Free speech is bigger than the first amendment, liberals must ALWAYS side with speech, especially against the corporation. We are supposed to support free speech even when a TOS allows censorship, it is vital now that the corporation control public speech.
Yeah, “posting items which may interfere with an election.” It was a meme. Is it your serious contention that this meme was a danger to an election? It’s a bullshit excuse, progressives wanted him shut down because progressives think words are violence so a differing opinion is attempted murder and we must all be…
Yeah, even Karl Popper himself disagreed with you about this:
Hate speech and "abusive" speech are free speech. Offensive speech is free speech. Anything that doesn't call for imminent violence is protected. Everything.
“It’s depends on what the topic is. “
Um, being against free speech, advocating political violence, and breaking everyone down into their race/gender/sexuality categories? The left now tells you what you can or cannot do or say based on your race/gender/sexuality, will side with corporate control of speech, and will assault you in the street if they feel…
Woods was censored. Is censorship a liberal value? And don't give me the private corporation bullshit, free speech is bigger than the first amendment. Liberals are ALWAYS supposed to be on the side of free expression. You're on the side of corporate power. How progressive.
Forget it man, they are pro-censorship. The sooner we acknowledge that progressives are simply pro-censorship, the better.
The idea that liberals would take “good manners” to the extreme of advocating corporate censorship is fucking insane. Yes, we have to tolerate “bad” speech. Even Karl Popper, the creator of the paradox of tolerance, thinks this:
You truly have to be fucking kidding that Twitter isn't leftist. Amazing. Not liberal, mind you. They've partnered with progressives. Progressives aren't liberal.
We’re in New territory here, it’s no longer the government we need to contend with, it is the corporation. You realize you are totally on the side of corporate control of speech, right?
Corporations now control speech. They run the platforms on which public speech depends. Your logic means you’re fine with that.
Liberals are ALWAYS supposed to champion free speech, and free speech is bigger than the 1st Amendment. It is unimaginable that a liberal would have sided with a corporation in a free speech matter just four years ago. Social justice and progressivism aren't liberal. We'd appreciate it your just be honest and say so.
Yes, they can and should sue him. But you cannot censor him. Are you openly advocating that he should be censored and removed from the internet?
Ah yes, this old canard. By these standards, Islam should not be tolerated for being intolerant of gays and women’s rights. And how does Jones’ free expression somehow translate into intolerance? What do his WORDS do to exclude people from society? Because it hurts some fucking feelings?
Exactly, the progressive left has ceded the defense of free speech to the right because progressives are actively against free expression. Just a brilliant move, giving your enemies the unassailable moral high ground on this issue.
If he physically hurt you...Call. The. Fucking. Police. Oh, he was “abusive” and you consented to his behavior and stayed in the relationship? That. Is. Your. Fault. Jesus Christ, you want to destroy someone whom you voluntarily lived with and consented to a relationship with? Your problem. But I guess there is…
Free speech is not just about the first amendment. If you are a liberal, you support a general principle of free expression. The 1st protects you from government censorship, but we live in an age where corporations control speech. The fact that progressives wildly applaud corporate censorship is so shortsighted and…
History is history. There is not a psychiatrist in the world who would tell you to live in the past. This is the hard, straight truth: Get over it. You have to, or you will destroy yourself and others. My ”people” were slaughtered by Nazis and communists. My people were slaves to the “White Man.” Not a Goddamn thing I…
