Here’s the thing. I used to think freedom of speech was a good idea. Then I saw the rise of fascism in the U.S., saw how close to genocide we are, and saw those same Nazis were establishing the very authoritarian government the Constitition claimed to prevent with its own tenets like freedom of speech, and realized preventing tyranny is not as simple as that.
The Nazis you’re protecting already are in office and defining acceptable speech, like Florida, where one of your own is having LGBTQ+ books banned outright.
If this was about freedom of speech, you’d be calling for the Nazis to be banned on those grounds, yet here we are.
With you defending your brothers exploiting our greater understanding of social dynamics to subjugate and kill us all.
Here, I’ll prove it to you. Answer this question honestly, no vagueries, something specific, quantifiable and easy for other people to determine:
What words could we say to you right now to convince you to stop commenting in the thread and go away silently?
God I’m so tired the wannabe tyrants on lemmy. Y’all do realize you’d wouldn’t be in the party, right? At best you’d be ignored and working in some sweatshop, and worst you’d be against the wall.
And don’t think I didn’t notice the casual white washing of Nazis, you anti-Semite.

Don’t worry, I’m more than willing to just go.
In other words you actually are just here in bad faith. But we already knew that.
Well shit, I wish it was that easy in the real world.
