When conservatives whine at you like this, just remind them that they are in a cult. When they get mad at you, accuse them if 'censoring' your free speech.

What's the point of these imaginary conversations?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 minutes ago* (last edited 2 minutes ago)

It is a rhetorical device. Do you really need that explained or are you just employing one of your own by pretending to be obtuse?

(Actual conversation)

Freedom loving conservative™: Speak your mind its your right to say things even if it offends people

Me: The 50k dead Palestinian civilians won't bring back the dead Israelis from Oct 7th

Freedom loving conservative™: HOW DARE YOU, YOU ARE A TERRORIST SYMPATHISER AND YOU DESERVE TO BE DEPORTED, THAT SORT OF SPEECH SHOULD BE BANNED

I don't want push back when I speak!

some people misinterpret "freedom of speech" meaning universal freedom of speech. all it mandates is that the government isn't going to punish you for saying shit. It does not protect a person if other people punish them for saying shit.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

You also aren’t entitled to a platform. A website not letting you post something isn’t about “freedom of speech.”

[–] [email protected] 51 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Another way to say that is: Freedom of speech isn't freedom from consequences your speech elicits in others.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 hours ago

Freedom from government censorship, not freedom from societal shame.

I have written a memorandum that punching of nazis shall not be prosecuted if the person punching a Nazi is a sitting anyone.

I have also decreed that, by the laws of there no longer being laws, you may also slap, kick, purple nurple, spit on, or cause them to cry for mommy in any way seen fit in the process of de-nazification

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago

My bet is it's a trick to justify themselves to their dumbass fanbase later on. "They censored us for years, now we're in power it's only fair that we get to arrest people who criticize us!"

You mean crazy, hateful, transphobic racist ones?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Why are you being so divisive?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 hours ago

I'm just going to assume this is sarcasm, because otherwise, my hope in humanity starts wavering

Let's see, the conservative Christian right just voted in a nasacistic tyrant twice. They want to declare America as a Christian country. They want to abolish the separation of church and state. They want to teach creationism in schools. They want LGBT to register as sex offenders. They want to remove books from schools and libraries they don't like. They want to immediately execute every death row inmate. I'm not sure why I'm pissed at conservatives.

They want to abolish the separation of ~~church~~ Christianity and state.

FTFY

Watch how quick they backslide when a group supporting Islam or even Church of Satan ask for their dogma to be back by the force of law.

Really sounds like they want to make USA a region of russia.

Yeah this isn't even going to be close to reality in about two months.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 11 hours ago (3 children)

It isn’t now. Go watch a science video on Facebook and read the comments. Every time I report all the idiots, and every time Meta decides not to remove the blatantly hateful, false information.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 hours ago

dude I keep forgetting Facebook exists until someone talks about it in present tense and it gives me a little surprise. it's like someone saying they looked something up on askjeeves

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 hours ago

I don't use Facebook but I find that on YouTube people will spout blatantly awful bigoted takes and any kind of response I make, no matter how much I try to clean up the language, will get shadow deleted

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

I don't have a facebook account for that and a myriad of other reasons. But I agree I am lagging culturally because of it. I'm sorry that I get that way on here when I get all wound up.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago

No, you’re fine, I was trying to illustrate that it’s already, and has been happening for quite some time. I wouldn’t be on Facebook at all if it weren’t for my family. I absolutely detest what sort of drivel is allowed to be posted there.

Gusanos: Fidel took away my freedom to own slaves!

[–] [email protected] -4 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

You mean stuff like "we should deport illegal immigrants" and "abortion is murder"

Because conservatives aren't really afraid to say them. At worst, he's just trying to avoid another ban.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

They aren't afraid to say "your body my choice" and "repeal the 19th" nowadays either

[–] [email protected] -5 points 55 minutes ago

That's extreme, and not part of the right.
