Yes, I knew it would be tough for you accept

One, as far as we know, is speaking out of turn and outside the "progressive" mantra.

The other is treason.

Can you figure out the difference?

I'm not a Nazi.

But I'll pose my question again for the libertarians:

What is the evidence that free speech is the biggest issue of our time?

Well, not a Nazi.

I don't think you are a Jew hater, nor a pagan.

But definitely a fascist.

"When people are afraid, they cling to the certainty of the world they know and avoid taking physical, emotional and intellectual risks."


You think things are bad now with our whiny seniors, just wait til the Flossy's of the world get old.

I know Flossy doesn't care one iota about freedom (nor do Trumpites for that matter) but in the words of Joni Mitchell, you don't know what you got til it's gone

The other is treason.

Ya, sure it is.

free speech was never really intended or designed for social media. There is something going on there that calls for control of some sort.

Well we already have fairly reasonable hate speech laws - at least Colpy agrees with that.

Ahhhh....no there is not.

And we are not talking about social media, we are talking about political speeches.

Free speech was not "intended or designed" in the first place. It is a right. Not something granted to you by your beloved masters

No, actually, I do not. And if you think I do, then you haven't been paying attention.

I think threats and/or inciting violence are the lines that should not be crossed. Both those things were illegal before hate speech laws.

The UK - a country in which leaders of political parties are arrested because the ruling authorities don't agree with them.

Sounds like a dictatorship.
