a trend im seeing is self proclaimed conservatives ragging on leftists and self proclaimed feminists and sjws for wanting censorship of ideas that go against theirs, for creating safe spaces and the like, while also saying stuff like
Insomniac games did the same thing. Companies should stay the forget out of politics tbh
I'm not supporting censorship in any way whatsoever, in fact i'm a rather large advocate against censorship in any realm of speech or media, but nobody seems to want to think about what they're saying. Icing on the cake is that these were individual google employees.
No one in their right mind, as a citizen of any state, should "stay out of politics", regardless of their status or background, or even if they're a company, because it's their lives/business being affected by the politics around them. This is traced back to even the ideas of the Enlightenment, with John Locke's idea of overthrowing a government that does not serve the people to its fullest power (which was the original intent of the second amendment, mind you). The silencing of anyone in a state does nothing but allow for a warped version of the majority's ideals to take over and do more than its original intent.
/rant, i generally like to stay out of these discussions but i felt like this was a point that hadn't been brought up before.
