Thank you, Ewan McGregor!

Pay attention though because this is important, this reaction. People like Piers do it all the time. 

He’s low-key claiming that his right to freedom of speech is being attacked. It’s one of the most popular strawman arguments to throw out in this modern reality. 

Did Ewan McGregor once say that Piers isn’t allowed his opinion? No. did he say he SHOULDN’T be allowed his opinion? No. He said he didn’t want to talk to him. That is not stopping someone from having an opinion in any way.

But, “they want to take my right to speak freely,” is WWAAAAAYYYYYY easier to fight against then, “no one wants to talk to me because I’m a repugnant human being.”

Trying to claim “censorship” when people criticize your opinions or don’t want to talk to you is a CLASSIC technique. Don’t fall for it.
