The concept of free speech is being intentionally misused by right wing trolls, it doesn't mean "you can say anything without consequences". It means "you can't to jail for saying stuff", but depending on what you said, there's cases where you should definitely be ridiculed, banned or punched for it.

IMO the USA's "no exceptions to free speech" approach is a big mistake.

Hate speech shouldn't be free speech, because people's rights to not be attacked for no reason should override bigots' rights to say whatever garbage they think.

Dangerous misinformation shouldn't be free speech. Without all of the COVID denialist conspiracies the pandemic could've ended a year sooner and avoided millions of pointless deaths

Also worth remembering that the echo chambers that scream non stop about FREEZEPEACH don't actually have any. Try disagreeing with anything in r/conservative and you'll get an instant ban

Makes more sense than "war on drugs" and "war on terror"

Ok, and how does your way of thinking fix being stuck 2 party system where nothing ever changes and the rich get richer?

If you have a realistic plan for sistemic change sign me up, otherwise the only option we have in this pathetic excuse for a democracy is to keep voting for the lesser evil and against the fascists

That sounds worse than a complete AI art ban. If you're an amateur dev with an idea, some programming skill and zero budget, you can't use AI art to make your game look a little better than all the crappy asset flips. But if you're a big studio with a portfolio to train the AI on, you can cut 90% of your art team to use mostly AI. Indie devs lose, artists lose and big corps win, as usual

"No nazi shit" is a simple rule that should be the default on any decent community. That's enough to get rid of the_donald and anything like that that pops up, without slippery slopes or "special rules for one person"
