Your assumptions would be wsrong. I am not a liberal, and will never be a liberal. The fact that some of my values overlap with supposed liberalism is coincidental.

I do not take my values from Chomsky. I had my values half a century before I heard of Chomsky. I was clear that I agreeed with him on Climate Change and Biden but I had my reservations about the other stuff he said.

No, I do not believe in the freedom to say whatever one likes. Nor does the law. Slander someone and see how far your freedom of speech takes you.

Alongside freedom of speech goes the freedom to refuse to interact, listen, acknowledge what someone else says. We have the freedom to block what we don't approve of.

I loathe liberalism as much as I loathe conservatism. Both are ideologies, and I do not subscribe to ideology.

Cheers.
