On one hand, it’s wrong that the “elites” mock the feelings, concerns and perspectives of the working class. On the other hand, it’s perfectly fine to mock liberals who still see covid as a threat to them personally. Probably because one group are real Americans, the other not. https://t.co/PzwC5OQER9

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Freedom of speech is apparently when I get to say whatever horrible bigoted thing I want and you never challenge me on that thinking and also you have to love me and tell me how very smart and bold I am and you have to invite me to all the parties and like all my posts and give m

In all my years covering activism, not sure I’ve seen a “drive to another region, stage a protest that ends up only causing a small amount of disruption, then call the police on the people who actually live there” theory of change before. https://t.co/Is7WjWlgJj

According to the termination letter of this Assistant Principal he showed a "lack of professionalism and impaired judgment" by picking the book and for that reason is fired.

Has anyone ever met a real "billionaire" who had to beg for donations to buy a plane? I've seen televangelists do it. If you're supporting this con artist I don't feel sorry for you at all.
