"Barely recognizable as the work of a liberal society"
Social progressivism—with it’s showy nods to “tolerance” and its attempts to legislate away thought crimes —have brought us to the brink of an Orwellian moment where essentially phatic speech, uttered at the spur of the moment, can now be criminalized by self-appointed speech police using legislation that is itself barely recognizable as the work of a liberal society.
A useful thing to remember in light of the upcoming smearing of Sam Alito.
