If you want to control speech you’re no better than maga. I dont care what kind of excuses or justifications you come up with. You and all the other authoritarians can fuck off.

Lol. Fuck no. I’m an authoritarian for disagreeing with the logic that brought us citizens fucking United?
Man, Lemmy is remarkable today.

I can do much worse. I also don’t believe that the building a business is housed in does not deserve free speech.
