    It’s amazing how much of 21st-century politics consists of badly-disguised attempts to reconstitute fascism. Maybe that’s why people like Elon Musk are so quick to accuse everyone else of “communism” — they’re still living in the ideology of 1939 and so they naturally assume that everyone else must be doing the same.

    Free speech is when you

    • ban journalists criticizing you
    • ban a bot account for relaying publicly available information about your private jet
    • put algorithmic reach behind a paywall
    • comply with and support regimes oppressing activists
    • classify a medical term as a slur and censor it while allowing actual slurs

    Did I forget anything else on Musks freeze peach list?
