    Disagreement is completely different from what I was talking about.

    I’m not talking about disagreement. I’m talking about contrary opinions and arguments being actively suppressed in left-leaning forums.

    I’m talking about posts and comments being removed, solely because the expressed opinion is unpopular among leftists. I’m talking about people being quietly suspended or banned for suggesting a jury’s not-guilty verdict was appropriate.

    No, I am not referring to simple disagreement. I’m referring to the left being broadly sheltered from dissent on self defense laws, which is deeply troubling, because legal professionals and informed, layperson jurors regularly side with those dissenting opinions.

    We don’t even see the self defense laws in left-leaning states drifting toward the opinions held on the left, but presenting their current state is essentially a bannable offense in left-leaning forums.

    I stand by my assertion that the left’s position on self defense is a massive echo chamber.
