Approximately 2 months after Tim Allen said in an interview with Jimmy Kimmel that Hollywood acts like "1930's Germany" for basically having conservative views the show was cancelled even after having strong ratings.

 

This follows on the heals of other communist like actions from the intolerant Left such as:

Shutting down Milo Yiannopoulos twitter account and protesting his Berkeley speech.

Protesting Ann Coulter again trying to speak at Berkeley.

Google censoring and demonitizing Right leaning views.

 

Why is the Left so against free speech? Why must they protest anyone that has a different opinion from theirs?

Reformulating that to avoid generalizations could make it both more accurate and avoid antagonizing people.

 

"Why is the Left so against free speech? " 

to 

"Why have we seen several left-leaning groups show opposition to free speach?

 

 

 

I'd just straight-up prefer if you didn't make this hard categorizations, at all. They hurt debate, and ultimately your position - as you naturally get opposition from people that feel attacked by being associated to what you are criticizing.

If you just made a list of recent examples of breach of free speech WITHOUT making any further assumptions/associations (and instead, perhaps, arguing why you find this worrying/ what dangers are associated), you could have found support to your concerns instead of indignation.
