@mtaibbi I have to say, this is one of the few instances of @mtaibbi being consistent. And it's what I admired.

Now, if it's about freedom of speech on Twitter, he'll let Elon do whatever he wants to suppress speech here, so long as he can say conservatives were previously suppressed.

I’ve always been against these War on Terror surveillance programs. I was against the Patriot Act, the FISA Amendments Act, against StellarWind, etc. When do you think I was for any of this?

I don’t think I’ve changed. When did your thinking change so much? You’re smart. Was there an event?
