Remember all the grievances about the previous executive administration's "Twitter Files" censorship? Rules for thee, but not for me.
To be clear, I think both censorship regimes are not good, but I can't say I'm surprised.
- barbacoa 8mo agoThe pendulum is in full swing. Soon it will be ban worthy offense to suggest there are more than two genders. Though I am morbidly enjoying the irony of seeing those on the left suddenly discover an interest in free speech, and those on the right discover their love for campaigning to get people deplatformed.
- bradgessler 8mo agoI'm beginning to put together that party-lines are strictly about gaining and holding power at all costs. Irony disappears through that lens and the way people act makes much more sense.

The idea the government needs to step in to tell HR departments what mixture of ideas they’re allowed to hire and reward is ridiculous. That is an actual affront to free speech. If you don’t like woketard social dynamics, make your own HR department that lacks them, duh.
