@Asgard2208 I'M conflating? You conflate the NAZIS with "socialists" based on branding, which is as flimsy as it gets. I'm not surprised that people who are unfamiliar with 20th century history might do that, or who have been fed talking points by Fox News, but to see you do it was frankly a surprise.
As for Jimmy's point, Nadine Strossen's recent book on hate speech makes essentially the same point: these speech codes, which on their face come across as feel-good nicey nicey progressive, end up being used by the right to silence the left, in the modern developed democracies. She is about as extreme a First Amendment absolutist as I have ever seen, and I do not agree with her completely, but I respect her the most. Anyone who wants to propose the smallest restrictions on freedom of speech really must read her book and meet her arguments first. Also, after reading her, I can better pinpoint where I would argue for stronger protections: that would be in workplace, the hostile environment standard. (Not in the free press, that is for sure!)
