His desire is not to say what he wants. His desire is for no one to be allowed to disagree with him when he does.

And / or face the consequences social or otherwise

Just for him though. For others he loves consequences; exclude or browbeat them or or firebomb their office or slam them on the pavement and arrest them. Whatever.

Time for the Frank Wilhoit quote:

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition ... There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

I was out with friends the other week and we went to the pub that we hang out in almost 20 years ago. Shockingly, some people were still there and never really left. We sat next to a table wth 3 dudes talking about how they just grew up different and they miss to be able to say what they want. They didn't use the word cancelled, but that's what they ment. At some point i turned around and asked them what they wanna say that they can't anymore. I didn't got a real answer because they were really drunk. I told them that i believe they just want to be openly racist, which they still can, they just don't like the repercussions.
Lots of complaining, lots or arguing, but it always boils down to racism

"I just want to be able to shit all over people with certain racial or sexual characteristics without anyone pointing out my bigotry, telling me to 'go fuck myself', or punching me in my stupid face. You're not allowed to say anything anymore!"
