It is the inevitable consequence of letting current humans have 100% free speech.
We need to stop tolerating the intolerant. The intolerant have just as much right to their message as the tolerant, which when you think about it is disgusting. As long as they don’t literally call for a specific person or group of people’s death they are totally within their rights to spread their bullshit. And it’s not a situation where it becomes a “marketplace of ideas” and the most popular idea wins out. The intolerant will slowly bend government to their will to destroy the free speech they rode in on and put the tolerant against the wall as soon as politically possible.
In function they certainly do when they are spreading their message to gain the power to tear it down. It’s not about supporting it. It’s about using liberals’ own tool against them to take power from them and then never let them have any back.
Edit: holy frick you’re wintermute I thought you were gone from the Fediverse for good…dangit!

I’d explain it by saying they support free speech as a tactic but not as a principle.
