Who hates freedom of speech more these days? Liberals or conservatives?
They both pretend to be for free speech until it's speech they don't like.
Both, but digital liberals hate it a tad more if we're being honest.
Conservatives forever pretty much. There really is no conservative foundation for it - it was literally always bullshit, and frequently over being shut out of things for advocating the reduction of rights for other people. The present day conservative position on this is now completely incoherent - on the one hand, a private business should be able to deny a service to certain people. On the other hand, certain businesses are now doing it to American conservatives for generally being obnoxious twats… so those businesses should stop.
The actual mainstream conservative ideology in America is perpetually authoritarian.
It's always been the conservatives.
I'm all for freedom of speech until it tells people to hate and fear me for existing.
On a perpetual basis, the right. At this moment? Rightists are willing to abuse free expression opportunistically and flip back to censorship as it suits them, but shitlibs have now arrived at a position of unconditionally opposing free expression itself as inherently evil under all circumstances.
Free expression doesn't tell people any one thing. Unless leftists are bullied out of engaging with and debunking the right with coherent reasoned argumentation, by the shrieking hysteria of "leftists", of course.
Then (you) create a dangerous vacuum between the flawed but unopposed arguments of the right, and the faith-based feelz>reelz fluff allowed to be spoken on the "left", which renders even the simplest truth impossible for leftists to defend and easy for rightists to undermine or twist.
Both because conservatives are liberals
Only correct answer in this thread. At least conservatives won't get you fired for wrongthink
At best, it's just because they're not smart enough to.
