|content=I don't know that I am. But it seems weird to me that I haven't heard it from anyone else given the amount of attention to "hate speech" and "speech as violence". If I have this wrong, point me to others discussing this in the context of free speech/hate speech.
Thx!

|content=How is it that from a vast number of public speakers in the extended @SamHarrisOrg family you @EricRWeinstein seem to be the the first one to bring up the marvelous Marshall Rosenberg and #nonviolentcommunication #nvc ???

But we do have some lovely parting gifts for our contestant Jeffrey here on “Let’s-Build-a-Strawman!”

|content=2/2 While I understand and can make *both* cases, I'm solidly in with the latter. It's now so easy to be attacked by a vengeful mob by simply saying true, reasonable things, that I can't find any advantage in confusing the story with being mean or teasing the weak & vulnerable.

|content=1/2 The free speech community is itself divided as to whether the case for free speech is better made focusing on speech specifically intended to offend, or necessary speech deemed outrageous & attacked by authoritarians wishing to control & stigmatize reasonable civil discourse.

|content=Oh this is good: "Free Speech Grifters"! Let me save you time Mari. Everyone needs to be very very afraid of:
@BretWeinstein, @clairlemon , @DouglasKMurray, @CHSommers, @jordanbpeterson, @RubinReport, @joerogan, @SamHarrisOrg, @benshapiro, me etc.. 

Why? We're not MSM compliant. https://x.com/mariuyehara/status/975754244904161281

|content=There is not one single word or phrase in any language ever spoken that is without potential wholesome legitimate use by anyone living anywhere.

No language-level bans can withstand scrutiny. Not one.

And, for the record, I‘m not even a free speech absolutist...

|content=And note: this isn’t about Tucker. It’s about general ambient pressure that seems more about sanctimony than ethics.

|content=Advertisers vs [[Riskvertise|Riskvertisers]]:

An advertiser is a company commandeering attention to promote a product. A [[Riskvertise|riskvertiser]], by contrast, would be a courageous firm that underwrites important speech others wish to ban, and asks the public to consider its product in return for courage.

|content=We the public and the creators need to stop supporting advertisers who buckle to sanctimonious mobs out of cowardice when the charges are frivolous. 

More importantly, WE need to lead and build the [[Riskvertise|Riskvertising]] industry. Let’s reward those companies that treat us as adults.

|content=The following is an (unauthorized) [[Riskvertise|RISKVERTISMENT]] for @DrBronner. 

I love DR BRONNER soap! Their luxurious Castille soaps are no less amazing than their corporate bravery in support of Psychedelic Research on substances which are currently illegal!

If you know of other firms that don’t buckle under pressure and who are interested in underwriting free speech, psychedelic research, and other unpopular worthy causes, please let me know! Let’s experiment with paying it forward until we find underwriters who don’t cut &run.

|content=7/ I hope this is wrong. But if it‘s correct, “improper” bitcoin transactions will start to carry serious criminal penalties. Further @jordanbpeterson will not deliver a technological fix as indicated.

Watch @datasociety, @nytimes coverage & payment channels.

Happy Holidays.

|content=1/ The Christmas Thread.

First off, Merry Xmas to all.

I’m asking for your help. I want to know whether any of you know about any quiet working groups or meetings involving but not limited to Visa/MC/PayPal/etc working on the issues of “populism”/“radicalization” as euphemisms.

|content=2/ This would be organized by by some group like CFR, NAS or some other blue chip institution. It would be looking to figure out how to handle the “problems” of popular nullification of institutional objectives. In short it would view Brexit, Trump and restrictionism as “hate”.

|content=3/ This quiet meeting would bring together the major “stakeholders”(?) which would not include the public. The twin problems the meeting would actually be trying to solve are “free speech” and “democratic choice” which the public generally doesn’t want solved at all.

|content=4/ The meeting would explore the question of how to use the existing anti-terror programs & platform level controls to handle garden variety dissent contributing to popular nullification as if it were “hate speech”, which it would claim was akin to, or a gateway for, terror.

|content=5/ I’m not asking b/c I have any information that such a meeting occurred. I, in fact, have NO such information. However, I am well aware of how coordinated action has been made to look more “emergent”, in the past & I now think we’re at a very dangerous juncture between 2018-20.

|content=6/ This all now looks way off to me. Patreon is just the window through which we are glimpsing it. Why? Because they‘re clumsy. I fear we‘re seeing some plan to reestablish the former power of the Gated Institutional Narrative well above Patreon’s paygrade using payment networks.

|content=Free speech isn’t a fascinating topic.

At least to me, it’s more like “air hunger”: when you‘re being choked, it’s always super important to you above everything else, even if simple breathing isn’t really something upon which you ever expected to focus your intellectual energy.
