The founding of America was built on seditionist terrorists broadcasting their very violent and hostile speech.
Speech is speech. Only speech deemed non-normative needs defending.
Words can’t hurt you.
- bryanrasmussen 3y agosomehow a discussion of the EU still ends up about the US and American theories of free speech.
- nkrisc 3y agoA lot of people were hurt in the American Revolution. For better or for worse, words have consequences.
- fmajid 3y agoJulius Streicher was executed at Nurenberg for just that, words. Vicious words he published in his newspaper Der Stürmer to demonize Jews and justify their extermination.
- Devasta 3y ago> Words can't hurt you. Sorry, but that is absurd. Propaganda has and will kill people. Look at the legions of dipshits who follow Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh. Sure, all they do is sit at their desks talking absolute horseshit but it'd be deeply unserious to suggest that people haven't been killed as a result.
- sofixa 3y ago> Words can’t hurt you. Tell that to Samuel Paty, his decapitated ghost would be thrilled to hear that.
- seydor 3y agoSamuel Paty died because he believed in free expression, and he would approve of it, no? Saying the opposite is probably insulting to his memory BTW he didn't die by "words", he died because a bigoted idiot attacked him
- sofixa 3y ago> Samuel Paty died because he believed in free expression, and he would approve of it, no He probably would, but do note that he caveated his free expression tremendously, doing everything he could do avoid offending brainwashed kids and their retarded parents. > BTW he didn't die by "words", he died because a bigoted idiot attacked him Because people called for his death based on a misinterpretation based on a lie from one of the brainwashed students. That was the speech that killed him, not his own. (And for the record, thankfully, all the pieces of shit responsible are being tried - that includes the brainwashed students that spread the initial lies, their parents that spread them online even further, as well as those that called for his death online, and the students that directed the murderer in the direction of the teacher. )
