If you hate the cancel culture on the left, your mind is going to be blown when you find out what the right has been doing.


The right defending freedom of speech and the left pushing fascist ideals is pretty mind blowing.


Yes, it's been highly disorienting and depressing for me. I suppose I always imagined that the right would come around to some of the left's better ideas, but I never expected that the left would pick up some the right's worst ideas.


The right is calling the press “enemies of the people”, and threatening legal action against media companies for publishing poll results they don’t like, as well as physically attacking journalists doing their job. I don’t know how you read “defending freedom of speech” into any of that.
