Disregarding an age is fairly typical of the partisan approach.  If something does not support your worldview, you pretend it doesn't exist.  It's just one of your holes.  Nukes, insurgent war, computer networks and renewable energy do exist and have changed the pattern of civilization.  You might pretend otherwise, block the changed out of your mind.  Still, war is less cost effective.  Information is far more available.  The shift is rather obvious to those with eyes open to see.

Rights do not include the ability to hurt others.  You do not have a right to disregard other's rights.  If I and other liberals demand what you call censorship, it is of harmful speech.  It is of the dominant folk wishing to prove themselves superior to minorities.  Racists would have a true problem with that.

Normally liberals are all for free speech and the other rights of conscience.  Still, there is no right that cannot be abused.

It's not a miracle.  It is the turnings turning that I and others are hoping for.  Every four score and seven years, a new birth of freedom.  Yes, it is like usual.

Those who are against freedom, those who would hurt others, those who would lock flaws in the culture in place such as racist violent police, do get purged from time to time.  It is a feature, not a bug.  Being a cheerleader for violence, hatred and tribal thinking means risking the chance of getting purged once in a while.  This seems one of those times.
