The woke left needs a lesson in the principle of reciprocity.

In plain English, this means I extend to you the rights you extend to me. Otherwise, I don't care about your rights. It's why I don't believe in human rights for Islamist terrorists.

There has been no free speech for critics of woke Neo-Marxism for years & Jimmy Kimmel along with the rest of the woke entertainment industry and media have been cheering on and/or at the forefront of online cancellation mobs of their ideological rivals and not just high profile people.

Ordinary people, often with very little financial security net, as well as high profile people, have paid a hefty cost with job losses, smearing of reputations and the financial and psychological pain that comes with it. The woke left needs to pay a cost for that with a taste of their own cancellation medicine.

This is a culture war and our side needs to start winning. If we get to a truce and negotiations, then we can get back to actually agreeing on basic principles. I'd welcome that. But the era of free speech for thee and costly speech for me is over and the balance sheet needs to be balanced.

Until then, many of us who oppose Neo-Marxist wokeism are no longer prepared to play by a set of rules that only we obey and that are continually weaponised against us. Gavin McInnes is right. If you kick me in the balls , then I’m going to kick you in the balls. We can agree to stop when the other side agrees to basic principles.

Many on the woke left are cheering on, celebrating or justifying murdering those who don’t agree with them. As much as I admire @KonstantinKisin , I really don’t care about the free speech rights of people who want people on my side to have their lives destroyed or worse murdered.
