Except he's not right on that particular issue. He's describing something that leftists have been doing for centuries, that he himself has done to others, and bemoaning the concept of it righteously blowing back on him.
It's hypocritical as hell and has all the intellectual weight of "no u."

...that would mean that he's right. If this is how rulers limit debate (and I think it is one of the ways), then it wouldn't matter if "leftists" have done it in the past or indeed if he himself has done it.

So of course you loved it.

No, it means he's afraid of being beaten with his own stick.
Being right would look like basically the opposite of his whole life.
If it's "his own stick", that still means that this is the way that the rulers control discourse.
Which completely irrelevant to his hypocrisy and complicity in doing it.
