If the left could embrace its universal mission and break from the progressive wing of capital and its intentional divide and conquer strategy these alt-right trolls would have nothing.

What is Owen trying to say here? That he's still opposed to Free Speech and wants State censorship? Why is he insisting that fighting for free speech is still a right-wing thing even now? Yeah, the republicans were never serious about it? Can the left be serious about it now?

As protesters against the mass murder of Gaza are brutally arrested en masse: Where are all the "free speech" warriors now? Where's all the talk about "cancel culture"? About "no right to be not offended"? What a bunch of raging shameless hypocrites!

Make no mistake, this is slightly veiled misanthropy. Capitalism is a form of freedom, it's how mankind lifted itself out of slave economies and feudalism and created abstract freedom, freedom based on the freedom of labor. To hate capitalism in this fashion is to hate freedom.

If you try to post Seymour Hersh's Nordstream Pipeline article on Facebook you will get a warning that the article is disinformation. This is happening at the request of the US State.

Defiant Zuckerberg Says Facebook Won’t Police Political Speech (Published 2019)

In an address at Georgetown University, the Facebook chief executive called for more free speech — not less — as his company has been assailed for allowing lies and falsehoods to appear.

Again and again and again our confirmation bias leads us to mistake momentary adventures for social transformation.

I think that within a year, maybe two, Sam and Emma will be pretending that they were always skeptical of gender affirming care. There will be a great number of positions that they will quietly reverse and perhaps even convince themselves that they always held.

It's super weird how merely by being a person of average intelligence who takes this issue seriously, rather than treating it as a political football, I was able to render the same verdict a well-resourced team of experts would seven months later. It's amazing what a *tiny* bit

Some of the Marxist left is rejecting the Frankfurt School today not because of what they got wrong, but because of what they got right.

@reproutopia No. I meant YOU aren't a socialist. Lasch was "anti-statist" in some ways. Being pro-work ethic is way more socialist than confusing the welfare state for communism and embracing the bureaucratization of life.
