This may be behind the paywall.
The thrust of the column is that there is a demand for conformity of views in society and a lack of free speech due to this demand for conformity. As his jumping off point, Kotkin uses the lawsuit filed against Mark Steyn after Steyn made fun of global warming and a scientist pushing that idea.
Kotkin then uses the example of the resignation of the CEO of Mozilla this past week because of pressure from homosexual groups that were upset that several years ago this CEO had given a thousand bucks to a group fighting for traditional marriage.
Kotkin would have more credibility if he didn't exclusively use relatively uncontroversial examples of demands for conformity of views and pointed out that the same thing exists in spades relative to people who want to question any aspects of the so-called Holocaust. And, Kotkin's credibility would also be increased if he hadn't fudged and said that he might agree with some lefty views. C'mon Kotkin, if you believe in free speech, and that's what your column was about, then stand up for free speech and don't wimp out.
Kotkin, in this column, I would argue, is a little like the guy who puffs up his chest and yells: "I stand firmly for mom and apple pie, and I have the courage of my convictions." You, of course, realize that there is no risk in such a statement. Such is the case with his column, but it's still worth a read by those who are inclined to try to brow beat others into either silence or conformity with their "accepted" views.

As usual, the MSM are trying to hide the racial hate nature of this attack on a White by Blacks.
HERE'S an article from the MailOnline about this Black on White hate crime. We have to go to British newspapers to get to some of the truth about hate crimes against Whites. Most U.S. newspapers are heavily censored and try to hide the racial nature of attacks on Whites.

A few weak-seed Whites in Costa Mesa don't like the CM PRESS reporting on all these hate crimes against Whites.
These weak-seeds often lack self-esteem, hate themselves and those who look like them and want nothing more than to disappear from existence. And, since a few of them are childless and are getting long in the tooth, they will, indeed, soon disappear due to natural causes. And, they will be gone forever. Forever, is a very long time.
