Former Reddit chief uses ‘free-speechers’ as a pejorative term - Robert Spencer

Ellen Pao: "At the end of the day, the free-speechers really just want to be able to use racist slurs."

 


This is the view not just of Ellen Pao, but of many more among the Leftist intelligentsia.

“Former Reddit CEO Tries to Make ‘Free-Speechers’ Label an Insult,” by Elizabeth Stauffer, Western Journal, April 7, 2022:

Whether or not you think Elon Musk’s 9.2 percent stake in Twitter will stop or at least reduce the company’s undisguised efforts to censor conservative content on its platform, this news has certainly catapulted the issue of free speech into the national conversation.

Simultaneous admissions from major media outlets that the Hunter Biden laptop stories they dismissed and Big Tech suppressed ahead of the November 2020 election are real make the issue even more relevant.

If the social media giants are able to sway a U.S. presidential election via active censorship of true stories, they have too much power and it needs to be reckoned with.

Former Reddit CEO Ellen Pao has just provided us with the first clue as to how the left will fight back against calls for free speech in America — ridicule and insults.

Supporters of free speech are — you guessed it — racists, Pao told her Twitter followers on Tuesday.

“At the end of the day, the free-speechers really just want to be able to use racist slurs,” she said, sharing a racist email.

“They really don’t care about sharing new ideas or encouraging freedom other than the freedom to harass other people off the platform,” Pao said.

Pao’s second comment could have been written by a conservative to accurately describe liberals….
