Kanye West is buying Parler
Musk and everyone else is right that we do need a platform with free speech. The only problem is that all those free speech advocates are actually NIMBY&#x27;s when it comes to free speech.<p>I have been following self proclaimed free speech absolutists(because I too, believe in free speech but don&#x27;t believe it exists) and they are totally not the kind of people that say &quot;I hate what you say but I will die defending your right to say it&quot;. In all places, these people are curating comments and posts to push agenda.<p>The only somewhat free place I&#x27;ve seen is 4Chan but it contains so much toxicity, that&#x27;s its barely bearable.<p>Yet again, I like that Musk and Kanye kind of people claim that they want free speech because at least we can hold them responsible when they don&#x27;t deliver it. This is in contrast with the pure fascist where they cannot be held responsible for anything because they don&#x27;t claim virtue in first place. It&#x27;s a bit like companies doing greenwashing, which can be exposed when they don&#x27;t deliver on their claimed virtues versus companies who don&#x27;t even claim such virtues and instead pretend that it doesn&#x27;t matter. Those who claim virtue are better even if they ultimately fail.
