Absolutely incredible to see how a guy who wrote "Free Speech and Why It Matters" is now supporting lawfare by a billionaire to silence Amnesty International after it criticized gender critical groups.

And presenting a model of trans that is not supported by the research evidence

It was never about free speech, it was about freedom from consequences

Remember when Sargon of Akkad (Carl Benjamin) tried to suspend "social justice" courses at colleges? It's all about curating an environment where they can say what they want, period. "Free speech" is just a blanket justification they pull out when it's convenient.

As they demonstrate daily in their oppression when in power, when they say "free speech" they mean trying to normalize the fascist speech they require which our society condemns. bsky.app/profile/esqu...

People like this always end up making it clear that money is more important than their moral beliefs

WaPo's tagline is still "Democracy Dies in Darkness" but it's notably failing to take a side on that particular issue

Every single one of these people have always been absolute liars. They used the motte and bailey to defend bigotry and the minute the side they supported started using lawfare to silence their critics, it's not just critics but full support and adulation.

it’s really cool and awesome that “news” outlets can just publish blatant lies and not immediately be stripped of all credibility.

So basically. They are 'pro free speech' becsuse the people they dont like (and that they actually hate and want eradicated) are under the guns of state sponsored violence and supporting those guns is protecting said people they hate ... what in the fucking double speak...

It’s never been about free speech.

yeah, when the british right said “free speech” it very obviously always meant “no living soul should be allowed to call me a bastard when i’m being a bastard.”

Doyle calls himself "left-wing" then pretty exclusively spits out far-right nationalist opinions. The man hates women, other Queer people, and pretty much anyone who isn't white and English.

Yet another reason to actively support Amnesty!

this is not what gender critical people think, that is what they SAY they think

They actually don't believe much of what the Constitution says, except for the people they approve of. They don't want rights, they want a privileged group.

Free speech for me and not for thee. Also, he straight up lies and says that other women’s refuges “admitted men who identify as female”, which is explicitly false disinformation. There is no such thing.

JKKK is clearly somehow even stupider than Trump. Trump won't sue anyone who calls him a pedophile because even HE knows the Discovery Period would absolutely ruin him in court. Apparently none of JKKK's Ter friends are warning her about Discovery. Because it WILL absolutely destroy her in court.

This is how fascists operate. The things they say are nothing more than pretexts in the service of making the "unworthy" suffer and die. I wrote the thread below a while ago to explain this:
