If you utter the words “freedom of speech is great, until…,” you are 100% a fascist.
Y’all can keep downvoting. Says a lot about you and your flexible morality.
Freedom of speech is great, until people start drawing swastikas
And they’re free to do that without reprisal from the government. But that doesn’t stop the community from beating their ass.
Do you think people in Germany should be allowed to draw swastikas while saying anti semitic things? Think carefully about your response
Free from government reprisal for acts of speech, yes. I would hope their neighbors wouldn’t tolerate it. But once it escalates beyond speech like that, there’s consequences.
Let's freedom of speech nuclear codes to terrorist organizations. Why not? Go away, disingenuous prick.
Ok, strawman.
Do you know what a strawman or edge case is?
Do you know what a sweeping generalization is?
A good description for constitutional rights, which have minimal if any limitations on them. Your edge cases don’t change that.
Yes, constitutional rights have to be crafted for most general scenarios.
So you don't. Can't say I didn't expect it.
K. I’m done arguing against your support for fascism by you excusing it with edge cases and strawmen. Blocked.
So brave.
yeah I don't think people who have classified info should be allowed to give that to the enemy.
The problem that we now have is that anything embarrassing or incriminating for politicians gets classified.
