The group of more than a dozen masked individuals marched wearing red shirts and black pants, waving flags with swastikas on them. It is not clear at this time who the group is or affiliated with, though many of the shirts said “Blood Tribe.”
Free speech absolutism goes way too far.
Nazis marching is an implicit threat of violence and should be treated as such.
When free speech is implicit denouncement of equality it’s not free. It’s cancer and should be treated as such.
The absolutist view of “freedom” in general is the problem, in my opinion. Even more liberal/progressive/whatever people pay lip service to stopping the worst of people but we can’t actually do anything about it because dems use all the same shady bs they complain about repubs using.
Of course somebody will throw a bitch fit about this idea, but the people who think freedom dies when you aren’t allowed to root for genocide and slavery while threatening everyone are the same people who think it should be illegal for women to wear pants so fuck them - you don’t get an opinion on freedom when your idea of freedom is restricting the freedom of others to live their life or threatening the lives of others.
Meanwhile Pelosi is accusing anyone who’s critical of U.S. support for Israel as being a Russian plant. Here’s a crazy idea, instead of considering walking back free speech rights in the name of security we try something less drastic? Like I don’t know, maybe electing someone different than Biden in the 2020 primaries? Maybe not blocking worker strikes? Maybe not sending weapons to a country using them to commit war crimes?
Let’s try all those things first before we jump to removing first amendment rights.
What on Earth does this have to do with Pelosi or Israel?
Right-wing ideologies moving inexorably to it’s logical conlcusion has nothing to do with right-wing ideology moving toward it’s logical conclusion?
Because according to Pelosi, criticism of U.S. support for Israel is a threat of violence as well.
Why should I give a shit what Pelosi has to say?
Dude is misquoting her anyway.
Lol, I hope this is a bot account. If not, how does it feel to have two brain cells fighting for third place?
Memorialize this bra so current and future generations have proof of your stupidity.
