Just remember that you are ok with them censoring speech when they turn pro trans speech illegal.
Jesus Christ, adults can draw lines and supporting a racist traitor regime is an easy bright line.
Don't be a fucking child.
Do you trust your enemies with the power to censor you?
Because that will be used against you
Booooo. Scaaaaaaary wooooords. Now do nothing ever for any reason.
^this is you.
If my enemies need to be reminded what feeds the Tree of Liberty then that's just fine.
Ok, you are entitled to your own opinion. 😊
You know they already do, right? There is speech that is not protected by 1A. As a society, we can clearly set those rules without doing a slippery slope (which for the record is a fallacy and not a poignant argument).
how does being pro trans imply hate?
It doesn’t in any way… to us.
Do you want to give that gun to someone else and trust them to do right?
"Pro trans speech" is in no way racist.
You’re 100% correct.
Now do you want to hand your enemies that tool and trust that they won’t misuse it?
How do you misuse a "tool" that specifically bans racist speech?
Why hasn't this "tool" been misused in Germany?
You define criticism of Israel as antisemitic like they have in parts of Europe.
You know what, touché salesman.
I don’t trust America not to find a way to twist it and use it against other speech though.
Germany has a real strong “No more Nazis” thing going after what happened to it.
They’re using that to continue to support Israel killing Palestinian children though so I would say that the sentiment behind those laws is already being used in a bad way.
I did just have this thought though so feel free to tear into it.
