Smacks of someone who simply has a different perspective on diversity and freedom rather than a goal of increasing it.
One only needs to look at the comment sections - if they even still exist - of various websites to notice that by nature of the perspective being different, it usually does inherently increase it.
Say what you want about conservatives, and they may get angry and offended just as anyone else, but they do enjoy engaging in debate. But its an an open “secret” that the opposite end of the spectrum is much more eager to silence and ban opposition, both directly, and indirectly through the invention of new and use of existing words and phrases to character-assassinate even when the shoe doesn’t actually fit. You know, like “domestic terrorist” for parents who dare want to have a say in what the schools they pay taxes for teach their own children.
I regularly post in NYT comment sections, and over half of my comments - which I make sure to keep as civil as is reasonably possible - are not approved, while extremely incendiary comments in line with the NYT’s bias are in full abundance.
They can’t prove you wrong if you don’t let them speak.
