(Actual conversation)
Freedom loving conservative™: Speak your mind its your right to say things even if it offends people
Me: The 50k dead Palestinian civilians won’t bring back the dead Israelis from Oct 7th
Freedom loving conservative™: HOW DARE YOU, YOU ARE A TERRORIST SYMPATHISER AND YOU DESERVE TO BE DEPORTED, THAT SORT OF SPEECH SHOULD BE BANNED
Fasten your seatbelts. We enter the Hard R Zone.
🎶 Highway to the hard R Zone 🎶 Ride into the hard R Zone
Not as enjoyable as the Twilight Zone.
I CAN’T SAY WHATEVER I WANT says man who constantly says whatever he wants
I don’t want push back when I speak!
What he really wants with his freeze peach…
some people misinterpret “freedom of speech” meaning universal freedom of speech. all it mandates is that the government isn’t going to punish you for saying shit. It does not protect a person if other people punish them for saying shit.
You also aren’t entitled to a platform. A website not letting you post something isn’t about “freedom of speech.”
Another way to say that is: Freedom of speech isn’t freedom from consequences your speech elicits in others.
Freedom from government censorship, not freedom from societal shame.
Legalize punching nazis!
I have written a memorandum that punching of nazis shall not be prosecuted if the person punching a Nazi is a sitting anyone.
I have also decreed that, by the laws of there no longer being laws, you may also slap, kick, purple nurple, spit on, or cause them to cry for mommy in any way seen fit in the process of de-nazification
My bet is it’s a trick to justify themselves to their dumbass fanbase later on. “They censored us for years, now we’re in power it’s only fair that we get to arrest people who criticize us!”
Yeah this isn’t even going to be close to reality in about two months.
It isn’t now. Go watch a science video on Facebook and read the comments. Every time I report all the idiots, and every time Meta decides not to remove the blatantly hateful, false information.
dude I keep forgetting Facebook exists until someone talks about it in present tense and it gives me a little surprise. it’s like someone saying they looked something up on askjeeves
I don’t use Facebook but I find that on YouTube people will spout blatantly awful bigoted takes and any kind of response I make, no matter how much I try to clean up the language, will get shadow deleted
I don’t have a facebook account for that and a myriad of other reasons. But I agree I am lagging culturally because of it. I’m sorry that I get that way on here when I get all wound up.
No, you’re fine, I was trying to illustrate that it’s already, and has been happening for quite some time. I wouldn’t be on Facebook at all if it weren’t for my family. I absolutely detest what sort of drivel is allowed to be posted there.
You mean crazy, hateful, transphobic racist ones?
Why are you being so divisive?
I’m just going to assume this is sarcasm, because otherwise, my hope in humanity starts wavering
Let’s see, the conservative Christian right just voted in a nasacistic tyrant twice. They want to declare America as a Christian country. They want to abolish the separation of church and state. They want to teach creationism in schools. They want LGBT to register as sex offenders. They want to remove books from schools and libraries they don’t like. They want to immediately execute every death row inmate. I’m not sure why I’m pissed at conservatives.
They want to abolish the separation of
churchChristianity and state.FTFY
Watch how quick they backslide when a group supporting Islam or even Church of Satan ask for their dogma to be back by the force of law.
They want to abolish the separation of church and state. They want to teach creationism in schools. They want LGBT to register as sex offenders. They want to remove books from schools and libraries they don’t like.
Really sounds like they want to make USA a region of russia.
Trump loves Putin
All humans are equal, some are more equal than others.
Gusanos: Fidel took away my freedom to own slaves!
You mean stuff like “we should deport illegal immigrants” and “abortion is murder”
Because conservatives aren’t really afraid to say them. At worst, he’s just trying to avoid another ban.
They aren’t afraid to say “your body my choice” and “repeal the 19th” nowadays either
Those are actually Libertarian views posing as Conservative views because Conservatism has been taken over by billionaire libertarian think tanks, looking to lower their taxes.
This is a no true Scotsman fallacy. The simple truth is that conservatism always served fascists, it’s just more overt now.
Taken over… a hundred years ago.
