... or those "prominent politicians" are using "indisputably hateful rhetoric".
- commandlinefan 7y agoWell, that’s the sound-bite/bumber-sticker/I’m-on-the-right-side-of-history-so-I-don’t-care-what-the-collateral-damage-is-as-long-as-Trump-suffers quip, but, no, no they aren’t. When I was young, the censors were all right-wing Christian conservatives, and we successfully (for the most part) fought back against them. One of the most often-repeated weapons in the fight against right-wing censorship back then was, “if you accept censorship of obscenity, you’re going to end up with censorship of political viewpoints”. Yet here we are, in spite of the relatively victory against right-wing censorship, staring down the barrel of much worse left-wing KGB-style censorship.
