The Real timschochet 6,454 Posted February 17 There can reasonably be limits to free speech. For example, the swastika is banned in Germany. Given their history, I don’t think this is unreasonable. Incidentally it was the United States, during our occupation of western Germany in 1945, that first banned the swastika, and ever since then the German governments have wisely followed our example. Does someone here want to make an argument why it should not be banned? I’ll listen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would never fly the one used by the Nazi's, but I would fly a different version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You also seem to think Democrats are always going to be in power. Your argument could be used against all forms of human judgment. Obviously power can always be abused. But at some point someone has to decide something. Oliver Wendell Holmes correctly pointed out that we can’t allow someone to yell “fire” in a crowded theater; therefore there has to be SOME limits on free speech. Who decides those?

Fnord 2,055 Posted February 17 Free speech is not absolute. I am not sure why MAGA has such a hard time comprehending that, while also cheering on clear violations of First Amendment rights such as: Blocking AP reporters from the WH and AF1 because they refused to refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America Removing references to transgender and queer from the Stonewall National Monument in NYC. Literally a monument celebrating the push for equality by members of the LGBTQ community. Deleting of websites and internal network content at NSA. The following terms have been banned: privilege, bias, inclusion, racism, anti-racism, DEI, diversity, diverse, confirmation bias, equity, feminism, gender, gender identity, injustice, prejudice, sexuality, stereotypes, pronouns, transgender, and equality. There are more. This despite there being plenty of legitimate, non-"woke" reasons for using many of the terms. Unfortunately, they do not have enough staff to ensure that mission-related websites will not be affected, potentially leaving assets in harm's way. They removed the word diverse from the Dept of Interior's website discussing museums from the term "diverse collections." Meaning art, exhibits, etc. They're such children they want the term confirmation bias banned. LOL.

It IS however illegal in Germany because of its association to the Nazis. I think that’s reasonable, do you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

See this is where the conversation always leads to. Arguing over small instances of what's allowed and what's not, when the real argument is that the government, aka the liberals, wanted to ban disinformation. When they are the ones in charge, they get to choose whatever they want to be disinformation, and it can change daily if need be. We already saw what they considered disinformation with the Hunter Biden laptop. Quit circling around this very important topic and talk about what is being specifically brought up. Do you agree with disinformation being banned? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
