Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca also apply here. See the sidebar on the homepage:
The article points out that those that have been bitching about free speech being suppressed when it's about some bigot spewing fash crap, are uniquely silent when it comes to racialized people speaking out about genocide and apartheid. The "free speech debate", "anti-wokism", "anti-cancelling" etc has never been about lifting the voices of those who are structurally silenced at every turn in this country. It has always been about people that already have privilege being able to punch down with impunity. So fuck that.
I'm here making noise about the silencing of genocide and apartheid.
