For all the tolerance and enlightenment that modern society claims, Americans are losing hold of a fundamental right as citizens of a free country: the right to speak their minds and voice their opinions in public without fear of being shamed or shunned.This social silencing, this depluralizing of America, has been evident for years, but dealing with it stirs yet more fear. It feels like a third rail, dangerous. For a strong nation and open society, that is dangerous.
Of course they meant the right of important people - and people they agree with - to say what they want without fear, while the rest of us should be stomped on, often by the newspaper itself!
That Charlie Kirk was a free speech advocate despite, for example, making lists of professors to terrorize, makes perfect sense to all of these people! He was terrorizing the right professors! You know the ones!
