These days "free speech" means giving a platform to white nationalists/supremacists, no matter what.
If you're not concerned, you're not paying enough attention. This continues to go bad places very quickly.
- t0mbstone 9y agoIt might go bad places, but nowhere near as bad of places as shutting down free speech. We have history to prove this fact, which is why it's part of our constitution. We don't get to just repress free speech because we disagree with it. If white supremacists have a platform, then we need to meet them head on and fight their ideas with our ideas.
