I Dont Believe In Free Speech For Hate Groups

edit to be more specific .. its more about combatting the hate speech which in fact hacks and suppresses love speech online and elsewhere all sorts of brainwashing for some blatantly empty purpose

their is such thing as hate for hate... which is not hate
if you have an opinion to try and limit the dreams anyone lives for,
it is personal
if someone wishes to reach for the kind of love they live for and you wish to limit this it is personal

my main concern is women being supported in their decisions within whats left of this earth free space for free love and free love does not mean take a persons freedom in exchange for ur umph achievement moment

I've noticed "free speech" has become a go to phrase for conservatives, often ultra-conservatives.
They believe their free speech is under threat, even though many of the largest and most powerful news sources are owned by people who think like them and their views are actually over-represented, if anything.
I feel they use it as a way of trying to evade any serious examination of their thoughts and, as you say, free speech entitles the other side a right to reply and challenge, always.

@DarkMoon They also seem to believe that "free speech" is "consequence free" speech; and so they're shocked when they lose jobs or business as a result of speaking freely.
The First Amendment simply keeps the government from incarcerating you because of what you have to say (and that's not absolute).

@bijouxbroussard Yes, totally. And I think direct action is a really good thing. If someone in the public eye posts something hateful or aggressive, its fair game to alert their employers or sponsors to it, imo.
