this is such a dumbass take. Isn't people choosing to shame and shun someone for being a piece of shit their freedom of speech? There's no freedom or right from being judged, sorry.

Huh. I am thinking back to being an atheist bisexual with socialist tendencies in high school in the 90s, and when the fuck exactly did we have that right?

It's really funny how far these weirdos have moved away from any actual principles of freedom of speech, which usually include like social opprobrium and a right of response/critique, etc. The Enlightenemnt was full of people loudly denouncing each other in pamphlets and broadsheets.

I don't know who you are, but someone I do follow quoted this comment. I think the NY Times editorial board should first realize that "we the people" have *never* had this much ability to reach out and scream at people who we know nothing about just to promote our viewpoints.

The right to have your own opinion does not include the right to have your opinion respected or legitimized. Op-Eds are a major part of the problem. Iโ€™m all for exploring another take to spur discussion but the discussion - and criticism - needs to happen. Thats how we advance as a society.

Funny too how this only ever seems to get defended in one direction. Shouldnโ€™t the people they disagree with also have the right to not be criticized ever?

Tragically, thanks to wokeness, we have lost many rights we took for granted as children. You used to be able to shit directly into your pants and a giant, five times your size, would pick you up and put you in clean pants. Not anymore! Thanks, elite moralist snowflakes!

At no point in the history of ANY society has there never been any social repercussions for voicing an unpopular opinion. A "free", "liberal" society is one where the repercussions are ONLY social, not prison or execution. All that's changed, all that EVER changes, is what behavior is condemned.

Anybody else feel like these people should be fired? They have been in bluesky discourse constantly in the past few weeks because of their opinions. Clearly those opinions have spoiled and they need some time off to grow new ones.
