  • This isn't one of those instances where freedom of speech is allowed.

    I love how you just reiterated your erroneous point verbatim without clarification.

    Be respectful of others.

    Not sure what that has to do with this discussion or my comment.

    Gonna ignore you now since you don't have an answer to my question.

    1. I have answered your question in a top level comment; your not liking the answer doesn't mean I haven't answered.
    2. That's your right as much as it's my right to answer your question as I see fit or to point out the dichotomy of your actions and words.

    It seems you don't actually know what freedom of speech is.

    Freedom of speech means the government can't get you in trouble for what you say.

    Freedom of speech does not mean what you have to say is valuable, relevant, or required to be protected, platformed, or promoted by private capital or individuals. Lemmy instances by and large are not products of governments used to curtail your right to say what you want--they're private entities who's own freedom of speech and association allow them to make a determination about whether you're an acceptable entity to keep around.

    If you think you're an acceptable entity to keep around when no one else does, feel free to start your own instance.

  • Perhaps you should rephrase your post then to indicate you're actually interested in bigotry affirming instances instead of instances that refrain from being a government entity that controls expression.

    They are different.

  • Pretty much any Lemmy instances I suspect supports freedom of speech. There's not really any evidence that admins are colluding with the feds to control what you say.

    What may be happening is admins deciding of their own volition to not platform certain types of comments. Notably that doesn't stop you or anyone else from saying whatever; it just means you gotta do it somewhere else, like your own instance.

  • Something being vital to your security doesn't make it yours. It may also be vital to Denmark's or Europe as a whole's security.

    Maybe if you were nice to them they'll let you continue using your military base up there without having to go to war with all the rest of NATO.

  • Trump framed the actions as necessary to ensure the US has “the most lethal fighting force in the world”.

    When Harris said that people freaked the absolute fuck out. But now he's building the most lethal force by reinstating a bunch of people that refused to get vaccinated thereby being more liable to fall ill to common diseases.

  • I believe they just freshly painted a pole that was formerly graffitied. They're joking about the inevitability of some drunk with a silver sharpie drawing anatomy on the pillar soon.

  • Why don't these kinda articles include the thing being talked about? I don't want to know what an American thinks about denouncing Nazis; I want to know what was so egregious in the original resolution that America felt it was better to side with the Nazis.

    Edit: Here's the damn resolution. there's no valid reason to oppose it. First of all it's not legally binding, second it's pretty much just 75ish different ways of saying "member states should oppose Nazis cause Nazis are bad, 'm-kay." Honestly just seems like the US opposed it cause it was introduced by Russia and was thus "political."

    We condemn without reservation all forms of religious and ethnic intolerance or hatred at home and around the world Deputy U.S. Representative to the Economic and Social Council, Stefanie Amadeo

    Obviously not given that you just voted against a resolution that did exactly that.
