“‘free speech’ in the 21st century means something very different than it did in the 18th, when the Founders enshrined it in the Constitution. The right to say what you want without being imprisoned is not the same as the right to broadcast disinformation to millions of people on a corporate platform. This nuance seems to be lost on some techno-wizards who see any restriction as the enemy of innovation.”Somebody's been behind the Ivy Wall a little too long...
I'm sure he didn't intend it to be, but that's an argument in favor of white supremacy.
What the Nazis did to the Jews, Democrats will do to us.
We should be on the cusp of a shooting civil war. The question is, will anyone actually defend the Constitution?
Alter denounces free speech as basically a white man’s “obsession.”

Free speech for them.
Against the law for those who disagree with their “ free “ speech
Ben Franklin never failed to chime in when he had something to say.
A snarky troll was he.
From Wikipedia:
________
As a young boy, Franklin worked as an apprentice in his older brother’s printing shop in Boston, where The New-England Courant was published and printed.
Franklin never got anything he wrote published, so, at age 16, he created the persona of a middle-aged widow named Silence Dogood.[1] Once every two weeks, he would leave a letter under the door of his brother’s printing shop. A total of 14 letters were sent. The first letter began:
Sir,
It may not be possible in the first Place to inform your Readers, that I intend once a Fortnight to present them, by the Help of this Paper, with a short Epistle, which I presume will add somewhat to their Entertainment.
And since it is observed, that the Generality of People, nowadays, are unwilling either to commend or dispraise what they read, until they are in some measure informed who or what the Author of it is, whether he be poor or rich, old or young, a Schollar or a Leather Apron Man, &c. and give their Opinion of the Performance, according to the Knowledge which they have of the Author’s Circumstances, it may not be amiss to begin with a short Account of my past Life and present Condition, that the Reader may not be at a Loss to judge whether or no my Lucubrations are worth his reading.[2]
The letters poked fun at various aspects of life in colonial America, such as this quote about hoop petticoats:
These monstrous topsy-turvy Mortar-Pieces, are neither fit for the Church, the Hall, or the Kitchen; and if a Number of them were well mounted on Noddles-Island, they would look more like Engines of War for bombarding the Town, than Ornaments of the Fair Sex. An honest Neighbour of mine, happening to be in Town some time since on a publick Day, inform’d me, that he saw four Gentlewomen with their Hoops half mounted in a Balcony, as they withdrew to the Wall, to the great Terror of the Militia, who (he thinks) might attribute their irregular Volleys to the formidable Appearance of the Ladies Petticoats.[1]
The letters were published in The New-England Courant fortnightly, and amused readers. Some men wrote in offering to marry Ms. Dogood, upon learning she was widowed.[1]
Eventually, James found out that all fourteen of the letters had been written by his younger brother, which angered him. Benjamin left his apprenticeship without permission and escaped to Philadelphia.
Week, to Leftists at least, Free Speech endangers the flow of Free Stuff - which is far more important to their constituents.
What guarantees ehr right to write and publish an article against free speech? Her right to free speech. Too complicated for simplistic “minds” like hers.
Just a rephrasing of the old communist claim that freedom of speech is a “bourgeois conceit.”
And if you told her to shut her mouth what do you think her reaction would be?
“Alter denounces free speech as basically a white man’s “obsession.”
“Obsession”... not nearly as much as with the 2nd Amendment, white woman.
Live with it.
