They would absolutely love him.... A mindless drone that doesn't question anything, yet is eager to don his jack boots and play the role of storm trooper
You do realize you seem to be the only one here arguing against free speech?
OK, maybe those that are losing their minds over kneeling football players but you get my point
I was thinking the same... This way, he'd still have the psychological advantage in the jack boot part of it without compromising on his feeling feminine and fabulous at the same time
Let's see:
Mentalfloss hates free speech, just like a Nazi. Looks like a duck.
Mentalfloss hates the idea of an armed population, just like a Nazi. Swims like a duck.
Mentalfloss likes political street violence, just like a Nazi. Definitely quacks like a duck.
It's a duck!
Mentalfloss is a Nazi.
The great thing is, the idiot continually calls me a Nazi, but can't even make me look like a duck, much less swim and quack like one.

He has the best of intentions. He wants to suppress speech that's dangerous to society. Which is pretty much the same rationale they used when they locked up Martin Luther King for his speech, which was a danger to the social order.
It certainly bothers you, for some reason.
well, we're clearly better than you, i'm not sure what you mean by 'this'.
"Freedom of speech means freedom for those who you despise, and freedom to express the most despicable views. It also means that the government cannot pick and choose which expressions to authorize and which to prevent."
-- Alan Dershowitz
On the other hand, mentalfloss does have some powerful support for his argument:
"We have to go see Bill Gates and a lot of different people that really understand what's happening. We have to talk to them, maybe in certain areas, closing that Internet up in some way. Somebody will say, 'Oh, freedom of speech, freedom of speech.' These are foolish people. We have a lot of foolish people."

Of course.
To be in government is to be 'left' to begin with.
The question is whether that authority is used for good or harm.
Example:
Trudeau = Good
Harper = Harm
Obama = Good
Trump = Harm
Even 'Free Speech' can only exist through the power of authority (legislation).
