No, this is not the phenomenon that post is referring to.
- paulddraper 8mo agoThe phenomenon is "I believe X" and the reaction is "SO YOU DON'T BELIEVE Y." Elsewhere people have reacted to a situation by saying "I believe this is okay, because free speech." But those people didn't include this specific incident, so they apparently don't believe in this one.
- relaxing 8mo agoThe difference is a statement on waffles is not a statement on pancakes, but a statement on absolute free speech is a statement on all speech. The first one is using a statement on an adjacent issue to demand attention on one’s own pet issue. The latter is calling out alleged hypocrisy.
