So they don’t support free speech? I thought that’s why this guy was a martyr somehow.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Yeah...these people really don't understand irony, at all.
Fascists don't believe in the meaning of words.
They are free to play in bad faith, while libs waste time and energy debating their bad faith arguments; exactly what the bad faith actor wanted.
Exactly.
Words are nothing but weapons to them, tactics to distract, demoralize, dogwhistle, whatever.
You do not speak to a fascist with words.
You speak to them with a fucking baseball bat.
... not like they would ever do any good with a working jaw anyway.
It's only about Nazi free speech. They'll pretend we all need to allow their free speech, no matter how hateful, because, "free speech".
But they don't have any intent of YOU having free speech.
That's the paradox of tolerance that Popper talked about....
Didn't republicans make truth social and the other rightwing shitholes specifically because "tHeY'rE cEnSoRiNg Us" for saying shit more vile than what they're throwing a fit about now?
It's almost like they want censorship for everyone but themselves.
They want their speech out of their hate-infested echo chambers so that they can start infecting more of the populace.
They would love it if everyone was forced to be exposed to their spew. They think people being to ignore/block/unaffiliate with them is "censorship".
The Nazi playbook.
It’s almost like they want censorship for everyone but themselves.
Almost like? No, that's the actual point.
The Snowflake Bill
For a state as homophobic as Louisiana, they sure do love gobbling them some old man dementia cock
And dead man cock if he's any indication.
I bet every MAGAt has a small peepee.
I demand Louisiania republiQans shut the fuck up
Fat bald old white man. Checks out.
it’s not fat old, bald white men. It’s Republicans.
don’t be a bigot
Correction: fat old bald conservative white man. Checks out.
And I demand Trump be arrested
party of free speech
Wait, I thought this party was about trying to legalize comedy again. Because no one was allowed to laugh prior to Taco being back in office.
What happened?
Higgins, who chairs the House Oversight Committee’s subcommittee on federal law enforcement, argued restrictions are not censorship but a defense of constitutional order. “The reasonable restriction of public statements that lie far beyond the standards of our own society is not an oppression of free speech. It is, rather, the protection of free speech,” he claimed.
Insert 1984 slogan here.
*edit: glad he's dead.
FREEDOM! SMALL GOVERNMENT! ANTI CANCEL CULTURE! NOT SNOWFLAKES!
Any anti-Charlie Kirk post is a pro-humanity post.
If these people aren't the most butthurt snowflakes ever over this podcaster, they sure are pretending to be.
JFC.
And I demand that Louisiana Republicans get deleted, but we don't all get what we want, do we?
"I had the Constitution printed on custom toilet paper. Never has wiping felt so good!"
Sounds very anti free speech
How very free speech of them.
Try that shit on the fediverse, chump.
He know he physically beats his children
so much free speech!

He can come to New Orleans if he wants to find out. All this bluster and can’t even take a street car 7 blocks or whatever.
Reddit is already way ahead of him.
