The day just isn't complete without a tiresome retread of freeze peach rhetorical tropes. Oh, it's "important to engage with and understand" white supremacy. That's why we need to boost the voices of white supremacists! And give them money!

I'm not sure when deplatforming became a dirty word in the first place. Freedom of speech doesn't entitle anyone to a platform. It's not a crime to express whatever views you have, but you may need to bring your own soapbox.

Or maybe deplatforming is bad and an affront to freedom of expression. If that is the case, I will let you know on the next episode of Joe Rogan. If I'm not invited, consider me silenced by the cancel culture mob.
