Why do deplorables equate criticism with curtailing freedom of speech?

[RoryN]

You are the most "triggered" GB member - you have 30 posts today.

So what? Is that against the law?

Interesting.

What is the malfunction that occurs in the brains of deplorables that makes them mistake criticism of their flawed character for someone attempting to curtail their freedom of speech? It's very consistent.

For what it's worth, I don't know of anyone with average or better intelligence - or strength - who screws this up...

False premise, deplorables knew there wasn't a damn thing you can do to curtail their free speech long before logging on here, shorty.

You don't know "anyone with average or better intelligence - or strength." Your whole problem. You hang with too many snowflakes and spend your time counting posts. I mean, who gives a shit how many posts are posted?

FTR, you have a right to free speech, but not to a cooperative or appreciative audience. The students who shout down RW campus speakers are exercising their own rights, and not in any sense curtailing the speakers'. It's amazing how many Liticons seem to overlook, or even deny, that crucial distinction.

I dunno, but a lot of Litsters on all sides seem to bring it up for some reason.

perhaps because they don't understand the concept?

Of numbered posting, or free speech?

They simply cannot abide criticism.

It hurts their feelings.

I was gonna go with general lack of perspicacity. But hurt feelings works, too.

Convicted felon and right wing hero Dinesh D'Souza disagrees.

Why do liberals turn into a torch bearing internet lynch mob and try to ruin the life and career of anyone who says something they disagree with? Seems like that's curtailing of freedom of speech.

In what way? What does that have to do with freedom of speech?

Like if we accept this as true on it's face, what would it have to do with freedom of speech?

It's enormous good fun!

Also, Tiki never put out press releases to distance themselves from us.

Not a great metaphore... when actual torch companies are like, "By the way, we do NOT support alt-right terrorist using Tiki brand torches during their torch mobs."

Like... that's a thing that happened. In reality. The company that made the torches used in the mob wanted to make sure people knew they didn't support them.

That's not a joke. That's just the world we live in.
