I CAN'T SAY WHATEVER I WANT says man who constantly says whatever he wants

[–] [email protected] 99 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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] 74 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

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

I don't want push back when I speak!

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!"

(Actual conversation)

Freedom loving conservative™: Speak your mind it's 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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Honestly, hardly anyone I know IRL knows specifics about Israel and Palestine.

You mean crazy, hateful, transphobic racist ones?

Why are you being so divisive?

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.

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

Trump loves Putin

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Go further than that, tell them they're mindless sheep, that they're cucks to the ruling class, that they fall in line to whoever makes them feel good and don't have an independant bone in their body. Remind them that Trump had 4 years with full control and accomplished zero of his promises, and that they're idiots for falling for the same trick. Remind them that they're the loud, stupid, obnoxious ones who have to be placated by the world or they throw a tantrum. Tell them when Trump dies nobody will remember the people who supported him and nobody will help his followers when they're in trouble.

Seriously, we have to take gloves off and find ways to hurt them on a deeply personal level. Because we should have been doing this from the start. Because it's all they really understand.

I told a former schoolmate that he was acting like a snowflake and he lost his freaking mind. I expected it to bug him but holy crap.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago (2 children)

This is what I wish more people on the left understood, that they are GIVING us their vulnerabilities every time they open their mouth and we're ignoring every opportunity.

I can cite so many examples of this. Like, you can literally just call them the thing they hate and it will set them off to a degree that I think would startle most non-conservatives.

It's because to normal, well-adjusted, adult humans, being called a "cuck" by a stranger is just funny, it's like being "booed" by a stranger, it's more weird than anything personal or offensive. But the reason he's using that word against you is because he himself is deeply, profoundly sensitive to the word and all it implies.

They get massively triggered by specific words, and the left is always overthinking it, trying to come up with "smart" ways to fight and debate. When all you have to do is call them "weak sissies with no chin too dumb to know how voting works" and you will make their faces melt in rage, they will literally think about it all day. It doesn't even matter if it's accurate, and it certainly doesn't matter if someone on "your side" thinks it's problematic to use gendered slurs or ableism. It's time to start twisting the knives out there.

Fasten your seatbelts. We enter the Hard R Zone.

Not as enjoyable as the Twilight Zone.

This is a very 2002 take.

Modern Conservatives just scream the N-word at the top of their lungs

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

Nah. We're not totally there yet.

A lot of them still need to dehumanize others by saying they eat pets first, pretend they're criminals and make them enemies by claiming they're stealing jobs

Over time, it will become normalised and an entire new generation of f wits will emerge

Me: Oh no censored by the state?

Con: uhm no a post was hidden on a social media website

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

It's even sadder than that honestly, it's actually "I suspect that my post wasn't recommended as hard as it could have been"

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 month ago (4 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] 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

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] 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month 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.

This isn't even a joke. There's pretty much a caller on LBC saying this word for word
