He didn't make a mistake. Monroe is a techbrained libfash moron who's only purpose in life is to excuse the excessives of technocapital until it destroys the planet. I do like the realization how much of a sacred cow xkcd is tho. This is insightful for the future.

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

No he's not. Freedom of speech and the "right to free speech" are abstract ideals and are not the same thing as the First Amendment, which is one particular and limited legal protection of freedom of speech applying only to one specific country.

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

He's only technically right on the grounds that the First Amendment's free speech protections only apply to the government.

The r-slurred part is that he's totally okay with corporate and social censorship because some people confuse the abstract freedom of speech and First Amendment rights.

He's only okay with legal censorship because he feels that the censors are on "his side", which based on his Hillary endorsement is a naive view of heroic bloo vs demonic red.

My theory is that tech-cels autists like him dont understand the concept of philosophical ideas itself, because their entire neurodivergent existence is filled with rigid written rules with no nuance or contradiction, that they arent supposed to question, like when the code they write just works despite them not understanding quite how.

These spergs understand the law because it is written down and relatively clear. They dont get the nuance of it, which is why they sperg out when a judgement isnt how their autism brains expect it to.

philosophical concepts are ideals that you should strive for, but that are contradictory so you will never quite reach them. That ephemeral quality breaks autist's brains, it doesnt make any sense to them. thats why they dont understand its existence or value for normal people.

"libfash" is not a concept that makes any sense. fascism is inherently illiberal. The general thrust of the argument that Monroe is politically r-slurred is good though though. I wish his comics would stick to funny technology jokes since there's a lot of good ones.

One of my favorite hobbies is accusing progressives of being fascist sympathizers and watching how quickly other progressives turn on them and try to shred them to pieces for wokeness points. "What's that? You say cancel culture doesn't exist? Then how do you explain how quickly you just got cannibalized by all of your so-called friends and allies? Curious."

No. He is falsely equating "the right of free speech" to only limiting the "government" which of course is a fascist semantic trick. The real power is not in the hands of the government but of capital. It's nonsensical and devious to draw the line at stopping the abuses of the simulacra of power rather than Power Itself.

and

The subtext is this comic has been used time and again by techbrained fashholes who want to limit certain narratives in the public sphere of discussion. "Just because you can't say that we shouldn't be arming the Azov Battalion on the equivalent of the cyber public square doesn't mean you don't have freedom of speech, sweaty"

they obviously went to the bardfinn school of "i'm going to type a bunch of words that seem smart but i'm actually saying nothing meaningful at all".

I'm not wrong โ€“ first off. I'm not talking about Stonetoss or whatever. I understand who Randall Monroe is and I get saying anything negative โ€“ even if true โ€“ about him will piss off Redditors. Monroe is deeply fascistic. He provides cover for Liberal technofascists and their wholesale destruction of the planet. He has also provided cover for the destruction of normal working class people's freedom of speech with his horrible equating of "freedom of expression with the 1st amendment" argument you so often see among smug libfash types. Second off, did you feel like a good person making that comment? How intoxicating is the smugness of thinking you're right? How poisonous to the soul is the feeling of piling on to another individual? Even if I were wrong, my comment provides an honest, dissident point-of-view. Yours is selling out your soul for orange pixels.
