Free speech is for speech you don't like, or it's for no speech at all.
EDIT: No, that doesn't allow incitement to violence, though in the US it does allow hate speech that isn't incitement.
- pessimizer 12y agoThe US version of 'free speech' doesn't allow incitement to immanent violence, but it certainly allows for advocating violence.
- rosser 12y agoThat's typically what "incitement" is taken to mean, particularly in a legal context: the "request, encouragement or direction of one person by another" to undertake some specific course of action, usually criminal in nature.
- pessimizer 12y agoIt's the "immanent" that's important. Advocating violence is protected speech. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imminent_lawless_action https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imminent_lawless_action
