“The answer,” the article said, “is no.”

The NYT specializes in propaganda. I only have to read a couple of parargraphs in to recognize the BS they are trying to spread as truth. Every other piece is what-about-ism. Pure sensationalism while burying the facts to a blurb of truth in the middle. They are a major reason journalism gets a bad rap

the full court anti free speech press is disturbing.

It's all about "I have a the right to free speech but if I don't like what you're saying, I'll sue for infringing on my rights". Completely legit. Right? 🤔

Nope, they completely reject the concept of free speech, they declare free speech is a weapon of conservatives and that free speech is racist, sexist, Islamophobic and anti gay, like everything and everyone else they tell their sheep to hate.

Frankly this is the most disturbing shit I have ever read in the NYT. 

“Legally, what was, toward the beginning of the 20th century, a shield for radicals, artists and activists, socialists and pacifists, the excluded and the dispossessed, has become a sword for authoritarians, racists and misogynists, Nazis and Klansmen, pornographers and corporations buying elections.”


I was under the impression they were always one in the same, yes it is disturbing this twist and labeling.  Along with Kegans last words that seem to imply that if a majority is in favor a minority should be forced to go along with it.  At least that's what I drew out of that statement.

They were very clear, you cannot believe in free speech and the first amendment and be a progressive. Progressive identity politics is an authoritarian movement, thus they oppose free speech and promote gun control. If they should gain power they would begin disarming and silencing people en masse. Like all other fucking commies and fascists do.

That's not fair, fascists hate free speech too.
