Free speech is free speech. What you continually spout is hate speech, but you are free to spout it, and we are free to ridicule you for it.

Who are "the right"? AOC wanted a list of those who voted from Trump after he lost in 2020. If there is real fascism it will come from the extremes of either party.

Most likely the Democrats. Trump has proven the left wrong by simply existing as President a second time.

You asked the right question, but then fell into the false equivalency trap. Who on the "extreme right" wants to ban free speech?

All extremes desire the same control over citizens. Remember Nikki Haley stating that citizens must be IDed on Twitter? How about people banning "hate speech"?

Its a slippery slope.

Please stop with the platitudes. If you know of any prominent GOP "extremists" who want to "ban free speech," please name them.

They lurk and will try to rejuvenate the Neo-Cons after Trumps term I assure you. You dont need names, they reside in the background and vote via donations.

Spare me. You know who they are, and don't start talking about AOC. AOC is nt extreme. She is not an anarchist. What the right, which includes you, calls extreme are actually common-sense things, while you are in here cheering for an extremist agenda for America that you don't have to live in. The right is forcing books to be banned and censoring school curricula. Trump is a ******* fascist, and if you think he isn't or that his policies are not, you're really screwed up.

All of you. That is why you guys have advocated for books to be banned, and to prevent teaching of certain topics.

 

[Cassandro]

Spare me.

Spare me? I'm not familiar with that name. Is it another goblin in your paranoid mind?

The problem is, free speech is still alive in the UK.

Not everything you say is protected by free speech.

If not everything is protected than it is not "free speech".

Its one thing to try and incite violence quite another to speak with hatred and disagreement with the elite government

Really?

Maybe you need to learn what rights are first. Then from them, figure out what free speech is.

Ever heard of TREASON?

Your "argument" suggests that if a country punishes people for treason, then there is no free speech.

Well done.

Yes, there's a difference between inciting violence and disagreeing with the government. Have you any examples from the UK of a person "disagreeing with the government" that got them imprisoned?

You dont follow this stuff it seems. People were imprisoned for calling a guy a f**got, another for calling a rapist a "pig".

13,000 arrests last year in the U.K alone for online posts or likes.

If you support that, then...

Well, you could have shown me the examples of this.

How can I tell you whether something is protected by free speech or not based on what you just said?

Google. It's been reported on here from time to time as well I believe.

The U.K, along with much of Europe; has stabbed in the back the Greatest Generation who risked it all.

If Russia or China attack in the near future this generation will NOT put up the same fight

NO, Even if I google it, I won't know which specific cases you're talking about.

Either post your sources, or this conversation is over. I'm betting on the latter.

Im too lazy tonight.

Let me post a broad bit of data for you to help you sleep better, from 2023 data, most arrests for online comments, though Russia and China probably underestimate.
