It's far more than free speech being killed. "If you're not with us, you're against us". "Silence is violence". Remember Pol Pot? If you're not a revolutionist, then you're counter-revolutionary.
That said, isn't this logical under the moral framework of our political correctness? You're either correct or you are not, after all. It's a binary decision. If you're not correct, why do you insist staying incorrect? If you do, of course you're a bigot, a racist, a xenophobia, a fascist, or an evil person. So, all conservatives "should be jailed". All republicans "are evil". A black police is a "black Judas", as yelled by a protester. A group of protestors can trespass private property, and the property owner is public enemy no. 1 if he stands in front of his house with a rifle. Residents in Seattle CHAZ have nothing and "should not have nothing to complain" because CHAZ "is Summer of Love", and because "personal loss is nothing compared with fighting justice". Really, there's really no boundary under the current moral framework of the US progressives.
And isn't this what we really want? All the media I read or used to read, be it The Atlantic, the WAPO, the New Yorker, the NYT, the NBC, the CNN, the ABC. They all tell me that we should brace such moral framework. We should join such progressive movement. We should ditch law and order when a nation is hurt and sinned. We should examine what we believe and cancel what's evil. See, if "math is racist", what else is not?
And really, isn't this what we choose? We chose to vote Kshama Sawant, for instance. Then, it shouldn't be a surprise that she led hundreds of people to break into Seattle City Hall, and why is it a surprise that she or someone leaked the mayor's home address even though the address is classified by law?
Either we have a better moral framework, or we probably will have to accept what we have now and more in the future.
