It's been a long time since I've made one of these threads. This was such a fascinating conversation to listen to I just had to share it. I love this guest, who I've never heard of until today. I don't normally listen to JRE so I'm lucky to have come across it. A gaming journalist who is also a libertarian got in trouble for a tweet.

Is there really a war against free speech though?

Who is incarcerated for statements?

Or have people just been fired?

So we should come up with a list of terms that us SWJs shouldn't be allowed to discuss?

How do we go about censoring us?

Lists of terms people can't discuss publicly without being tarred and feathered -> lists of terms people can't discuss without being imprisoned -> lists of terms people fight and die for

You're busy enough censoring yourselves along with everyone else.

Apparently we can't even say that women who are drunk in clubs are asking for it anymore.

Aren't you a libertarian? How is social pressure and economic sanctions by free-acting individuals not right up your ally as a solution to something you don't like that is happening?
