In any case my claim is that OSJers frequently make claims that are wrong and hold them to be evidence of winning an argument.
I have never seen anyone say they have an issue with this. Protest away.
Im talking about no platforming conservative speakers, banning certain expressions on campus and claiming they are hate speech and even deeming certain political views as hate speech. All examples of suppressing hate speech even if not done in a legal sense.
As another poster already mentioned that bill C16 in Canada is an example of how "liberals " are now trying to make some words that come out of your mouth illegal.
Or The Canadian professor who lost his job when he expressed his opposition to abortion in a law class
Even Angela Murkel granted permission to the Turkish dictator to legally prosecute a comedian for making a joke about him.
The examples really are endless you are deluded if you cant see the attack on free speech. Or maybe you are just ok with it because they are only suppressing views you dont agree with.
