Political Correctness

What a stupid tweet. Who williamson is is irrelevant. It's about the ability to express thought freely without these absurd overreaction from the sjw left. We about real moving towards thought police at this point and that is what lost you the election.

But he can express thought freely, at any number of outlets where he currently publishes. Just not, apparently, at TA.

Who he is, i.e. what he says, absolutely matters.

Who he is is absolutely irrelevant. We have to make a decision on what type of society we want to live in. Do we want freedom of expression or not.
 
" Leftists" can still buy the National Review where Williamson is also published.

When it suits your ("we" ) purposes business can and should make free market decisions.
When it doesn't it is a "leftist" plot.

Betting you have never read Williamson. But it is today's cause de celebre .
Have you ever quoted him? I dont care enough to scour the forum

How is freedom of expression compromised here?

When the ramifications are losing a means of livelihood then it's being compromised. And the only reason it's being done is activist sjw groups who look for reasons to be offended.

This is how it starts. There should not be anything that discourages free speech and this most certainly does.
 
you and the country already agree there are limits on free speech

i don't get why the hill you want to die on in the fake cry of "freedom" is speech for nazi's

but hey, have at it

He doesn't even realize he is making Shapiro point. Soon you won't be able to say anything in America without fear of being fired.

The next journalist who wants to write about something not SJW approved is likely to think twice.

If you think that's healthy, then we're likely to never agree

I don't think it's necessarily healthy that the people who often have the best shot at making a living writing fall in a fairly narrow slice in the middle of the ideological spectrum...from center-left to center-right.

You seem to be pussyfooting a little bit around what Williamson actually wrote and said.
 
Thought would pass this along:

Almost impressive how conservatives seamlessly transitioned

from attacking kids for having opinions about not wanting to be killed

at school

to defending an adult who called for the mass hanging of women.
