The left is having a meltdown.

Yup, that is free speech. You are also free to block those idiots so you don't have to see it.

Well then, it’s my freedom of speech to say that I hope you’re mercilessly beaten in an alleyway by Antifa.

Feel free to block me if that offends you.

You really do not know what freedom of speech is and isn't. How sad for our education system.

Direct threats of violence are not protected by freedom of speech. Threats are defined by law as Assault, an "attempt or threat to cause bodily injury or to direct another to cause bodily harm".

However, since you're a soy boy, I am neither offended nor afraid. Nice try though.

It was not a direct threat. I said I HOPE you get beaten in an alleyway by Antifa. I never said anything about walking up to your house with my Antifa buddies and doing it myself.

My statement of ill will towards you has about as much of a chance of manifesting into actual real world violence as the Internet Nazis currently spamming racial slurs and hateful rhetoric all over Twitter right now if not less. If you’re okay with them and not with me, you’re a f**kin nazi. End of.

I am not ok with anybody spouting hate or stupid slurs.

However, I don't want them censored. I want to know who the idiots are so I can avoid them and hope they go away when nobody pays them any attention.

Kinda like how I wish you would just go away, but alas, like them, you probably won't either.

"I am not okay with spouting hateful slurs, but I'm not gonna support any practical method of stopping them" is all I'm hearing.

Yup, now you got it.

While I may not like something somebody says, I will not do anything to impair their right to say stupid or hateful things.

I will invoke my right to ignore them, block them, and sometimes, like now, I will debate them.

In the U.S. the right to freedom of speech is sacrosanct, provided it doesn't break the law.

There are a few forms of speech that are illegal, but hateful slurs that don't call for direct violence aren't one of them. Hurting your feelings is not violence.

well duh. "Hurting your feelings" is liberal bullshit. The reason, why America went, woke. All because some snowflakes could not handle mean tweets from 2017-2021 XD

Yeah, it was totally because of "mean tweets" and not for any other reason.

If there are 15 good hearted, well meaning conservatives sitting at a table who refuse to get rid of the one nazi sitting next to them, you have 16 Nazis.

So if there are 15 good-hearted liberals sitting at a table who refuse to get rid of the one pedophile sitting next to them, you have 16 pedophiles?

What a stupid analogy.

Do you even know what the NAZI party stood for?

What has this got to do with free speech?

I agree with you in the sense that anyone who's friends with a known abuser of children should be ruthlessly scrutinized until their innocence is proven beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Speaking of which:
