Time Magazine writer fears freedom of speech

[Orangecat]

The so-called adults on the right do not want to think for themselves. They want a single narrative with no smart-alec liberals confusing the issues with reality.

You stupid ****, it's not the Right that wants adult discourse censored. That's your team.

Shouting lies at a bunch of gullible cult members is not discourse. Discourse is where you take ownership of the ideas you present and accept even the harshest rebuttal as the price of participating in the marketplace of ideas. The right can never have a perfect rebuttal-free bubble no matter how much you think you are entitled to one.

No one is shouting in online posts. Stop being a hysterical dingbat.

And who wants to censor adults online? Try not to lie, even though you are a lib and it's in your nature.

A social media platform can make and enforce whatever rules it deems necessary for their continued profitability and to protect themselves from liability. In spite of this you people seem to have little difficulty in spreading even the most outlandishly false narratives and medical quackery. What are you crying about? You can still tell idiots elections are rigged and that bleach cures Covid all you want.

Because you don't understand the concept of "free speech" as defined in the Constitution.

Twitter tried free speech and they got flooded with liars who slandered other members, con artists who used the site to fleece the gullible, and conspiracy theorists who spread disinformation about the government and everything else.

Twitter was forced to ban the liars, to restore some semblance of sanity to the site, as did Facebook.

The rest of your post is just the usual right wing lies about the left. Why are white males so insecure, and needy. Why can't you ever admit you're wrong, or you've behaved badly, or you've lost an election.

Why are you such weak ass, spineless wonders that you would elect a piece of shit like Donald Trump as President. You're problem is that you think Trump is some kind of hero, instead of the worst example of toxic masculinity you can find.

What place do you think you have to speak of our Constitution?

You're from Canaduh, a nation that was founded in cowering and groveling before the same horrendous tyrant against which we Americans rebelled in order to found our nation.

You're a relic of the same backward, degenerate ideology of which our Constitution is an explicit rejection.

Nothing that you have to say about our Constitution, or about the establishment of our nation thereunder, has any meaning at all.

Wow, the projection reeks in this one.

Canada was actually founded in 1867. George was long dead by then.

Pretty sure the founders never intended for us to be defenseless against opportunistic liars. Yet it seems the right thinks the continual backlash they face for their conspiracy theories is tyranny.

You people have embraced fascism head on.

I GOT LEFTIST BUZZWORD BINGO!

Meanwhile, you don't know shit about free speech. You just think that people who disagree with you should be silenced.

You're a good Communist.

If that were true they would have written limits into the 1st Amendment's free speech protections.

The so-called adults on the right do not want to think for themselves. They want a single narrative with no smart-alec liberals confusing the issues with reality. Tell your lies all you want but you have no expectation under the constitution to be protected from rebuttal. If Twitter becomes a right wing septic tank of bullshit that's just fine but still you will not get your safe place to trade lies without being called out.

And that's the problem, isn't it? The left has gotten comfortable silencing voices that disagree with them. You've had a virtual echo chamber for years. Then someone comes along threatening to open the door, and you're all losing your shit, because then you'll have to defend what you're saying.

It's high time leftists grew up -- but you'll probably just get older.

 

[daveman]

Lord have mercy on them. They know not what they do.

Free speech is a *****, kid. Your inability to defend your views rationally does not obligate anyone else to be quiet.

Sheer projection.

Yes, that's what you said when Twitter was silencing conservative views.

Now you want the government to silence people. How very Soviet of you.

In spite of this you people seem to have little difficulty in spreading even the most outlandishly false narratives and medical quackery. What are you crying about?

We're not. You are.

You can still tell idiots elections are rigged and that bleach cures Covid all you want.

Nobody said bleach cures Covid. That's a lie that you're allowed to tell your fellow idiots.

That's why they gave us the courts..........

Are you serious? Disinformation is just a word the left likes to use that means a different point of view then theirs.

They've been doing that since the 90's because Rush Limbaugh had such a large following. Their answer was going to be a new version of the "Fairness Doctrine".

The problem was that Liberal talk radio was nothing but a hate fest and couldn't gain, much less hold enough market share to stay on the air.

As a result they were going to tie FCC licensure to giving away free air time to couther Limbaugh.

Seems they forgot they already owned PBS and College Radio.

Actually that's exactly what the founders wanted figuring that if all speech competes then the liars and those with bad ideas would lose out to those speaking the truth with good ideas.

You can't be sued for lying to the public unless there's a provable harm as in false advertising.

He's looking at the Democrat version. You know, the one with all the Sharpie all over it.
