Retribution for Political Speech
Florida has taken control of the Reedy Creek district, a special carve out that was managed by Disney World. This was done as retribution for Disney speaking out against the Florida “Don’t Say Gay” law.
Government retribution against free speech.
So much for freedom.
Free speech, but who’s watching?
Elon Musk often says how much he supports free speech on Twitter. But it’s going to be tough to keep allowing that with some of the folks looking over his shoulder - including the Saudis who are the second largest investor in Twitter, and the Chinese who control access to China as a major financial market for Tesla.
Both countries have proven rather oppressive to free speech, with the Saudis recently sentencing an American citizen to 16 years in prison for tweets critical of the Saudi regime.
Musk might soon have to choose between his grand standing and his wallet.
Free Speech
Most everyone is for Free Speech until they don’t like what you’re saying.
Tucker Doubles Down
After criticism for his repeated promotion of Replacement Theory - a root cause cited in the Buffalo shooter’s manifesto - Tucker Carlson unsurprisingly turned criticism into oppression and doubled down on his awfulness.
Cuz that’s his view of free speech: he can say whatever he wants, but any criticism is somehow oppressing his rights to free speech. Ignoring that it’s our free speech to say how destructive he is and that he has a moral liability from spreading his conspiracy theories and hate. He’s a mouthpiece for destruction.
