Free Speech

I experienced a similar thing -sortof- after I migrated to a CommonWealth country. Former brittish colonies are much more traditionalist and brittish than the brits., so they're very careful about and sanction (informally) any form of non PC or rude talk.

It's great in a way, because everybody is considerate and you don't have random people being rude and insulting you in your face, like in other countries,
But it makes it harder to detect or deal with their own bigots and h8ers, who adapt and become much more cunning and manipulative (ie they often use the PCnness against their targets).
 
at LIT it has died 2 yrs ago

thats when I kept being BANNED.....based on EXACTLY what the DUMZ do, EXACTLY!
 
The concept of freedom of speech is unique to America; most places have limitations.

Why is it that people who insist that the First Amendment requires the church to stay well away from and out of state business,even though no such thing is said or implied, seem to think that the freedom of speech portion is somehow fungible?

I dunno, ask our incoming president. He wants to replace it with law suits and loss of citizenship. Oh, and a year in jail.
 
Lefties want to curtail a free press

Among a large number of other rights they would like shit all over.

In the name of the greater good of course. Always in the name of the greater good.

and use something proscribed by the constitution to punish people for doing something permitted by the constitution? :confused:

Maybe.....idk.

But he wants to used the government to force his bullshit.

He has no interest in preserving liberty or individual rights of any kind as far as I can tell.

Sounds like a lefty, wants to regulate like a lefty.

If he hated white people and the USA he'd be a democrat hero.....but he's a nationalist and doesn't hate white people so he's a Republican.

But he's no fan of limited government or liberty and certainly not conservative economically, politically or socially.

You still don't get it that with that tweet he was mocking Hillary. Hillary was the one who had co-sponsored an actual bill forbidding flag burning.
 
You have some examples of their efforts to curtail a free press?

From Chinas great firewall to Venezuelan media black outs one of the first things the left does going all the way back to the beginnings of Soviet Russia is control the media.

That's socialism step one, gubbmint control of the media.

The left has ALWAYS seen free press and free speech as the enemy.

They have to silence opposing views to protect the ideology.

In western Europe is has manifested as bans on "hate speech" which is just a made up term lefties used to describe shit they don't want to hear and certainly don't want others hearing.

In the US it's all over our campuses, the free media/speech bias is so fucking blatant there and recently the left wing media has been pushing the idea that 1A doesn't cover hate speech either. Following in their eurotrash buddies footsteps.

And there are more examples of the left trying to get "hate shows" like Ben Shapiro, Milo Yiannopoulos, INfoWarz and other RW talking heads/shows shut down or cut off because "hate speech" shouldn't be allowed.

If you care to look or watch any of the thousands of videos of this on youtube.

Ah, but you mistake the assumption built into his question. That the "free press" is anyone in the legacy media granted press badges by the powers that be. A guy with a youtube channel isn't press and is not afforded protection if he is found by the powers that be to be full of hate.

I think you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone under 30 who does not believe that hate speech is an actual separate and distinct thing from speech.

If that be the case it would just be another example of lefts censorship in the form of typical lefty elitism.

Facts don't care about popular opinion so it sucks for generation snowflake.

Generation snowflake is well and truly indoctrinated and at some point they're actually going to be in charge.

Then again, a comet might approach causing them cut off their 'nads and drink the Koolaid so they can catch a ride on the mother ship.

:D ;) :cool:

It was asinine then and it is today.
FYI, the bill she co-sponsored didn't include loss of citizenship, and he's still promoting it, so your claim is, as usual, bull shit.

You sure like ascription.
That's exactly why I don't support shutting down Alex Jones, Brietbart, Sean Hannity, the 700 Club or the countless other nutjob sites. Because I think it only applies to legacy media.
Though I expect Alex Jones will have a press badge, so he's safe from your ascription.

As for Youtube, they are perfectly free to delete any videos they want since they aren't run by the government.
Some videos they are required to remove due to the DMCA.
There are probably others they are required by law to remove, like national security related videos.

Thankfully they are a relative minority and have at least another 20 years to grow up.

They can't stay in their safe spaces forever.

Eventually that wolf is going to huff, and puff and fuck them up the ass.
