Free speech warriors often conceal their hate within their ideology of being able to say what they want by stating that the "woke left" has made everything taboo. Look at the cesspool that is X as proof that allowing Neo Nazis to say what they like does not make for a better platform. Musk, who grew up in a white supremacist culture, wonders why advertisers run away in droves.
I was thinking about this as I watched progressive pundit David Pakman appear on the Triggernometry podcast which hails itself as a free speech zone until one peruses the caustic and angry commenting of its fan base. For them free speech is something I do not recognize.
The hosts took David to task for calling their program right wing except their talking points appeal to the same people that would be happy watching FOX News. David wasn't wrong and he defended himself admirably with his command of the issues and his patience. Some in the comments called him elitist which is code for knowing what you are talking about.
Nuff said.
