@Sage @p @Wehrmacht idk who your talking to, but freedom of speech is not worthy of defending because it's meaningless. That would be a ridiculous position.

Freedom of speech is worth defending because it's the only way we have to convey ideas and subject theories to scrutiny prior to implementing them. In this conception, it is not an inherent contradiction to draw a distinction between speech that is ephemeral and speech that seeks to act on the world. Though I still oppose restrictions on the latter, due to the fact that they're always used to restrict the former.

the famous "fire in a crowded theater" exception to the first amendment was in fact a ruling against a jahova's witness who was distributing anti-war leaflets, not a ruling about a madman trying to create a panic in a theater.

@fuzzyrodent85 welcome to fedi. Pick up your anime avatar and designated catboy in the line to your right.

imagine being a horny libertarian techbro on here constantly frustrated that all the hot girls are gay communists

@MilquetoastQT Probably I'll just start doing meth and never sleep again, that'll work.

I don’t even see how calls for violence are illegal tbqh. Speech and action are two separate entities or they aren’t. The yelling fire in a crowded theatre argument is particularly archaic in the age of the internet also.

*I don’t advocate violence

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand a Reddit post. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also OP's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from IFuckingLoveScience literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Reddit truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in OP's post "It's one of many cognitive dissonances people have to accept in order to make themselves believe in the concept of free speech" which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as OP's genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Reddit tattoo. I paid for it with Reddit Gold. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

Tor sites that follow best practices are offline. (Dread, White House, Monopoly, etc)

Procrastinators still using v2 .onions are online. (admittedly... http://dark.fail)

Whoever utters the cliché about "screaming fire in a crowded movie theater" to justify censorship of political speech instantly reveals profound and bottomless ignorance about the First Amendment. Here's @Popehat explaining the idiocy of this platitude: https://www.popehat.com/2012/09/19/three-generations-of-a-hackneyed-apologia-for-censorship-are-enough/ https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1348318917375229954 #Amendment #Greenwald #Pope

Re For years, I heard it's invalid to object to political censorship by FB & Twitter because, if you don't like it, you can just create a competing social media platform.

Parler tried. And in 24 hours, Google, Apple & Amazon united to destroy it.

That's what monopoly power means. https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1348320646443528201 #Amazon #Google #Greenwald
