Having met Cal, the description tracks.
I have never known a man with such big a soap box as cal newport
I find the particularly libertarian mindset of the hackernews audience really fascinating here. If a group of neo nazis were organizing an attack on people in a hotel room, wouldn’t the hotel be allowed to kick them out? Or the same situation with a landlord and their tenants?

People keep bringing up ideology. This isn’t really about ideology, this is about violence. Parler was being used to organize violence.

Unfortunately that’s not how it works. If republicans remain in control of the senate (Georgia runoff races in January will decide) then they control what they vote on and what they don’t. So there wouldn’t even be a vote.
