I will say again. Words are not violence. To be criminally liable related to mob activity it has to be immediate, against a specific target, and actionable.

“Courts around the country have held that individuals cannot be sued for calling out the views of others as racist, fascist, homophobic, radical, or sexist. As we and the Center for Constitutional Rights explained in a friend-of-the-court brief we submitted last week in support of SPLC, such statements of opinion criticizing hateful or bigoted views lie at the core of First Amendment protection. They enable us to express ourselves (including our disgust), they animate our political discussion, and they offer us a tool to persuade others. For debate on political issues to flourish, we must be able to express our views about the prejudices of others without fearing that a defamation lawsuit could arise from our words.”

Americans are at liberty to state the fact that Musk is a fascist and racist, free from threats of lawsuits.

Is there a right not to be called a stalinist paedophile? Would the ACLU stand by and say nothing if the President or someone else called them out for it?

BS^^

 

[struth]

it harmed his businesses? the poor guy is starving?

Didn’t say he was starving, that’s not an element of the offense

It certainly harmed his businesses. It’s encouraged dembot Brownshirts to literally firebomb his offices

 

[irosie91]

Didn’t say he was starving, that’s not an element of the offense

ok----good point----but as a public figure who HIMSELF
is a CONTROL FREAK ( <<<I am now liable?) he is, IMO,
a legal target

What about painting swastikas on peoples' cars and firebombing immigrant-owned businesses, like you guys are doing right now?

A legal target? What does that mean?? You can’t defame people, even public figures

DEFAME? nope---accusing him of RAPE --is defamation--
characterizing his politics is----politics

Yes defame calling someone a racist or Nazi is offensive, just like falsely accusing someone of rape is offensive

You aren’t characterizing his polltics, he is not a national socialist, far from it, he in fact wants smaller govt not larger centralized govt. you are lying about him simply to damage his reputation…it’s textbook defamation

I did not attempt to characterize his politics---I am
considering the issue on theory. The term "racist"
is a lot more subjective than "guilty of rape" ---as
is the term "nazi

You should research your statement before revealing your ignorance.

No you aren’t, because nothing about just politics is remotely like the national socialist. You are using the term to damage his reputation just like when you call him a racist with zero evidence

These tactics are done to harm his reputation and dehumanize him so brownshirts can more easily commit their acts of terror against him

Lefties want to put you in jail for using the wrong pronoun but they fight for the right to call you a Nazi. Go figure.

That's not fact; it's opinion. You really need a windbag explanation to understand this?

Well MAGAs love to call nonMAGAs Nazis too, so it protects them as well.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

You are very correct Nazi

When Kim Kardashian is a Nazi everyone is a Nazi. Then too, Nazis are better than democrats. But then, everyone BUT democrats are better than democrats.
