If Free-Speech falls, we're in trouble

Of course nazis exist, but who cares? They aren’t a sizable group. Your focus of evil seems limited to one political leaning.

Well one man with a weapon isn't a sizeable group but then if the man decide to use that weapon in a crowd, it can do a lot of damage.

Violence can erupt from all political side but generally, the inclusive left who want to keep the migrants and who want to take your guns is well, you know, friendly and unarmed and the majority of terrorist attacks in the US -designated terrorist, not mass shooters- are far right ideologues and the majority of the mass shooters also are so claiming both side are the same isn't an accurate depiction.

oh the left won and they put in universal healthcare and gave trans people some rights oh no I am against that!
oh the right won and are now taking women's right away, deporting migrants and expanding the for-profit prison complex and expanding the military budget in preparation for war.

very much the same token, uh.

back to the topic at hand: I can say whatever I want and do not go to prison for that and this is effectively free speech.

It is not under attack.
What is under attack is being able to say the most awful things without repercussion.

We got phones, we got screenshots, we got everything to hold you accountable for your words and action and people do not like that very much.

I disagree, both democrats and republicans alike would like to limit our free speech by creating laws that give them the power to moderate it online.

content being moderated online, which is not a public good and ask yourself why that is, doesn't impede your ability to free speech, except to block it online, on a privately owned platform but you can still voice all of these things out loud without fear of arrest or reprisal by your government.

Are you allowed to discuss politics at work? Can you express your opinion, at work?
Can you bring a big political sign through disney world gate? trick question: can you burn your draft paper in protest?
why are you concerned about this, then?

and why aren't you concerned that there are no public places to discuss, anymore: only shops and private companies. Europeans have plazas, huge sidewalk, parks to gather in for FREE and you have facebook so obviously, I understand why you are concerned because the only place where you can voice your opinion and have public discussion about a variety of topic is under the thumb of a privately owned company who can moderate you and it feels more wrong than capitalism stealing all our avenues of public speaking. I get that.
But please tell me how me going to your place and cussing in front of your child and you asking me if I can stop cussing in front of your child is preventing my free speech.
I am in your home, this is your castle, your rules.
I am welcome to say that you *cuss word* outside of your home and there's nothing you'll be able to do, then.

Imagine this douche of an idea back around 2000.. "I got snaps of you on a messageboard.. you know, on the Internet that no one will take serious."

Hit the door, cellphone twerp.

Yep; you and everyone else with a cell phone camera are a Karen. Men used to hit each other as hard as they could, tire out, then grab a beer after and laugh about it. You new age pussies can’t throw a punch but can probably take a dick BIGLY. Have fun holding your peers “accountable,” as if you can objectively determine what is right and wrong. You don’t realize this, but your wrongheaded authoritarianism is as damaging, long term, as Marjorie Taylor green being an utter dumb fuck. Get over yourself, if someone offends you ask your mother why she didn’t make you strong enough to withstand words. The rest of us will be out here working to fund your stimulus checks. That’s how dad did it. That’s how America does it
