Critique against those opposing free speech
I never thought that they day would come when U.S. citizens would openly advocate for censorship. Despite what the polls may say, I think the vast majority of people today are appalled by the anti-free speech mentality coupled with the other stupid ideas like "microaggressions", "safe spaces", "white privilege", etc. I don't think this guy did either.

Quote:I'm a liberal Democrat. I support an expanded welfare state, stronger environmental regulation, and affirmative action in college admissions. I'm pro-choice, pro-Obamacare, and vehemently anti-Trump.

But I'm also an advocate for unbridled free speech, which makes me a "conservative" on many college campuses these days. Freedom of speech used to be a centerpiece of liberalism, while conservatives took up the banner for censorship. But in recent years, these roles have been reversed.
