What a disappointment. Seriously.
We can't outcompete rich assholes peddling attractive lies in the "marketplace of ideas", because attractive lies always beat difficult truths.
Ferris can get fucked, and we should be trying to deplatform him.
Americans have this idea that free speech, no matter how odious, irrational and false to the fact it is, is something sacred, and that truth doesn't exist or matter.
The idea that some people can buy expensive amplification systems and get paid to yell FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE all day long in a crowded theater, and our only response can be to try to outshout the PA system by yelling "no fire, no fire" is a bad one.
