Scary how many people in here are anti free speech. Yes, they're stupid, cancerous, lot of white supremacists, and all the scum and villany etc , but like, the point of free speech is that you're allowed to say that shit.

Make a threat? Absolutely, track IPs and investgate logs, lawful actions against unlawful acts. But to flat out ban every one you disagree with? Disgusting. And you should be ashamed of it.

Any kind of freedom ends were you are violating the freedom of someone else. Spitting hatred against women and minorities has nothing to do with freedom of speech.

Saying hateful, dumbass shit doesn't violate anyone's freedom. Denying them their right to congregate, get equal service in business, have bodily autonomy, etc. does. However, speech alone is not enough to equate to action, in most cases.

Freedom of speech works out when everyone's speech is equal. But in the real world, it isn't. if it were, the minority wouldn't have to fight for their rights and the laws would apply the same to the majority.

"free speech" is clickbait for the racists, created by racists to drown out the opposing voices of minority while calling it equality.

Your "freedom of speech" was added in the constitution on December 15, 1791. It took almost 200 years for the cilvil rights movement in 1950s for the black people to have equal rights.

Don't flaunt it like it has any shred of importance beyond what the majority of the US population uses it for. And it's to be racist bigots.

Keep concern trolling though

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Wtf are you talking about?

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

They probably meant authoritarianism or something like that

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

TIL fascism and authoritarianism mean "to judge a shitty thing as shitty"

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Friend...

Everyone should be on a terror list

I couldn't give a single shit about their "freedom of speech"

They might be talking about this part...

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world -2 points 10 months ago (7 children)

Yeah find me a single response where anyone is agreeing with that sentiment.

"Lemmy is advocating for full on fascism!!!" When I think OP actually was advocating in favor of FrEe SpEeCh in reality
