Nobody sticks up for each other on principle.
And the conservatives don't do it.
They've got the free speech thing in their corner now much more than progressives do.
But it's like I don't hear them sticking up for progressives who are annoying.
You have to stick up for people you don't like and that you think are shit.
You're not a big free speech warrior if you only fucking raise a flag for people who agree with you.
And I find them falling into that trap.
And it's like, don't fall into that fucking trap.
Stick up for progressives who suck and who are saying stupid things.
Defend their right to say it without getting in trouble.
Don't look at them getting fired as, well, good case of your own medicine.
But then that's how they justify you getting fired.
So it drives me crazy that people don't defend other people's right to privacy or right to say what they want.
And everyone in the country thinks they're a free speech absolutist, but they're not.
