You are free to say what you want, and I'm free to take what you are saying into consideration when deciding what in what interaction I will or won't engage with you.
What's the contradiction here?
- A4ET8a8uTh0 3y agoSimple. By preventing me from self-identifying as an asshole by forcing non-asshole behaviors -- you are infringing on my right to free speech, free association ( or non-association ) and many others such rights. If you cannot see it, you yourself are not free.
- CyberDildonics 3y agomy right to free speech That's about government retaliation. You don't have a right to be free of consequences for anything you say. What you're looking for is a "safe space".
- A4ET8a8uTh0 3y agoOh? So what will you claim exactly when the situation is reversed and you are not free from consequences of your actions? Societal norms are fickle. Are you sure you want rely on those?
- CyberDildonics 3y agoNo one is free from any and all consequences for their actions. Is this a real question? You may as well accept that your actions have consequences since it is reality. Usually this is a lesson taught to young children while they are still learning to talk.
- A4ET8a8uTh0 3y agoIt absolutely is a real question. I routinely see different standards applied when consequence are on the line and selective enforcement is made based on criteria that make one question the very foundations of the country that is not willing to live up to their espoused ideals. Since you mention little children, I would be remiss not to point out that kids do pick up on that particular, shall we say, inconsistency rather quick usually to the embarrassment of the adults, who are, after all, in a polite company.
- CyberDildonics 3y agoWhere do your ideas that there are no consequences for what you say come from?
- A4ET8a8uTh0 3y agoUS constitution and major free speech cases. By the way, I reject the consequences framing. Everything has a consequence. I breathe. Oxygen enters my bloodstream. The only question tends to be whether a busybody has too much free time on their hands to undermine basic foundations of this country. And there seem to be so many of those lately. Related.

- CyberDildonics 3y agoFreedom of speech does not include the right: To permit students to print articles in a school newspaper over the objections of the school administration. Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier, 484 U.S. 260 (1988).
- A4ET8a8uTh0 3y agoIt is mildly amusing isn't it. Not that long ago schools were kinda for trying to uphold freedoms of their students. I do not want to presume too much, but I am assuming you are trying to make some sort of subtle point. If so, do not hesitate to do it and just play your cards. It is not like I can report you for anti-semitism or something.
