We dont have shit like infowars. Why do you love them so much ?
Because we're not as fond of telling people what they can read and how they think silly...
Here's where your juvenile concept of controlling speech and media goes awry.. Liberty and freedom does not work without TOLERANCE. And you HAVE none of that. What tolerance means in this case, I'll support the people's right to read and speak what they want to --- EVEN IF --- I abhor, detest, am revolted by their choices.
You TOSS THAT -- like your Merry Tiny Kingdom is doing -- and it's the beginning of the end for Liberty and Freedom.. Remember that. Because when you LOSE those things, you'll know why..
Sorry, but freedom of speech doesn't mean that you can say whatever you want, especially when you spread fake rumors that put other people's lives in danger like Jones did with the pizza place. He has received numerous warnings about crossing the line and he doesn't listen to it. What he has started doing equates to yelling fire in a crowded theater.
Sorry but you don't LEGISLATE "fake news".. That's just creating more fantasy about the truth. How many morons out there might go postal over Trump hiring hookers in Moscow to pee on the bed because Obama slept there? You never know. Psychotic morons are one of those societal risks.... ADDRESS THEM.
Don't baby-proof speech and media.. UNLESS -- you're not a fan of Liberty and Freedom... Which are probably words you haven't heard or used in decades -- i would guess.
We're not psychotic morons or babies. But some elitist snobs believe that the govt is everyone's nanny BECAUSE they carry some kind of astral intelligence and moral and ethical superiority.
It's not considered "fake news," and yes the Supreme court has decided you can legislate it when the fake things you are saying puts other people's lives in danger.
Imagine how disappointed I am as a full on libertarian arguing with leftists about Civil Liberties and freedom. USED TO BE -- they were my staunch allies. NOW -- they are the problem. Can't be trusted on those PRIMARY political issues.
The hippies who led the "free speech" movement learned the wrong message. Didn't take away the VALUE of the rights they fought for. INSTEAD -- the only lesson they seemed to learn was that POWER gets you what you want. Any ANNOYANCE can be solved with a rowdy demonstration or a law..
You're wrong. The SCt has tred EXTREMELY LIGHTLY on the 1st Amendment. Ruling ONLY in cases where there is a potential of IMMEDIATE HARM or civil unrest or confusion. And in cases where there's a VALID premise being falsely proclaimed. NOT in cases of literary flights of fancy or conspiracy theories or pure tabloid exploitation...
Your tribe and Tommy Boy's tribes canoes are now WAY down the path beyond the last safe landing before the falls. You're USELESS to any serious defense of Civil Liberties.
