Let them try to restrict Free Speech and the USSC will toss their laws out.

California once known as being open is now the Mecca for close minded assholes that want you to be more like China and North Korea and less like the America where everyone enjoys the same rights...

 

[Silent Warrior]

I wonder if they want to restrict BLM or Antifa speech.

 

[TroglocratsRdumb]

Democrat Voters are the same sort of dangerous fanatics who followed despots like Saddam, Osama, Hitler, Mao, Hugo Chavez, Pol Pot, Stalin, Castro.......

The Paradox of Tolerance

“The so-called paradox of freedom is the argument that freedom in the sense of absence of any constraining control must lead to very great restraint, since it makes the bully free to enslave the meek. The idea is, in a slightly different form, and with very different tendency, clearly expressed in Plato.

Less well known is the paradox of tolerance: Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.
— In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant. We should claim that any movement preaching intolerance places itself outside the law, and we should consider incitement to intolerance and persecution as criminal, in the same way as we should consider incitement to murder, or to kidnaping, or to the revival of the slave trade, as criminal.

This is all a natural progression.

First they attacked you for using certain words or having certain opinions.

Next they threatened you for using certain words or having certain opinions.

Next they shut you down/punish you for using certain words or having certain opinions.

Now they're willing to put legal restrictions on the expression of certain opinions.

And all along the way, THEY have been in charge of what those words and opinions are.

These are not liberals. They are leftist authoritarians.

[Mac1958]

Y'know, aside from their blatant disregard for the spirit of freedom of expression, the Regressives have done something else: They have robbed the snowflakes of the ability to debate, to have normal, adult, constructive conversations.

Now, all these kids have to do is shut you down, shout you down or run to a safe space, and they don't have to engage.

That's a fucked up thing to do to a kid.

And will one USMB leftist condemn them?

They way they do it is to (1) offer some light criticism based on this single specific story, ignoring the fact that it's part of a much larger picture, (2) pivot, and (3) attack you for bringing it up.

Have we not seen that approach at least a thousand times?
