I love how Trump, Vance and Musk style themselves defenders of free speech, while simultaneously banning government agencies from mentioning climate change or diversity (inc biodiversity!), equity and inclusion, or even possessing maps which show the Gulf of Mexico. Torquemadas the lot of them.

For them, it seems, the only speech that should be free is hate speech.

Just moved over. Musk and his platform of vitriol give me the creeps. He cosplays the Great Freedom Fighter but it's quite clear he is more interested in controlling the narrative and manipulating the political landscape to benefit himself than in our freedom.

That is correct. I left X a year ago....my biggest interest was the environment and animals. But whenever I would post credible sources...including your articles...in any any kind of debate or argument on X...they would accuse me of 'spamming' and 'limit views'...so i was just talking to myself.

Or at least, “their speech” - as in Free speech for me but not for thee

Freedom of speech to them (and conservatives more broadly) is typically reserved for spreading their hate and bullshit. When someone says anything they disagree with, that freedom disappears faster than a fart in a hurricane.

Their "free speech" means them being free to decide what you can say.

Wait until they try to track down all copies of historical maps of Mexico that show us where Mexico was when the Gulf of Mexico got its name.

It was never about free speech it was about normalising the extremes of opinion, creating wedges and profiteering from the chaos that ensued.

They'll happily allow fawning praise of them too. Though, that perhaps amounts to indirect hate speech.

Judi Conner @judiconner.bsky.social · 16/02/2025

Spot on. And they’d probably call that hate speech ‘love speech’. They upturn everything. The only hostility on yesterday’s London peace march for Palestine came from a group of extremists calling themselves ‘Stop The Hate’.

Musk says his first Starships head to Mars next year and then each two-year window when the planets are closest to complete his Mars base for a million people in 20 years. He’s claiming Mars as a free planet. Can you investigate how this links to using Trump, Reform UK to kill net zero. DMs open.

As SpaceX prepares its 8th test launch of Starship - the rocket designed to take 100 people at a time to Mars - Elon Musk says the first trip to Mars will be late 2026. And thereafter, Musk says he will send Starships in every two-year launch window, when Earth and Mars are closest.

It's freedom only within a very tightly defined boundary.

I’m keen to get an answer to the question, what is it you want to say that you claim you can’t. We know the answer…

Such a short, powerful and starkly correct comment, George. It would serve splendidly in a protest song. By one of the greats. Like whoever is the new John Lennon?

@georgemonbiot.bsky.social I saw your DDN vid on FB this evening. Have you written about the billionaire free spaces in your most recent book? I’m intrigued as I’ve been thinking another system outside of ‘the' system needs to be created for years. I’d really love to read your ideas about it.

No no, it’s that the only speech that should be free is THEIR speech

Or maybe the only speech that should be free is theirs. So, same/same I guess.

Mathew Lowry @mathewlowry.eurosky.social · 16/02/2025

Well, the only speech that should be free is *their* speech, which is hate speech.

zidangus.bsky.social @zidangus.bsky.social · 16/02/2025

I would say the only speech they like is their own.
