    > I can stipulate that the Great Awokening has had a terribly regressive impact on the free exchange of ideas.

    The paragraph with the above sentence in it is notably lacking in examples relative to his other points, and seems to be contradicted by those other points.

    I don't know who the Hunter Ash person is but the author should consider that the people claiming to vote Trump to protect free speech, may well just be liars that want to suppress opposing speech. Like Elon and Twitter.

    edit: looked them up on Twitter. Several post about the genetic IQ deficiencies of other races and how this will soon lead to the end of Western Civilization and they'll side with armed bullies over violence-avoiding academics because the end justifies the means if you are saving civilization, then:

    > Freedom of speech absolutely must include the freedom to spread racial hatred. Otherwise, the state can define anything they want to censor as “spreading racial hatred”. If free speech is not absolute, it does not exist at all

    So, a real fun character.

      Suppressing information that hurts Democrats is basically all media:

      Biden's dementia, Hunter Biden's laptop, Biden's admission of quid pro quo: aka Ukraine aid only flows if investigators drop the case of Hunter's Burisma kickbacks, Kamala's alcoholism, Biden's weird behavior towards children, etcetera.

      I find your comment to be in outrageously bad faith.

    I find it impossible to take seriously anyone who uses terms like 'woke' and 'The Great Awokening' unironically.

    If you believe this, you hold no contrary opinions.
