The Left is sectarian, they oppose any speech at all by non-Leftists, especially
if they agree with the Leftists on something. The priority of the Left is to kill
non-Leftist criticism of government, corporations, media, society, etc., and
reserve speech for Leftist mouths only. I think others can see this too, that
the Left are the apologists for the status quo.
