Who knew that Sweden and Poland would be leading the fight for free speech?

What caveat have I employed?

It makes sense and you know it. Are the “protected classes” continuing to grow? Of course they are.

Helen Keller could have seen that one coming.

Are private property rights continuing to disappear? Of course they are. Fundamental principle of liberalism by the way.

If eventually every “class” is protected by the government, where are we?

Of course it does.

This caveat.

Which public accommodation law did Twitter violate by banning Trump?

This is an argument that I am not making.

Public accommodation.

I know, I am. Your argument, from what I can tell, is that it’s ok for this but not for that.

Yes that’s the law.

What part of it was violated? Do you need me to post the contents of it?

Do we all agree that it is legitimate to be intolerant of discrimination in the private sector on some basis but not others?

It wasn’t a caveat. It is the truth.

The elimination of public accommodation laws will likely not affect me because of a myriad of reasons
 being a straight white dude is among them.

That isn’t a caveat
 it is just reality.

Still
 get rid of them
 it’s been enough time. Maybe people aren’t jerks like they used to be.

The two are not mutually exclusive.

You are making MY argument for ME.

Cool

Cool.

No, I’m really not. Did you not read my very clearly stated position above?

That, like not wanting to have public accommodation laws, has zero bearing on whether or not they should be forced to carry content that they do not want to.

They aren’t going anywhere. Apply them.

Uh
 yeah
 it is.

A recognition of a fact of the world is not a caveat.

It is the very reason for it. “Do not want to” is irrelevant.

We want to get rid of them
 not expand them
 right?

You don’t want either.

Neither do I.

It seems like we should be in agreement here.
