Adam Serwer: “The reason so many of yesterday’s free-speech champions transitioned so easily into today’s pro-Trump censors is that their definition of free speech never included the right of others to talk back.”

1. Doesn't this apply to some from the other camp also? Free speech for me, but not for thee.

[SouthBayDem]

10. We live in such a selfish society with zero sum thinking,

a widespread belief "your gain is my loss".

[NotHardly]

2. True that.

[Cirsium]

3. Worse

Their concept of free speech forbids others from disagreeing with them (which might cause them shame, guilt, confusion or embarrassment.)

[LiberalArkie]

5. cause them shame, guilt, confusion or embarrassment

Cause them to "lose face"

[Cirsium]

8. We embarrass them

So they kill us.

[ShazamIam]

4. That is why conservatives own all the radio stations and the control of all television company boards of directors. Only

the pro=fascists message can be allowed.

[Wounded Bear]

6. The hardest part of freedom is not denying it to others...nt

[RetiredParatrooper]

7. Indeed

Tue Quoque to the max.

9. Yes, makes perfect sense in MAGISTAN....

In an authoritarian governmental arrangement:
1) They are the authority
2) We are the submissives (no talking back allow children).

Only 1 problem, as is always the case. We are in America, not some delusional, dystopian Magistan.

As such, every citizen in America is protected by the U.S. Constitution, which states the govt cannot suppress any citizen's right to speech.

Suck on it hard MAGA!
