There Is No Such Thing As "Hate" Speech

Hear, Hear! Oh woken ones. You too can get over a hyper sensitive emotional reaction to everyday life and it will be much easier than trying to make the world a Cacoon for your feelings

Hate speech does in fact exist, to the point it has a dictionary definition

So you have started right out the gate being at odds with reality

I will get around to exploring the more interesting ways in which your argument is wrong later

Take your time. Years even.

For my next trick, I will explain a logical step often missed by conservatives.

You do realize that principles of free speech mean that you cannot compel anyone else to air your viewpoints, right? At least when it comes to private platforms, like television channels, periodicals, and indeed: websites!

ImgFlip, even!

That’s right: Platforms have free speech rights, too! Which means they get to say what they want and publish what they want.

And in practice, they exercise those rights to cater to their audience.

Indeed, that’s exactly what we see these days: ideological policing on platforms Left and Right. Why would Breitbart publish a guest column by Paul Krugman or Ta-Nehisi Coates? They wouldn’t.

But thanks to the internet, we have a zillion platforms in this day and age so anyone can find a way to get their word out, even if the word you are bringing is a desire to ethnically cleanse all black people from America (take your ass to Stormfront).

About the only person in the world who has to sit there and let you spout your hateful nonsense without objection is this poor schmuck who mans the C-SPAN call-in lines, because C-SPAN is publicly funded.

Even then, said poor schmuck would probably cut your phone line if you started shouting the N-word into the receiver, preferring to take his chances with a lawsuit brought by little old you rather than a civil rights lawsuit brought by the NAACP.

So, if you really want unfettered free speech rights, I suggest you make yourself rich enough to set up your own platform, where you can publish whatever the hell you want, subject as always to generally applicable civil and criminal law.

Hope this helps

An actual example of this fallacy, as it is grounded solely in the uninformed opinions of

Free speech is exactly what it says, it’s not hard there is no secret code that needs to be deciphered by you or any King of wokeness.

Wow, that's a strawman screed that's impressive even for you.

There's a reason the 1st amendment was the FIRST amendment.

Hope that helps

Hate speech is a woke term that confirms your brainwashing.

BAM!!!!

1980 - Sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me

2010 - WORDS IS VIOLENCE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Thanks commie cocksuckers!

Your rage is pretty evident, like a Howler monkey when someone takes away its poo.

You have a vastly overinflated opinion of yourself.

Are you drunk? Bleach? Drano? Liquid Plumr? Whatever you're drinking, you need to put it down. It's clearly doing a number on your brain...er, whatever's left of it. Did you have a stroke while making that, Arnnatz?

Gotta love imgflip. It's a magnet for the mentally unstable. Big down vote.
