It is very curious that the ususally extremely loud "free speech" crowd from the US is so silent when the free speech violations happen now.
Banning literal words and then deleting research based on those words? If you needed a sign that you're well on your way into authotarianism, it doesn't get a lot clearer than that.
If you are for free speech only it it is for your side, you are not for free spech. In fact, I believe if you uncritically tow any party line, you gave up on critical thinking.
- rsynnott 2y agoThere certainly are people in the US who are very concerned with free speech, and they're generally outraged by stuff like this. When the likes of Elon Musk go on about 'free speech', though, they actually mean ideologically correct speech.

Oh boy, oh boy. I'm so exited to be the bearer of bad news here!! The people who believe in free speech as a matter of principal, not as a means to another political end are saying things like "fucking called it" and "told ya so" and making memes about how the demographics who are currently pissed off about this should have listened to them in years past and not lent political will to equally ham fisted stupidity that paved the way to this. Which is basically the same thing that A LOT of single issue communities are saying right about now.
