On this basis it has to be admitted that the vast amount of organized religions or decentralized spirtualitirs fail to meet the criteria of institutions that facilitate pro social behavior

I think the anti atheism of the Russian and French revolutions was a mistake but there does need to be a new form of anti clericalism not based on the religious form of these institutions but the content of their behavior. I.e if they're glorified pyramid schemes for the pastors or community orgs.

Of course I'm sure someone will accuse me of an ism because "what about x type of trans people" to which my response is that I'm not talking about them right now. What they do is their business not mine.

The only real question is integrationism vs separatism and fundamentally trans/cia woman have more to gain from integrating our lives together in broader society than we do from staying in our tiny and receding zones of comfort

Anti assimilatiomism is stupid because it's basically limiting your politics to managing the social norms ghetto that transphobic society gives you and trying to occasionally expand it incrementally.

This unfortunately means that people who have Bad Speech would be protected as well.
Which is the result of having principles, I.E applying them consistently and not just on a case by case basis.
It also means that states and oligarchs would have less power to ruin the lives of queers like me

To the extent that there should be laws regarding speech, it should be absolute constitutional restrictions on states enacting laws on speech.
As well as there being legal protections preventing oligarchs using the bully pulpit to harass people out of their jobs or their universities

Turns out there are actually no such thing as good laws banning speech, because that implies that you can trust a state actor to wield them.
You can't, that's a utopian proposal. It's as foolish as legislating that the sky should be purple or the sun should rise in the west.

Any reasonable person who looks at the UK can see that over the past decade and a half it's degenerated into an openly fascist oligarchy and the machinery of state censorship built up by tories and neo-liberals will be captured by nigel farange who will likely turn it up to nightmare levels.

Like the UK is held up here as an example here as beacon of laws that ban 'hate speech'
The UK uses it's anti-free speech laws to imprison people who protest genocide, advocate for the abolition of the monarchy, expose the british elite for their pedophilia, and creating apartheid for trans people.

2) That we can allow states to adjudicate between 'good speech' (the type you like) and 'bad speech' the type you don't like.
Turns out that as we see from the trump admin, hate speech can be redefined on a dime and people can be fired for 'anti-racism' as well as 'racism.

The thing that this article gets categorically wrong is it assumes that:
1) Free speech is only curtailed when people go to jail, when getting doxed, fired or expelled from universities also stiffles speech and can be done by private institutions.

Well I'm sorry but these are things that the Palestine solidarity movement, trans people, and yes, for a period of time right-wingers have endured. I.E extra legal means of stiffling speech by destroying peoples lives without sending them to jail.

Also of course this ignores that states and large powerful institutions can use soft power to ruin peoples lives without going to jail.
Do you not like Trump bullying networks into firing colbert or jimmy kimmel? or instituions firing people in for anti-trump speech without legal cause?

and furthermore federal and state lawmakers on both sides have passed laws making pro-palestine speech grounds for expulsion and BDS grounds for professional reprocussions.
These things are bipartisan erosion of speech that have made the first amendment *alot* weaker.

yeah this explainer is wrong on several levels. First of all the first amendment has largely been gutted, SESTA-Fosta (passed almost unanimously) lead to a chilling affect on sexual expression online, the recent online child safety laws passed federally have had a chilling affect for queer speech

Ehh compared to europe and north America they actually seem to be able to handle the contradictions of capitalist governance much better. I don't know another current bourgeois that's successfully deflated a property bubble.
