Why is the right against free speech?



Seems like conservatives are the snowflakes, but okay.

Btw if we're not obligated to respond to idiots, I guess we can stop giving white supremacists platforms then yeah?

@basilfawlty89 yes I've been here the whole time. Watching. Reading. Fuming. Furious. Triggered. I didn't just click on the link in my notifications after entertaining myself elsewhere for an hour. 🐸☕

@katielass And where are the rights violated of your dear Neo-Nazis you support marching? The government didn't arrest them. Where are the rights violated of your dear Milo (who thinks it's okay to rape 13 year old boys) violated, the government didn't arrest him?
What about when the "evil left" blocks you on Twitter - I thought that was against free speech? But when this same situation occurs in reverse it's not the same? Yet you, the person in question and Snickerdooodle have both blocked people on here. Maybe you lot are oversensitive snowflakes?

@Snickerdooodle Nice Pepe, I also like dead memes. I prefer Richard Spencer getting punched :)

He blocked me, too. So has katielass and I don't even recall debating her on anything. Free speech, as defines by people like that, is the right to say anything you like, just as long as it falls in line with their ideology and doesn't need vocabulary or logic to be refuted. Consider it a badge of honor.

@Graylight Why can't there be two best answer awards lol?

The right on here call you a hypocrite because 'liberals' (sic) deny free speech to white supremacists, apparently.

It's an interesting debate as to whether fascists should be allowed free speech or not when they would deny it to others. I think they should though the point is contestable. There are also limits to the first amendment that most of these dumb asses haven't read.

This is a different debate as to whether Nazis should be allowed a platform. Universities have the choice on who they book to speak and give legitimacy too. This is different to a defence/attack on legal free speech.

It is often hypocrisy anyway, as the person who blocked you demonstrated.

So you are the one blocking the white supremacist from speaking and you are the one decrying the right wing having limited free speech? Does that mean you are right wing? Colour me confused.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@basilfawlty89 OK just trying to figure it out. Your story confused me.
basilfawlty89 · 31-35, M
@hippyjoe1955 I'm not surprised, strangely.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@basilfawlty89 Well you weren't very clear on you explanation. Sometimes what makes sense in your head does not make sense in some one else's head.
Snickerdooodle · 31-35, F
Her question she posted, she has the right to delete whatever she wants. Maybe your response was so annoying she couldn't stand to look at it. ☺
Snickerdooodle · 31-35, F
Nah I'm just bored at work 😊
basilfawlty89 · 31-35, M
@Snickerdooodle Surrrreee, you are. Gonna make some posts about "liberals" (not a liberal btw, they're not actually left wing, I'm an Anarchist, meaning far-left) talking about first-world problems while complaining about what people say online is itself a first world problem? Or gonna start complaining about Milo's book deal because that's totally a serious issue - not like starving people in Sudan or anything ;)

@basilfawlty89 I got blocked because I asked if he meant by "real Americans" the people who got already killed more than a century ago 😂
Thanks for B.A. btw! 👍

Why are Conservatives so up tight about alledged free speech violations on racists and fascist?

Of causes to speak about,this would not be top of my list.
Tatsumi · 31-35, M
And black supremacists.

But that's the thing. Free speech means anyone can say whatever they like, even if it's dumb as shit or racist as fuck.

But, in regards to online, he is right, ya know. For instance, you can call someone and say whatever you like to them. But you have no control over whether or not they stay on the phone. That isn't included in free speech.
basilfawlty89 · 31-35, M
@Tatsumi Yeah, but their arguments on Twitter is usually "x left winger blocked me, haha hate free-speech censorship lefty snowflakes MAGA".

The thing is, actually, free-speech has limits anywhere. Technically laws against libel and defamation of character is a limitation on free-speech, and even in classical liberalism incitement to violence is not considered free-speech.

The right to free-speech was specifically enshrined so we have the power to criticize those in authority.
Tatsumi · 31-35, M
@basilfawlty89 Sure. I sympathize with all that. He's likely being hypocritical.
katielass · F
When someone on the right starts actually interfering with your first amendment right you be sure to let us know. Until then, we'll keep exposing and fighting the left who we've all seen on the news using violence to prevent others from exercising their first amendment rights. Us 1 you 0
basilfawlty89 · 31-35, M
@katielass Who stopped your first amendright right? The first amendment states the government can't arrest you for your views or for criticising your leaders (wait...don't you lot want to stand with Trump while he prosecutes journalists 🤔).

Hypocritical triggered conservative snowflakes.
wakanda4eva · 26-30, F
I'm not exactly sure what u commented, maybe it was just a simple question, but especially for a person's own post, they have the right to somewhat act their freedom of speech, by responding how they like or not responding at all.
basilfawlty89 · 31-35, M
@wakanda4eva it's more the irony that this idiot was calling others snowflakes for doing the exact same thing. Hence, hypocrisy.
Lol i blocked that old dude myself just cause he seemed an arrogant prick bully type😄😄
