I think you can learn a lot about a person’s politics by which speech they choose to defend, and which speech they choose to shut down.
When I see people acting like the Declaration of Human Rights has gone up in flames because of campus or workplace hate speech prohibitions
but saying absolutely nothing at all about the way hate speech itself is silencing
I don’t see neutral defenders of free speech.
I see people who have taken a side.
It’s not the right side.
