do they mean it? Well, of course they do–as long as they’re the ones doing the restricting.
Why do they keep yapping about “online hate,” when they’re the biggest haters on the block? Why do they babble about “justice,” when obviously they don’t know the meaning of the word? Wahoo! Shut down everybody’s speech except their own! If they’re not saying it, it can only be misinformation, disinformation, conspiracy theories, and–of course–“hate.” They hate hate.
How many chances will we get to pull them down from their perch?
Who votes for these evil people?
The 2020 election suggests that votes don’t matter.
Whoever thought Elon Musk would become a champion for free speech.
