Oh please. Are far right and right organizations bastions of free speech ? How many churches and religious organizations are writing memos on gay rights or abortion rights ? Zero.
- briantakita 9y agoFree Speech is not identity politics. Free speech covers a gay person's right to speech & the right for abortion supporters to speak their mind. Free speech also covers the speech of people on the political right (& left). Free speech is a fundamental American value. Identity Politics are not about rights but about granting privilege to the "victim" groups & in it's extreme form, to justify oppressing the rights of people who don't buy into the dogma. Not the same thing. Free speech is about freedom. The Identity Politics that we see today is about Autocracy.
