    Jeremy Waldron, The Harm in Hate Speech, Harvard University Press, 2012, 292 pp. First-Amendment guarantees of free speech are a cherished part of the American tradition and set us apart from virtually every other country. They are not without critics, however, and the free speech guarantees under sharpest attack are those that protect so-called “hate […]

  • The Return of Twitter’s Exiled Extremists Is a New Headache for Republicans

    American Renaissance - Nov 30th 2022 6:25pm EST

    Jared Taylor would like to get back on Twitter. “I would be happy,” he told Semafor, “to get back the 40,000 followers I lost on December 18, 2017.” On that day, Twitter announced new rules to “reduce hateful conflict and abusive behavior,” which meant a crackdown on people like Taylor. He’d founded the white nationalist magazine […]

  • Twitter Update: Never Trust Social Media

    Amerika.org - Nov 29th 2022 10:31am EST

    At least we know what the censorious little widgets banned me for. In the long term view, social media means your stuff stored on someone else’s computer, which means that whatever $8/hour equivalent losers they hire to police the feed will get on a power trip just like inbred Appalachian cops or Russian mercenaries and […]

  • If Democracy Is “Freedom,” Why Are We Still Banning Books?

    Amerika.org - Nov 29th 2022 7:32am EST

    Civilization changed once it got prosperous and lost direction because it was more focused on maintaining wealth by not screwing up its methods than it was on creating order by pointing in the right direction. The method became the goal, and the goal was lost, mainly since the old goal of survival had become obsolete. […]

  • Why You Should Never Give an Online Service Your Phone Number

    Amerika.org - Nov 22nd 2022 10:33am EST

    We knew it would happen: Twitter has re-banned me. Their new clever form of banning is to lock you out until you provide a phone number. Like Truth Social, Twitter has built its system on the presumption that forcing people to be public about their identity prevents abuse. In reality, just as with drugs and […]

  • Elon Musk Cleans Up Hate Speech On Twitter

    Occidental Dissent - Nov 10th 2022 11:50am EST

    I regret buying into the hype. I’m not sure though which was more misleading: Elon Musk’s false advertising about restoring free speech on Twitter or the midterm polling. Even if he does change his mind, I am not going back there. What’s the point of being on a platform that systematically censors you before a […]
