Not really. It’s giving McCarthyism, which I hope we all learned in middle school history class was a bad thing😭

Being against communism isn't the same thing as getting rid of free speech rights to try and stave it off

Also conspiracy theory is literally a propaganda term cooked up by the CIA

So then doesn’t it make sense that anti-communism would be seen as a problematic stance to have?

Exactly, I don't see how that'd make sense.

Guy whose takeaway from the HCUA is that it was bad bc it violated free speech and not also because it literally didn’t turn up any actual communists since it was all made up from the start. Almost like anti communism has always been a fucking witch hunt drummed up by people to distract from the real issues

Also yes the clear bigger issue is trying to restrict free speech rather than the failure of the restrictions on free speech to be meaningful

Wouldn’t McCarthyism be pro FBI and CIA?

In theory, yes, but that assumes the McCarthyist is logically consistent and informed about the historical context of their platform (they wouldn’t be, because they’re not very smart), so in practice, no not really, hence why loud anti-communists are often part of the “don’t tread on me” movement
