My highschool had banned books. That's what got me into the free speech thing in the first place. But sure, make me republican in your mind because whatever.
It's attitudes like yours that discourage me from wanting to show up for the cause anymore.
You seem to be making a bunch of unwarranted assumptions about what's in my mind, and getting upset about that, but I can't even imagine what your assumptions are. Your only stated assumption, about me thinking you are "Republican," is false, and not at all contained in my comment.
If you are motivated towards free speech action because of banned books don't you think I would suppprt you in that?! That's the entire thrust of my comment, I think people fighting for free speech are great, and based on the information you provided you seem to be doing that!
Lefties regularly distance themselves from me when I accidentally let my anti-authoritarian positions code as libertarian to them.
Your parent post is a shallow dismissal of some free speech support as opportunistic with a weak-ass signal to identify the group. The same exact behavior I'm used to seeing from ostensibly likeminded individuals that ice me out for non-conformity. (I'll concede you don't name a political party, but in a two party system it's not a secret and I was just saying the implied part out loud.)
So no, I don't think the person who came into the comments to shadowbox people who aren't supporting the cause properly would support me.
