The Political Right: The Home of Free Speech
Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

It has been a long strange shift since the days of the Berkeley Free Speech movement.
I'm always still in trouble again
"You're by far the worst poster on TWeb" and "TWeb's biggest liar" --starlight (the guy who says Stalin was a right-winger)
"Overall I would rate the withdrawal from Afghanistan as by far the best thing Biden's done" --Starlight
"Of course, human life begins at fertilization that’s not the argument." --Tassman

I have mixed feelings about how Christians should feel about free speech as in principle, I am open to bans on pornography and the like. But I can see how supporting it is now a good pragmatic bet as Christianity becomes more and more hated."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
Than a fool in the eyes of God

As far as the actual premise of this post, it's undoubtedly true. It's most telling that Elon Musk was pilloried as a conservative for his stance on freedom of speech alone. But we can see that he's truly no conservative as Tesla is one of the companies that is promising to pay workers to travel for abortions."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion.

That's true; a lot of what we see now would have been unthinkable then. Though I would argue that the government was in fact being inconsistent by allowing prosecutions of publishes for obscene material in the 18th and 19th century; the Constitution simply doesn't have an exception written in for that.

It would be nice if the right did embrace some free speech for a change and stopped with all the "CRT" book bans and the don't-say-gay laws. I don't hold out much hope though... fascists gonna be fascists."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
"Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism" - George Orwell
"[Capitalism] as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evils. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy" - Albert Einstein
