That's definitely what it sounds like to me, too! But I have never seen a single free speech advocate actually say "We should repeal the part of the immigration law that says you can be denied US citizenship based on membership in a US political party." So I conclude that whatever free speech advocates are advocating, it's not what it sounds like.
- stale2002 6y agoOne group advocating for 1 set of laws and protections that protect human rights should not stop you from attempting to protect other similar human rights. Your response to a group trying to protect certain rights that are related but not exactly the same as another set of rights, should not be you trying to fight against attempts to protect those rights. Instead, what you should be doing is fight in favor of more protections for these rights, instead of fighting to have less protections. More protections for humans rights are better. You should advocate for people to go even further than they are currently doing now, instead of concluding that you don't want these human rights to exist at all.
