You have literally no reason to believe any of this other than not wanting to walk back your ignorant statement too far. Explain to me why now is different than 2016? Every protest all the time gets treated like this.

Let’s talk about occupy Wall Street, for instance. Nothing but ridicule.

March for Our Lives, Women’s March, March for Science? “Bougie sign parties” despite insane turnout and momentum.

BLM “burned cities.”

Now? “Wahhhh they’re inconveniencing people” which as I mentioned we heard during civil rights.

You are part of the problem. You will never take a protest seriously because you will always find some reason to say “they’re doing it wrong.” Wake the fuck up dude. Stop tearing down the people who are actually doing something. What the hell did you do while they were out there on the streets? Come online and fucking bitch about it?

Playtime is over. Get off the bench and get with the fucking program or get out of the way.

Many of them are actually pretty passionate about their work so unfortunately they will always be exploited because capitalism punishes people who do something they care about or otherwise enjoy.

Sit-in’s and the like were some of the most effective displays of the civil rights era and they inconvenienced all kinds of citizens. You think those were a bad idea too?

We apologize for the inconvenience 🙄

Jfc this is the fault of republicans. It’s not always both sides.

Yet you continue to associate with me after saying you want me to go away. “The power is YOURS!”

(Also it’s in very poor taste to attack someone’s cognitive ability - frankly it’s just ableist)

When did I say anything like that…?

If you’re not going to bother responding substantively then shut the fuck up about your frozen peaches.

If you want to argue about philosophy then be my guest. The problem is y’all want to have your cake and eat it too, you shift the context depending on which has stronger legs. “Free Speech” is a legal/constitutional issue when it suits you. “Free speech” is a value issue when it suits you.

So is that what you are talking about here? Free speech as a philosophical concept? Because I'm happy to dispel you of any notion that you’re entitled to people’s attention or respect.

You mean the “amazing deal” that is 95% the same as NAFTA lmao

That is not what free speech means. Free speech means the government cannot actively censor you because of the content of your speech. It’s not even illegal to use hate speech in the US. Your free speech is intact.

Do not conflate free speech with freedom from consequences.
