I?m now trying to avoid discussion of politics on this forum to keep Brewster?s clean again (which is why I also hardly talk about it on my blog these days), but this article is worth sharing:

Condemning hate speech (which includes slurs, stereotypes, and offensive phrases) is the right thing to do. But criminalizing it, I wouldn?t support. Now condemning people who disagree with you, that?s too far. But what this article is telling me is that they will eventually progress to the next step, which is outlawing criticism towards a left-wing corporation or government (which is something you can?t do in North Korea or in fascist societies in World War II). That is an act of tyranny, which is very evil. Also, whether or not you?re in power, you?re only going to get criticism for doing something wrong, and if you can?t accept criticism, don?t bother getting involved at all.
