Welcome to America’s Cultural Revolution

If this is really the problem conservatives claim it is, there's a simple solution: Get a backbone and delete your social media accounts. Most platforms (unlike HN) provide account deletion functions (though some keep them well-hidden).

Pretty sure that's what they were saying in the 60s as well

This is absurd. The New York Times opinion section is primarily for right-of-center opinions that support the ruling class. They let in center left and actually left ones from time to time to be able to claim it isn’t. They went a little too far right on this one for their readership.

Have you ever seen an op-ed in the Times with a communist perspective on current affairs?

To those who think I am being hyperbolic, here is an op-ed they published in 2018 to no backlash.

Why We Miss the WASPs: Their more meritocratic, diverse and secular successors rule us neither as wisely nor as well.

If you want to understand more, here is an article in which Bennet (now resigned editor of the op-ed section) describes his ideology explicitly: https://fair.org/home/top-nyt-editor-we-are-pro-capitalism-t...

This strikes me as awfully glib. My parents aren't racists and they empathize with the police reforms that BLM is advocating for (so do I).

But they were raised with the belief that racism was due to prejudice. To them, racism is judging someone by their skin color / background rather than the actions of that individual.

They don't buy into the idea of microaggressions and implicit bias. To many nowadays that makes them racist individuals. To me that begs the question, what behavior today might be seen as racist decades from now?

Anytime someone equates private control of a private platform with an abridging of “free speech” rights I automatically think they have suffered a head injury that has damaged their ability to think and makes them take nonsensical positions.

If I flood Hacker News with TIMECUBE truth and they delete my posts are they infringing on my free speech rights?

If you disagree with that TRUTH you are a COMMUNIST from COMMUNIST CHINA, you DIRTY COMMUNIST.
