The left wants to censor speech. The right wants to censor speech. People on the right decried cancel culture and yet here they are cancelling away. You know who you are.

I have always voted conservative because I saw it as the best option to avoid authoritarianism. I dismissed people saying the right was authoritarian. But, after the last few days and Bondi's statement, I really don't know anymore. To hear a conservative AG spew **** about hate speech sent a chill up my spine. Sure I despise the left and what they say, but they have the right to say it.

I'm sure many will reply with "are you concerned?" and the standard braindead mocking replies. Others will engage in ad hominem attacks. People will say that private companies have the right to censor - sure they do…and I'd probably have bought that argument until I heard what Bondi said. I've been outspoken about the leftists, but if you support this stuff, **** YOU TOO.

If you support this, you are no better than the leftists that quelled free speech the last decade.

You lost me here. How exactly is the right trying to censor speech? If you are referring to Kimmel, I encourage you to study the facts in more detail.

No. Not all. The Attorney General of The United States didn't say anything about hate speech. Get out of here with your nonsense.

Equating the celebration of a political assassination with the firing of a University president due to over-zealous protection of DEI is a weak, feeble, and emotion driven argument with zero merit.

I award that argument no points, and may god have mercy on its soul.
It takes a special kind of brainwashed useful idiot to politically defend government fraud, waste, and abuse.

Exactly. And then understand Bondi is a damn idiot for what she said on the television.

As for AG, haven't seen the exact quote yet, just reaction to it -- but after the Espstein presser conference fiasco, maybe something foolish was said.

Show me where conservatives are advocating for anyone to be silenced? Kimmel was fired by a private company. His show was losing 40 mill a year in addition to him being an awful human being. Would you have hired him and ate 40 million a year? I'll wait to find out your answer.

And evidently you didn't see the people decry that statement and tell the admin that wouldn't fly. She stuck her foot in her mouth and the admin backed the people with that

The left is getting a little push back using their own tactics. They really don't like it. This is what a correction looks like.

The left supported government telling social media companies that they had to stop "misinformation".

The right supports the right of companies to protect their business and reputations from people celebrating and promoting violence.

We are not the same.
People of integrity expect to be believed, when they're not, they let time prove them right.

I was not at all a fan of Bondi's statements. Matt Walsh had a good segment on this on his show yesterday.

I see the Welsh/trans prof situation as entirely different. A&M is funded by govt dollars and should not be perpetuating this brain rot, especially in Children's lit.

Taking the high road and being concerned WILL NOT STOP THE LEFT from destroying you. Wake up, you are whining about how you want the world to be instead of dealing with how it actually is.

You either fight the left or you get lined up against a wall to be shot, but you do you.

Also, the right has not censored any speech.

Free speech /= speech without consequences.

People losing their jobs for saying men cannot be women /= people losing their job because they cheer for the death of half the country and their employer recognizes that's not good for business.

Wait, so you're saying people on the right are able to course correct themselves rather than acting like some kind monolithic yolo and careening off the moral hazard cliff with their foot on the gas?!

I agree with you on the terrible words from Bondi, but no one is being cancelled by the Right.



Being fired from your job because of something you say is not being "cancelled." People need to stop claiming it is. Its very ignorant and cheapens what Libs did to try to literally END people's professional lives and well being.

She stuck her foot in her mouth but clarified later that she was talking about speech that leads to violence.

I'm not a big fan of her, but there is a HUGE difference in what she said and what the left wants.

Tim Waltz wanted there to be laws against hate speech. Just speech, not actions.

That's what is happening in the UK right now.

This.

Bondi has since been corrected by others in the admin. I don't know of anyone on the right that agreed with what she said.

Pretty sure that Bondi doesn't speak for the entire right.

Is it OK to judge the entirety of the left's position on race based on things that Eric Holder said?
