I just think that one or both sides is being misrepresented or is being dishonest. If you don't want free speech, do you want censorship? If you don't want social justice, do you want social injustice? It's not like you must have one of censorship or social injustice. There's a false dichotomy going on here.

But there isn't, a blind selection process ended up selecting somebody that social justice deems as worthy of censorship. Hence free speech (blind selection of ideas on their merits - regardless of who it is) vs. social justice (ostracization of bigots by removing all platforms for their speech). The policies - of variations of these two ideological positions - are diametrically opposed in this case.
