| Whenever an individual with far-right views is forcefully deplatformed from speaking, an incredible number of people speak out and side with the deplatformed person. Then, a second group of people voice their horror and disgust at the amount of people “defending Nazis.” Part of this group declares that anyone siding with a deplatformed Nazi must also be a Nazi, while others will suggest that if they’re not Nazis, they’re at the very least sympathetic to Nazism. Neither of these assessments are true.

A truly principled person will defend not just their political allies from unjust harm, but also their political adversaries. You're an intrinsicist, ugh. And no, we don't owe our political adversaries anything, including free speech. Fuck 'em. |
