Weird. Does anybody else remember that one time where the right was united around the idea that loud and disruptive protests were the pinnacle of free speech?

- klyrs 4y agoOh, I didn't say right or wrong. Just noticing bias in biased media.
- Veen 4y agoIt's not particularly illuminating to talk about "the right" and "the left" as if they were monolithic groups. Canadian truckers and U.S. judges don't have a great deal in common. I mean, doesn't it seem silly to say: "Canadian truckers were loud and disruptive when protesting pandemic vaccine mandates, therefore there are no grounds for a U.S. judge who dislikes same-sex marriage to complain about a Stanford law school dean disrupting his talk?"

- nhchris 4y agoSurely we can agree that a protest out on the streets, or inside a lecture hall, differ. And for outdoors, "loud and disruptive" is the norm. There the line is usually drawn at violence.
