> Citizen support for the rights and liberties of even those political groups that they dislike

Is exactly zero now for most of politicized Twitter with their loud congratulations of deplatforming of their opponents.

(Who otherwise think they are an example of tolerant)

I wonder if the research highlights their low cognitive ability.



"Deplatforming" has nothing to do with "rights and liberties", and everything to do with the "rights and liberties" of those whose computers they formerly used space on.


I am astounded by the amount of both political tolerance and cognitive ability that my political opponents has shown by downvoting my comment and outright flagging the (completely valid) criticism of your response.

You officially win all internets.

Yeah, it's all tribal for them. Freedoms are to be defended if and only if it's good of the political tribe, over and against the rival political tribe. Adherence to the valued principles of yesteryear is all just for optics.

Nowadays, freedom of speech is a funny meme about how nobody should be able to hear you yell "fire" at a crowded gay bakery. Let it all burn down.
