  I’m not the person you asked, but it’s hard to say, because I didn’t get past the first sentence before inhit my limit for bigoted bullshit tolerance.

    Why? Honestly I am curious about that.

    It looks super hypocritical and relevant that in the midst of the Gaza genocide the Republicans want to suddenly oppose free speech.

      Because bigots don’t have valid arguments.

        Well, that is objectively false - we are talking about poisoning the well here.

        I will not ask you to not call a bigot a bigot… But if a bigot is right about something, we have to deal with that… We don’t have to come to the same conclusions, but we have to recognize the truth of the situation.

        I also want to push people away from the precipice of conflict and encourage everyone in the fediverse to become more “post-right, post-left.” So these interactions between us are good, IMO, and like… IDK, you can call him or anyone a bigot if you want…

        But let’s try to just move past some of the obstacles we have before our dialog and not jump to conclusions.
