I swear to whatever that these stupid fuckers always bitching about muh Freedom of Speech never made it through HS gov't class.
You’ve got to understand the audience he’s talking to and the effect he’s trying to have. It’s not a legal claim being made in a legal setting and he knows it. Instead, he’s talking to people who are motivated by outrage. It’s incredibly disingenuous and I think you stop behavior like this just by talking away the benefit he has by acting this way. So let him be irrelevant and drown him out! If no one hears they aren’t going to get outraged.
The thing they forget, yes you can always say anything you want. Nobody is going to kill you for it. That's the line. The government itself will be mailable to conforming the status quo. The government won't pick sides on your speech.
That's all. Society and the legal system dominate the rest.
Fuck around and find out is the name of the game. People who want to find the boundaries are fair game IMO
