    Banning speech and calling everyone fascist doesn’t help anyone though.

    i don’t call ‘everyone’ a fascist. only fascists. maybe it doesn’t help. but what has the “let’s let the fascists speak their racist bigoted pedophile minds” approach done for the whole country?

        Ah, someone who doesn’t understand Free Speech.

        You’re free to say whatever you want, and we’re free to tell bigots to fuck off, because we’re not required to listen to your bullshit.

        Private websites are not required to host your hatred, that’s compelled speech, and is a violation of the First Amendment. Not that conservatives have ever cared about other people’s rights.

          this person is also ignoring the fact that the GOP has been fighting tooth and nail for decades to ban speech in libraries, public schools, and government properties, while at the same time trying (and succeeding in way too many cases) to force jesus narrative in those same locations.

        I can tell you that the side that wants to ban speech

        correct me if i’m wrong, but i can only guess you’re talking about racist, derogatory, misogynistic, homophobic, or otherwise legitimately harmful “no-no” words that you’re butthurt about being banned for.

        go ahead–call me every slur you can think of. “in order for me to be offended, i first have to give a fuck what you think”

        i don’t
