This. "When one adopts the robes of orthodoxy, of course, every other tenet of philosophy, knowledge, belief, law, science, or ethics will seem a contrathetic parasite to one’s authority or ability to fleece the herd for their money, allegiance, and abuse. Gnostics don’t form churches, cults, or seek money—and that, dear reader, is indeed a sin to those who do crave such trappings."

Wonderfully communicated.

Or, in my admittedly coarse parlance, the assholes always claim that anyone who is not as interested in control as are they is an asshole. Classic bait and switch. Unfortunately, it works.

Just this morning, I heard a (typically) liberal Hollywood mouthpiece whine loudly about how SCOTUS had become the haven of "right wing extremists" and set to push America into open authoritarianism. Of course, she was not talking about the ruling you mention---which, as you accurately note, makes censorship legal, if you do it properly! Somehow, she missed it. #SameCrapDifferentDay
