Exactly. I have no objection to him spewing his low effort bait here, or better in the thread devoted to low effort bait, but I'm under no obligation to read it.
The notion that 'If I'm not allowed to yell nonsense in your face you're a hypocrite is absurd'.
Also, Pinochetian Minarchism doesn't exactly commit to free speech in all circumstances. For example, if the Commies are trying to take over it could be argued that extra-judicially killing them was a violation of almost all of the rights they would be guaranteed under the US Bill of Rights except perhaps the Fifth Amendment right to remain silent. However, under Pinochetian Minarchism the violation of their rights is permissible because it allows for an authoritarian regime to take over instead of a totalitarian one. As leading foreign policy expert Jeane Kirkpatrick noted authoritarian regimes are both less repressive and much more likely to liberalize than totalitarian ones.

That was written in 1979. Apart from Zaire which collapses she was right about all the US-backed authoritarian regimes liberalizing and that all the anti-US totalitarian ones did not.
If there's a coup going on and the media is pushing disinformation designed to demoralize people are you obligated to allow them to do so? I'd argue no even if we're not quite at the helicopter stage yet.

The interesting thing about the Antifa aligned left is that their notion that censorship and violence can be used against wannabe totalitarians actually applies much more to them than the people they are tormenting. Similarly, the Democrat-aligned media and Big Tech companies have put themselves in a position where some sort of US government-imposed censorship is justified. And before anyone says 'What about the First Amendment' it's worth pointing out that Lincoln
had opposition newspapers closed.
It's a shame that the modern US right is in the position the Chilean right was in the 70s but they didn't choose to be put there. The Democrats, the media, BLM and AntiFa, and Big Tech put them in that position by ramming through this election fraud through censorship and intimidation.
Pinochetian Minarchism is to regular Republicanism what General Relativity is to Newtonian Mechanics. In non-extreme conditions, they look similar but in extreme conditions, they are very, very different.
Now you could say 'If you believe in censorship and violence would it not also follow that the left will too?'. And the answer to that is 'Yes. but they would anyway. All the poisonous shit people like Marcuse came up with would lead to violence from AntiFa and BLM and censorship from the left regardless of how principled the right was'.
fucking hypocrite.
