"I'm fully ok with people I don't agree with stating their opinions. It's only when they want to spew hatred and actually do damage with their speech that I don't like. Free speech is totally fine, but hate speech and slander are not. I don't like when people that have the same opinion as me spew hate and lies either. Hate and lies have nothing to do with being free. At that point you are trying to restrict other people from being free.", we also have hate speech restriction laws in Norway. I don't agree with them, because they are specially carved out exemptions that was meant to protect vulnerable minorities, however they can also be applied to benefit the 1%, and they will. There are probably already examples of this.
"Hate and lies have nothing to do with being free.", here you are putting hate and lies in the same boat. I have already expressed a pushback against hate. Lies are nothing new. Lies have been printed in newspapers as fact for many many years. Politicians has been lying 'since the dawn of time'. The number one source for mis- and dis-information (unintentional and intentional lying) is the government, number two is the legacy media, and far far behind is twitter, facebook, tiktok, youtube, rumble and such.
Who do you think decides what are lies? The government and the cia (twitterfiles supplied the receipts for this) They censored everything they didn't like under the guise of "malinformation".
"I was the first person censored by the Biden administration. They had to invent a new word called 'malinformation'… Malinformation is information that is true but is inconvenient to the government!" - RFK jr.
I'll finish with a quote:
"We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." - William Casey, CIA Director 1981-1987
"You can be a strong proponent of free speech and support stronger regulation and penalties for legitimately dangerous speech." This is an oxymoron. If you support stronger regulation and penalties for legitimately dangerous speech, then my question to you would be; Dangerous to whom?
My guess is you will say minorities. Remember, the 1% is a minority too. They will use all these specially carved out protections for themselves, when time comes.
Also if you think misinformation, the biggest source for misinformation is the governments, number two is the legacy media. Far, far behind are posts on twitter, facebook, tiktok, youtube, rumble.
"I don't see a lot of left wingers coming out against free speech", well this is because it's easy to say you are for free speech, it's harder to defend it in a room full of people not agreeing with unpopular speech. If you only defend speech that is easy to defend then it's not principled, it's just a hobby.
"but I see a lot of right wingers dehumanizing others and directly calling for violence, then trying to pretend that's free speech", dehumanization of others is never a good look, but since they were allowed to express themselves, you know better where they stand, and not to support them. If they were censored, you wouldn't know their stance.
"directly calling for violence, then trying to pretend that's free speech", how did Bernie start all his speeches? "Are you ready for a revolution?", that revolution never came because he was never ready for a violent revolution. He had the protection to say it, but he never did. He's been in politics for too long, and knows the consequences for those words.
I will fight for the right of anyone to say those words, because a revolution might turn violent, and not being allowed to talk about it freely is nonsensical.
Free speech used to be a left wing key-stone. Why? Because left wing is all policy that benefits the 99%. How can masses organize without free speech? You can't, that's why the 1% (owner class) has tried everything for decades to stifle it. They are gradually succeeding, because todays 'left wing' commentary aren't for free speech. You are for free speech if you are willing to fight for all speech, even the speech you don't like, and only then are you for free speech. It is that simple, and still so many don't get it...
stratistimes.com isn't korean. The journalists used scare quotes, like the koreans are crazy, they're not crazy. But I personally don't trust samsung either, usa favours them too much. Something doesn't smell right.
If you go to Starbucks and there’s WI-FI credentials on the wall, are you not supposed to use it without permission? This is what he did, just different publicly available credentials. Yes, the radio guys posted them by accident, but it's their job to inform about the fuck-up, so fox can remedy it. Nothing about this is the journalist's fault. He is just doing his job. Finding material the owner-class don't want published, then publishing it.
I'm talking about the people going after Trump. Ofcourse you don't ignore criminal acts, but you would do wisely to focus on the acts that have strong evidence / clear illegal acts.
To me, it looks like they charge him with lots of small things and hope he messes up in the courts to get him on a technicality...
Ok then. Where in this article does it say that he even tried to legislate?
