Most of us Canadians never have to worry about hate speech laws Joe, because most of us aren't running around saying hateful, race baiting, genocidal speech. If you worry about hate speech laws getting you, maybe you're the one with the issue

That's exactly it. It's always hate speech that those who are braying about free speech are trying to protect.

Can you provide any examples of him ever doing that?

[–] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You want examples of what exactly? Rogan using hate speech? He's one of those guys that instead of talking hate speech, he'll invite a bigot on his show, listen to the bigot being a bigot while Joe goes "that's interesting.... I've never thought of it that way"

In any case I'm commenting on his concern with our hate speech laws, which only hateful bigots are ever concerned about. Is regular folk don't do that kind of stuff

So no examples of Joe Rogan being hateful, race baiting or genocidal speech.

You guys dislike him because he will talk to anyone, even people you disagree with if I'm reading things right.

Of him being concerned about hate speech laws? It's in the link.

That was a the one part I was not asking about.
