 bigotry & anti-woke = conservative? 

Seems like some broad strokes 🤷‍♂️

 I am not saying they all come together, but some of the things I've been reading come from people that put it all together... they are not mutually exclusive

 Gotcha.  Free speech tech doesn't only help the disenfranchised, it also exposes the dummies. But it necessarily can't treat either differently. I get what you're saying though

 Eh, maybe. I don't think I am though?... I believe Marce is saying freedom tech isn't important so that people can spout hateful nonsense. Which I agree with. Freedom tech is important because it gives everyone a voice. Full stop.  Any classification of said speech, from a system design standpoint, would be counter productive imo. 

But my original comment was just pointing out that there are obviously conservatives that aren't bigots and there are obviously anti-woke folks that aren't bigots (which I now know is not what she meant).
