When I hear this kinda response, it just makes me find the claims more believable.

Like whenever this admin comes out with this kind of rhetoric, it usually means the accusation is true.

I always skip over Cheung’s quotes and I advise you to do the same. He’s been performing his shtick for years and has never once added value to anything.

I sure hope the Democratic Party starts calling out Murc’s Law if they ever get any power back. The Republican Party can do this stuff all the time, but the Tone Police come out to start wagging their fingers at anyone to the left of Goebbels over breaking decorum or some “civility” norms. And while these Tone Police are quite often outright Republicans, the Democrats will go along with them, often joining in.

Sadly, it goes all the way down to the trenches, too. You’ll agree with some leftists on 98% of policy, and they’ll want to endlessly lecture if they found you used a word or phrase or argument that offends them. This happens mostly online in certain corners of the 'net, but it also happens IRL. I got lectured about having a focus on issues of class is not “intersectional” enough, and by implication, makes me a racist. This kind of thing is exactly how the elites want things to go, by the way. Pointing this out meant I have not done enough struggle sessions, excuse me, have not read enough queer/feminist/whatever lit and I need to “check my privilege”. None of this hairsplitting and maximalist identity politics is doing any good. It will never lead to the equivalent of an FDR making sweeping changes to help society overall.

I guess my point is I wish liberals would start embracing frank speech, at all levels, and stop worrying about offending people, most especially offending Republicans, “independents” and “centrists”.

But, for much of the source material behind his books, he has tapes. People say things and he quotes them. But those tapes are probably priceless and should be super-backed-up.
