Banning speech opens the door to imprisonment for unacceptable thought. There is no greater tyranny and we are on the cusp.

It’s not just young people, there are posters here on FR that don’t like comments that offend their sensibilites.

If we do not act now to counter this, by whatever means necessary, then the US will slide into Fascism.

People have a right to object to what you say. Putting someone in jail for it is another thing.

What the hell is microaggression? People keep talking about it but I have no idea what it is. Just a teeny tiny bit of aggression? Where does it cross to being macroaggression?

Forty percent of millennials support government censorship of speech offensive to minority groups, according to a survey released FridayIt doesn't matter if 100% of the idiotic self-absorbed narcissistic incompetent (live in their parents basements much?) twits think it should be banned. The founding fathers in their wisdom put the 1st amendment in place for just such nitwits.

They are of a generation that cannot think. They are not able to extrapolate that by banning certain words and expressions, other words and expressions will continue to be added until even the most innocuous language, if it offends just one sensibility, will be forbidden.
This will continue until their minds are leached of any ability to express anything other the barren landscape of a expunged culture.
Of course, that is the point.

Actions that are harmful are already unlawful.
Those that are “harmed” by what others say need to strengthen themselves, ignore that talk, and set and pursue goals that will improve their lives. America is the best place in the world to do that.
