This is a brilliant exchange by @NancyMace yesterday in Congress. There is a tiny group of hateful left-liberal fanatics whom have been arbitrarily dubbed "Online Safety Experts" and constantly warn hateful rhetoric incites violence. Yet they're the most hateful people around.

Somehow, one of the most relentlessly hateful and dishonest people on this site -- @Esqueer_ -- has become a cited expert because she became Twitter friends with @oneunderscore__ & @TaylorLorenz. She and Lorenz lie about her credentials (calling her a "Harvard Law Professor: 🤣).
All freedoms have costs. Barring the police from searching homes without warrants makes it harder to catch violent criminals, etc.
Yes, free speech can radicalize and incite hatred. But as @RepNancyMace shows, it's so often the left-liberal censors who most use hateful rhetoric.

We'll have @RepNancyMace on our @SystemUpdate_ program tomorrow night to discuss this and issues related to Big Tech and censorship.
But note: The Supreme Ct has long warned how dangerous it is to try to ban speech on the ground that it *can* incite violence. All speech can:

Seems weird to hold yourself out as some sort of expert on political discourse online, then not only block anyone who utters a peep of criticism, but also block a member of Congress who is unfailingly civil and substantive because she criticized you.

But this is the problem. These coddle left-liberal journalists never face any persecution. Why would they? They're harmless servants to power. Their schools protected them their whole lives from hearing criticisms. So now they interpret adult critiques as violence and truama.
But honestly, what I don't understand is the utter lack of self-awareness of these people.
Journalists are expected to go to war zones, risk prison from governments, be targeted by corporate power.
These people can't handle mean tweets and want the world changed to stop it.

But if you're going to insist hateful rhetoric and unified online attacks endangers people - and it's thus immoral even when done to powerful political and corporate actors - how can they watch themselves spew hatred at their enemies every day and not realize they do this most???
