Ok - here's my criticism of the 'right'. They talk about less government, but never do anything about it! Never. They will say whatever it is that sounds good to conservatives, but do the opposite.
Left and right are all on board with the same system. And this is increasing a fascist system, run by corporations.
But whatever the case - if people purport to have a constitution that allows for free speech - but that a lot of people do not have meaningful ability to exercise it, well its not surprising that places like Gab spring up. And that all those de-platformed views make their way there. People need to be able to have their say.
It used to be that it was a left position to say 'I don't like what you say, but I'll fight for your right to say it'. Those days are long gone - de-platform the hate speaker!
- dagmx 6y agoYou have a flawed understanding of free speech. It only protects against retribution by the government. It doesn't extend to society accepting any and all speech was acceptable.
