    There’s a fun irony where when it comes to bigotry and racism it just “needs to be exposed to sunlight” and the “the free marketplace of ideas” but leftist ideas are brainwashing that need censoring.

    Huh, I wonder why those double standards exist lea-think

      If you say “I want to suppress the lives, including the freedom of speech of, black people”, people say “oh you just need to be debated in the marketplace of ideas”. If you say “I think people who want to suppress black people should be suppressed”, people say “that’s dangerous, that’ll become authoritarianism”.
