What astounds me are the people on Hacker News who cry about free speech over Parler yet are silent when Russia jails someone for being in an opposition party, a TRUE violation of free speech.

"I believe that President Trump's Twitter ban is an unacceptable act of censorship." - Alexey Navalny //twitter.com/navalny/status/1347959515946360833?s=19

I have never been silent about Navalny. He is clearly a political prisoner. However it is important to be consistent, and not only be a critic when it's your adversaries commiting a fault.
