I must say, as a fellow 🦅conservative®🦅 it concerns me on free speech grounds to see comments deleted just for pointing out the "scientist" in the article is funded by Charles Koch.
That's a fair criticism, and I gratefully accept it. But the user who posted it was, as far as I gathered, not a conservative. This magazine is meant to be a place for conservatives. Please see the Mission Statement. This is not a place for leftists, who outnumber us 1000 : 1 in the Fediverse, to discuss or debate. A political debate magazine would be more appropriate for that. If you'd like to present a conservative critique of this article, the petition it's written about, or that particular sponsorship alleged from this leftist source, you're freely welcome to do so.
Your mission statement is anti free speech. The mission statement is a safe space, the opposite of free speech.
I suppose the true libertarian position would be to say "all magazines must be open to all content." But I am not a libertarian, and this is not a libertarian magazine.
Like any magazine other than m/random, this one has a topic. And that topic is conservative perspectives. You have the rest of the Fediverse to discuss anything else.
Within the realm of conservative perspectives, everyone is free here to speak openly.
