I think there's a stark difference between government control of free speech and authoritarianism (Right wing) and activists using social clout or 'mob justice' to deplatform people (Left wing). Both aren't good, but there's a huge difference.

All of which are private institutions and therefore are valid expressions of free speech in and of themselves, even if you found it corrosive.

The idea the government needs to step in to tell HR departments what mixture of ideas they’re allowed to hire and reward is ridiculous. That is an actual affront to free speech.

If you don’t like woketard social dynamics, make your own HR department that lacks them, duh.
