What is the appropriate way to object? It seems like asking them to substantiate checks notes literally anything about what they claim is being pretty open, it certainly is different from making a conscious effort to just harass them off the platform.

But no matter what we did, it would be "a logical result of these beliefs" that in some way is incriminating and demonstrates how evil we are, any behavior except perhaps capitulating. Your psychoanalysis, like that of Freud, is an unfalsifiable, post-hoc myth-making that impedes rather than enables causal understanding of what is going on.

And all for these shitty little West Wing monologues about how the real authoritarianism is making a rude comment on a forum.
