999 times out of a thousand I hate when someone seems to agree with me. You might be the other 1 out of this year's 1K.
I, on the other hand, want to make it hard for you all: I'm not on the other side. I'm on no side. I’m antiside (which seems like it might yet be a side, but I think that's just an unavoidable artifact of language).
If you think I'm on your side, you're probably wrong. If you think I'm on the other side, you’re probably wrong.
The problem with free speech is that most people really don't have much to say that is worthwhile. But the problem with censorship - which is a far, far more dire problem - is that when you stop people from expressing themselves freely, you are not stopping them from thinking and feeling what they think and feel.
You are just making sure that whatever they think and feel that you don't want them to express will come out sideways and with far more negative force than if you just let everyone express themselves freely in a natural discourse.
I don't know how this is not perfectly obvious to the anti-liberal, faux-left of today.
