Notes -
I think any community of 'witches' tends to end up being less of a circlejerk than normie communities. Firstly, most 'witches' are highly motivated to value freedom of expression, because it benefits them. Secondly, it's more likely for normies to wander into witch communities than the other way around, because there are more normies. And thirdly, witches tend to value agreement and consensus a lot less, and therefore are more likely to voice their disagreement.
Of course, all communities must be circlejerks to some extent - people need to agree, if nothing else, on what subjects are interesting and worth talking about, even if they end up saying different things.
The witch analogy included a very small number of principled civil libertarians, that's who values freedom of expression.
Witches are not any more interested in freedom of expression as a terminal principle. They'd be just as willing to engage in censorship if they had power.
That's why I said that witches like freedom of expression because it benefits them (rather than on principle).
