|content=1/ I’ve been noticing a ubiquitous technique recently upon which I have seen little commented. ā€œPunchable faceā€, #killallmen, ā€œOpen Bordersā€, ā€œTax is Theftā€, ā€œBelieve Womenā€, ā€œFree marketsā€, ā€œFree Speechā€ and uptalking are examples. I want to explain here what I see linking them.

|content=Riley Reid Really?
Ā 
Huh? She’s great as a human. Don’t know her work much. Why? Very generous with her time and insightful on free speech and business harassment involving web commerce.

|content=Assume I already get that some gender fluidity is highly conserved and that some of gender is socially constructed. Assume I got that a million years ago. What is the function of pretending that all gender and sex in a k-selected species is abiological and socially constructed? Where is any real payoff coming from taking social justice and making it bigoted, anti-science, anti-free Speech, radically relativistic, non constructive, blood thirsty, authoritarian, intolerant and utopian?
Where does the benefit of the ā€˜upgrade’ to cultlike behavior reside?

|content=When we ban people from spreading conspiracy theories we can no longer discuss conspiracies.
In 2017, I spread a conspiracy story.
Q: Should I be deplatformed for alleging that the US has a proven ability to destroy lawful US citizens by planting fake news in mainstream media? 1/ US Deep-State use of "Fake News" in Main Stream Media to Destroy Inconvenient US Citizens: A tweetstorm in honor of Black America & MLK. https://x.com/EricRWeinstein/status/27071821434064897… Think about this: the US has had a proven history of conspiring repeatedly against its own citizens and destroying lives. Our check against that tyranny is FREE SPEECH/PRESS including the freedom to discuss & test wild hypotheses that begin as...wait for it...conspiracy theories.

|content=To be clear: I'm not a free speech absolutist. Nor is the US absolutist. Companies are not the govt...etc..
Ā 
What I oppose here is *simple* statements from Tech Utopians about how they are against *all* Hate, Violence & Misinformation while *selectively* enforcing & profiteering. As Goldwater (should have) said: Extremism in defense of liberty is no friend of liberty. I know no other country where irresponsible speech is as protected as in the US. Grownups know that every freedom has limits. @michaelbd @BrianLehrer @JonahNRO @nytdavidbrooks @RubinReport

|content=So I’m not welcome in front of your audience on your upcoming dates to discuss this or show some solidarity and any coming together? Can you also direct me to your sources of fact? It doesn’t sound like you became familiar with my stance on free speech in the course of writing your book unfortunately. You are beginning by making incorrect assumptions and inferences it would seem.

|content=ā€œFreeā€ has multiple meanings. The strategy of using one’s own free speech for the simple pleasure of driving the costs of free speech of others (here by a claimed order of magnitude in security costs) is a very serious parasitizing of the simplistic free speech position.
Ā 
Damn. It appears that my event with @MaximeBernier on September 29th has been cancelled due to threats from Antifa and this insane piece in the local paper. The school is now demanding 10 times the original security costs and could demand more before showtime: https://thespec.com/opinion-story/9614811-mohawk-college-should-have-declined-to-rent-space-to-maxime-bernier/…

|content=Thereā€˜s a sizable number of white supremacists who latch onto legitimate free speech, meritocracy, islamofascism & immigration issues like free-riding remoras. If these are issues you discuss you *must* piss these folks off regularly as if rubbing against a reef to dislodge them.
