Rogan promoted the conspiracy theory that Epps was an “agent provocateur” for the feds, a baseless claim that has led to a defamation suit against Fox News.

    I can’t believe people really support restricting free speech, it blows my mind. Is it a generational thing?

    Im going to go out on a limb and guess you’re not a minority.

    Because when people use their “free speech” to harass you and make your like worse, then worshiping the bastardised idea of “free speech” suddenly isnt very appealing.

      Well that would be harassment, which I wouldn’t support. In fact, yeah, that should be illegal. But the right of people to say stupid stuff, you know… I may not agree with what you have to say, etc.

        Okay, but then the question becomes: If harassment should be illegal then should a call for other people to harass someone be illegal?

        Then if you say yes to that the question then becomes: should a thinly veiled call to harass someone be illegal?

        Then if you agree with that, you have to draw a line about how obvious a dog whistle needs to be.
