Alleged Free Speech Champions Are Campaigning Against Speech They Don’t Like

The fact that the psalm of right -wing provocateurs Charlie Kirk is more than a small irony that spoils the right provocateur who spent days after death, working on the attack on people and even fired them for actual messiah media about the harmful and loud Kirk beliefs.

Hardly killed last Wednesday, allegedly a 22-year-old man Utah with a rifle and a dangerous immersion in the Internet culture “Meme”, the founder of Turning Point USA, was strewn with some liberals for committed to free speech and readiness to the wildly unequal conditions. However, his supporters, from the powerful Stephen Miller to the incomprehensible people who run the site called “Charlie”, want to silence not only a handful of random people who allegedly noted the death of Kirk (I did not literally see any such message in social media), but also those who described it, his rac. Anti-hitrin, which are biistic, to accurately, racist, homophobic, sexual, anti-Semitic, anti-language and antimigraged. Everyone who will listen.

The highest in Washington Post OBLIGER Karen ATIAnnounced on Monday morning that she had been fired today by a series of reports of social media that output the culture of weapons and “inaction” of “white America” ​​to do something with the epidemic of violence. She has it. She wrote that this Pillar They said her reports on social media were “unacceptable”, “gross violation of the rules” and were dangerously “physical security of colleagues”. In any of her reports, she did not applaud Kirk’s murder. On the day when Kirk died, MSNBC participant Matthew Daud lost his job, saying on the air: “I always come back, hated thoughts lead to hated words that then lead to hateful actions.”

Unfortunately, politically motivated firing come with the territory when you are the main commentator of the media – often crying, but not uncommon. The dozens were much more unusual when not hundreds of shooting people whose work has nothing to do with politics. Carolina Panthers dismissed the coordinator of the communications World Health Organization published: “Why are you sad? Your man said it is worth …”, reference to Public statement by Kirk This “I think it is worth having costs, unfortunately, some weapons death every year so we can have a second amendment to protect our other rights to God.”

Teachers and administrators in Greenville, South Carolina; Forest Grove, Oregon; School of Miami Day, and at least a dozen other areas have lost their jobs or faced the suspension for “inappropriate” social media reports, the school districts confirmed. . The Internal Security Department employee was stopped to place on X: “If you mourn this guy, remove me. He expressed hatred and racism on his show.” The X account collected the “trophy business” of these and other shooters.

Delta, United and American Airlines They announced that they had been suspended by pilots and other staff before the investigation, because Kirk Posts said one CEO said “went far beyond healthy, respectful discussions.”

On the Charlie website, it states that he has collected more than 30,000 materials of people who are said to note the death of Kirk and call for violence. I couldn’t access the site on Monday, but other media reports that they see a little if any calls for violence.

Canadian journalist Rachel Gilmore said she had received a “tsunami” threats after the site shared the Internet lead Gilmor, criticizing Kirk, but saying he hoped he had survived the shooting before his death was announced.

“It is absolutely right to call it a coordinated pursuit company,” said CNN Laura Edelson, associate professor at the northeast university and the director of the Democracy Cybersecurity project. “This is absolutely why it exists to coordinate and focus on the persecution of the selected persons.”

My mention of X has been sewer since I wrote “Let’s not forget who actually Charlie Kirk“Thursday, with a partial list of his offensive statements over the years. Insults are all familiar, a lot of words C, word B, a lot of comments about my age and ugliness (hand in hand). The best critic called me” Grandma-Sacrament. ” Nation.

We should not be surprised that the right, who seek to prefer freedom of speech, want only freedom for our own views. Their purpose is not freedom, but power. They are going to use this tragedy to capture more strength and damage more dissenters as the days go away. They do not note the murder of the pick – many undoubtedly took care of it, but they certainly use it as much as possible. I wouldn’t go anywhere near his funeral at the Cardinals Stadium in Arizona 60,000 places near Phoenix next Sunday, and I dared to all kinds of Trump’s terrible events for many years. But I think this crusade is just starting to work, and Miller and Trump threaten the persecution of the people who perceive, how they contribute to the atmosphere, which led to the murder of Kirk. Of course, there is no American more responsible for the modern climate, hostility and violence in the country than Donald Trump. Just don’t expect it to look into the mirror.
