The New Yorker’s Kalefa Sanneh anticipated the rising ambivalence toward the existing First Amendment regime when he likened “speech nuts” to “gun nuts” in a 2015 essay.
Today, support for the mainstream American free speech norms of earlier, less-Trump-addled times is increasingly cast as a kind of sinister eccentricity, as when Slate declared in the days after the Capitol assault that “We have come to a moment in which one half of the country is fighting to be free of crippling, life-ending acts of stochastic terror, while another half of the same country is chillingly preoccupied with their right to just talk shit.”
What the hell is "stochastic terror"? Dogwhistles but also terrorism?

Isn't that anti-semitic or some such? Or is it good because Shapiro is a centrist shill as opposed to a foaming at the mouth commie? It gets very tiring trying to decipher their games.
Also, the Newseum, mentioned in the article, used to have some very interesting artifacts. For instance, you know the "disappearing antenna" from 9/11? It was in the Newseum. Also they had a slip of paper with a radio frequency on it labeled "For Kenneth", recovered from Dan Rather's office after he left CBS. No doubt if they'd survived, they'd have had the rope Epstein didn't use to kill himself.
Anyone else keeping a list of names for...future reference?

A buzzword. Hate-speech starts loosing it's teeth. Same reason why calling Trump-Supporters Nazis isn't good enough anymore.
