Drawing Bayesian inferences after extensive sampling, I've determined that it's 99-percent certain that anyone who uses "woke" as pejorative will turn out to be a fuckhead. Please don't blame me for pointing this out--it's just science.

Yup. The First Amendment means the government can't censor you. It doesn't mean that you can't be called a fucking asshole for your terrible, shitty opinions, or can't be shunned for being a horrible person. Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences. https://t.co/Asy2njOK73

There's a crucial difference between a right and a cultural practice, between something like "every human being has a natural right to freedom" and something like "too many of you are too quick to shame/shun people for expressing opinions you don't like, stop that."
Good thread. https://t.co/uUllw86DC9

The distinction between rights and cultural practices isn't just philosophical. Violations of fundamental rights warrant state intervention. Cultural practices you dislike do not.
Falsely equating them is fueling the recent push for state interventions. https://t.co/IK0Unypz0H

Shocked to discover that a thing politically uniting the upper class is “no one should should yell at the upper class”

That is not, in fact, a fundamental right. https://t.co/QRnV77odKc

That feeling when you were going to crank up the Infected Mushroom playlist and get on the bike in order to close the exercise ring, only to find out that the iPod is dead because you forgot to put it on the charger after yesterday’s ride. I suppose I could ride this evening, but pretty soon it’ll be quit hundred hours and the chili is smelling better and it’s 70 outside and a beer will be really nice.

I did find this part interesting; this hints at the underlying "problem," I think. *some people* are feeling a little too free these days to speak their mind, and are doing so in ways that make the people who are *supposed to feel free* feel ashamed. pic.twitter.com/0gIE48tTAx

Yeah—Black people and women could totally speak their minds in the 1950s. Like when my mom, working at Woolworth’s, wasn’t allowed to try on the clothes cause she was Black. Totally spoke her mind about that! https://t.co/KrZFvSFh1m

Opinion | My Free Speech Is More Important Than Your Free Speech.

I have the right to air my edgy opinions on social media. You do not have the right to criticize them.

I fully acknowledge that I am shaming and shunning the NYTimes editorial board.

I offer my hopes and prayers for its successful recovery from this trauma.

Self-restraint = when people I disagree with shut up (good)
Self-censorship = when I shut up (bad)
