Episode 23. Free Speech For Me, You, & White Supremacists Too




SWOTI show

Summary: Free speech is for me, you, and Nazis too, and with good reason. In this week's episode, we tackle the liberal backlash against free speech in the wake of Charlottesville and James Damore (the Google Memo guy). We take down the NYT article suggesting that the ACLU needs to rethink its approach, and discuss how failing to protect the free speech rights for the worst among us establishes bad precedent for us all. We also ask how and whether we should modify race language to better communicate with those who aren't already on our side and achieve better results. We also chat about Brie's moderate new internet celebrity, her birthday festivities (#glowup) and do our best impersonations of the Jackson siblings. Joe, of course, did Janet.
