Free speech is OK as long as its not excessive. 🙄

“The way to reverse the trend is with rigid regulation, but the free speech lobby in the United States is as fierce as the gun lobby.”

F@#$ that. Don’t reverse it. Accelerate it.

[ComputerGuy]

...the free speech lobby in the United States is as fierce as the gun lobby...

Count on it.

ahh the left now going full out against the 1st amendment!

A guy who claims that people have too many rights is one who thinks his own are sacrosanct. It doesn't work that way.

William L. Shirer documented what it was like to work under Nazi censorship in his Berlin Diary and Nightmare Years. Had he not cut his sources' names out of the former they would have been arrested, tortured, and either shot or sent to the camps. But at least they wouldn't have suffered from "excessive freedom."

“Excessive free speech”... Not only Chairman Xi, but Soviet dictator Vladimir Putin himself, couldn’t have said it better.

[Thunder90]

The Dems continue to both criticize Russia, then they go ahead and try to emulate it here.

“A guy who claims that people have too many rights is one who thinks his own are sacrosanct.”

The Vanguard of the revolution always think they will live in luxury and total freedom while stomping on the masses.

Eventually they find out that they are destined to be just another fool—a “non person” at the Gulag.

IOW, he's bucking for a job in the Biden administration.

[Chode]

used to be, neighbors would call the cops...

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

Yeah, but now government has to protect the squatter’s rights. If they can’t sleep in my house, they might die of COVID.

[lastchance]

Oh how I long for the day when the peasants knew their place.

Martin Luther is a Hero of The Faith!

[FLT-bird]

Yay Fascism! Maybe the Biden regime will be able to get away with censoring its political opponents after all!

Hopefully SCOTUS will actually make the ruling that is obviously in line with the first amendment and rule that no, the government absolutely may not lean on tech platforms to censor its opponents from telling truths the administration and the globalists find inconvenient.

Yuppers
and Now that they have Absolute Power
They won’t go Easily.

[Libloather]

...content promoting nonsense about the presidential election...

This bothers them.

[spacewarp]

THE SKY IS FALLING!!!! THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SHUT DOWN SPEECH!!!!

I read the first paragraph and knew he was a complete lunatic crackpot.

[Antoninus]

This is a Canadian publication that is kept afloat by Trudeau-Bucks. What they say is the official government line.

[spacewarp]

It was Canada. They’ve already surrendered all their rights to their tyrant.
