NOT ANYMORE: Do Liberals Care if Books Disappear? The Dr. Seuss cancellation illustrates all the problems that they used to have with censorship.

In retrospect, it’s clear that they were only worried about censorship if they weren’t in control of who was censored. Most of the lefty free speech/academic freedom project was really just about building a defense for communists. Now that they’re in charge, they don’t need it and are happy to discard it. It was always just useful bullshit to them.
