Listen, I support free speech as much as the next guy, I’m really one of the biggest supporters of free speech you will ever meet.

But one shouldn’t be allowed to criticize the government by drawing historical comparisons between their actions and patterns that have repeated themselves in human history. It’s dangerous and might upset people.

You have to drawn a line. You can’t scream “fire” in a burning theater.

What exactly did you say? Are you blaming it on me because I support single payer healthcare? Are you blaming it on my neighbor who supports the EPA? Are you blaming it on my mailman who supports same sex marriage?

Are you blaming it on Liz Cheney for calling out autocratic behavior?

So is calling Hitler behavior Hitler behavior.

You can’t say “the other side is an existential threat causing mayhem and murder” and then get upset at them for saying mean things about your side

Do I need to Bert and Ernie this for everybody?

It’s really weird and bizarre the persecution complex. Dude went on bluesky and found some anon with 8k followers yapping and concluded that everybody “on the left” wants kids to grow up without fathers.

Trust nostr to have even less self-awareness than BlueSky nostr:note1kc2yatqswjy2kv24m0w703mjj3h7kja4f85xxceaxmvu5x0ad3vq6zj0gy

Bluesky is too busy screaming at centrists like Nate Silver and Gavin Newsom to be doing anything the folks on X are accusing them of. nostr:note14w53hs3j909yknmrt8d2rysla79k09wpzju6cjpyfcvwaqajtyrsmv2t8j

Worse in what way? I took a peak on X today and all I saw was calls for civil war and blood and retribution by the right.

Good listen.

One thing I have to rant about: Folks need to stop dismissing concerns using the term “moral panic”. It’s bad faith and ineffective. This is about as effective as “Trump Derangement Syndrome” / “you said the same things about George W Bush” like no, I literally didn’t. It’s like dismissing climate concerns because people 100 years said streets would fill with horse manure.

People sounding the alarm have been correct about many things, like smoking causes cancer and lead poisoning is bad.
