    Only bigots are afraid to “speak freely” at work. I speak freely all the time, and at work, you just have to not be marginalising or belittling or degrading someone else while doing it.

      To paraphrase a quote I really like:

      “I say all the vile, racist and sexist shit I want to say, which is none. How much do you want to say?”

      I don’t think that’s even true anymore. After winning the culture war, the bigots definitely seem more embolded to speak freely, at work or otherwise. Despite this, many to this day will express feeling like the powers that be are censoring them even though their political party dominates nearly every aspect of politics and public life.

      I think this is an excellent point. Any reasonable person will accept a challenge if they unknowingly say or do anything inappropriate. Which they’re unlikely to do
