i hate to say it but.....it's true

I’m really not meaning this in a rude way but I’m still Not understanding how any of this makes you lose your rights? Inciting violence is already against the law. People already go to prison for hurting other people. It’s not realistic in any civilized society.

: how does everyone feel about the tiktok ban? Everyone at work is freaking out about it. I’m not really upset or Oxford excited about it either. I wonder if Trump will do anything about it? The most normal I’ve ever heard him speak was when asked about the TikTok ban the other day
-
you have all the same concerns I do about the whole ordeal but explained it way better than I could so thank you for sharing this.

I’m honestly confused on how limiting speech limits your rights? Like I’m actually confused on this. Which has always been so wild to me because Trump hasn’t shut up about vaccines, and taking them, since Covid started. The rich are only gonna get richer and the middle class is going to keep disappearing. It’s a sad reality and I just have no idea what anyone can do to stop it

Because if you limit theirs you limit your own. It means you can’t call them bigots, nazis, etc.even if they are.

I think we’re talking about speech as a whole it sounds like. Elle can run her website however she wants
-
How does this have anything to do with trans rights? Everyone agrees that they deserve the same rights as anyone else
-
I think we all can agree that these people suck and no one supports them limiting speech either.
-
My husband and I are both bi. We have many friends in the lgbtq community and many democratic friends and not a single person supports limiting free speech either. IMO I feel like it’s only the people who spend majority of their time online who want to limit speech. So you just wanted limited speech from people who disagree with you.

Protecting free speech has nothing to do with the constitution. They want it in other countries too. cruel people are going to be cruel whether they’re on the internet or not. i agree that there isn’t anything fun about being cruel and mean. I was bullied all through my childhood. It sucks. It’s evil. I think people with hateful opinions are shit people. do I think I have a right to control what they put on the internet? No. Most people on the internet arent psychos like Alex Jones who start weird mobs of dick heads who have zero common sense.

You don’t have the freedom to physically hurt someone. Hurting feelings is literally not the same thing.
-
taking away the right to free speech is the first step of the government having full control over every aspect of your life. no one should have the right to control what you say. if someone wants to be a bully they’re a shitty ass person. And guess what? In a world where there’s no free speech, you can’t call someone a shitty ass person when they’re being one because it would be considered hate speech. Someone saying a slur or a bad word is shitty, but it’s not criminal.it is not calling for your death. Controlling speech will not give someone empathy.
-
You realize that the people you want to defend commit the same behavior tho right? and for the record, I’m not defending anyone. I’m defending the right to say whatever I want as long as I’m not insinuating violence. Hurting feelings isn’t insinuating violence. Neither is calling people names, etc.
-
Hurting someone’s feelings isn’t hate speech. No one is required to manage YOUR emotions. if someone is rude to you, bullying you, that’s shitty, but people can say what they want. I think this argument is so wild because if someone is cruel to someone without a leftist worldview, then it’s fine; but being hateful to a leftist isn’t allowed. You can’t stop people from hurting your feelings.
