[basquebromance]

the fake media is a propaganda tool. Noam Chomsky and Trump agree on that!

people are free only if and only if their material conditions are equal, my friends

When material conditions are equal no one is free and all are enslaved. That is fact and irrefutably proven throughout human history

It is a human right to that person and as valuable as it is to someone with a platform

Not true and also irrelevant.

It oppressed no one and it was never a neo nazi rally

Is there a gun at the head of the person working 60 hours a week? Why is the moron still working for minimum wage unless that is all his intelligence requires of him? Why are you still working 60 hours a week on minimum wage?

In high school minimum wage for me was $4.25 an hour. By the 4th month I was there I was bumped up to $4.75, and by the time I left high school I was up to $6.00 an hour.

Minimum wage didn't go up, but my abilities did, and my boss wanted to retain me because of it.

And I was just some high-schooler at the time.

It most certainly can. Many of our freedoms can have negative consequences. The idea is that those consequences are not as bad as the alternative.

Exactly. If the police had powers to arrest at will, enter homes at will, and detain people indefinitely, they could probably reduce crime significantly.

I never said anything about consequences.

I stated free speech oppresses no one and that is absolute fact

The crux of the progressive argument is twofold. One, that hate speech automatically leads to hate actions, even if subconscious.

The second part is that words and actions are interchangeable, thus hurtful words are the same as hurtful actions.

You are unable to state as fact something that affects someone else.
