Free speech cannot be hold up for people who are against free speech. You can't be tolerant to intolerant people. That is the hard lesson from German history in the 1920s and 30s. Germany at that time was a very tolerant democracy. They allowed free speech for everyone, democrats, monarchists, nazis, communists... . The result was a power grab of the most violent and intolerant party (this was legal, because you know: free speech!) resulting in the total destruction of German society within 12 years. Censoring intolerant people is just letting them taste their own medicine. It is disappointing to see, that Twitter/X and Musk haven't grokked that, Substack hasn't grokked that, Noam Chomsky hasn't grokked that and the American society as a whole hasn't grokked that.
