A commenter said that in the period after George Floyd's death “it was just free open season on anything that seemed to oppose the progressive movement” and warned that standards of fairness should not be abandoned.
The commenter said those standards include “the basic rules of fairness” and “thoughtfulness and caring and sharing” and that those values should remain part of public life. “And that's all gone now,” the commenter added.
The speaker cautioned against treating speakers as a “special suspect category,” saying, “if it does, most of us would be there quickly to correct it.” The remarks included a historical comparison: “I mean, that's sort of like, you know, Nazi Germany in 1937.”
The comments consisted of personal observations about public discourse rather than any formal policy proposal or action. No motions, votes, or official directives were recorded in the transcript excerpt.
The remarks reflect one person's view about the social climate following a major national incident and do not represent a resolution or the position of an institution or governing body.
