How can the "free speech" party so consistently get it wrong when it comes to the First Amendment?
Free speech is a code for hate speech. It really is that simple.
Yeah it's "I want people to stop acting like I'm a jerk when I say mean things", "but I also want them to not be able to say mean things about me, cuz that isn't fair to me". And yes, it should sound like a toddler having a temper tantrum. Including a complete misunderstanding of the entire concept of fairness.
"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."
Ahh...see...there's the rub...your answer is literally the first word of the first amendment.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances
Congress ain't doing shit. Executive unitary theory means the Constitution is about as legally binding as a Dear Abby letter.
She needs to keep going. She needs to speak to them the same way they speak to everyone else. She needs to use every bit of her position to mother fuck these cowards at every turn. Call them out, and show their ignorance every single fucking time and in every single fucking forum.
She needs to demand her coworkers do the same. She needs to shame them when they don't or when they compromise. The time for pleasantries is long past.
If she does, others will follow, but it will be dangerous, so I understand if she just keeps doing what she is doing. It is at least miles more than most of them.
Bla bla bla, man shouts at clouds, but no one listens.
You're right. She's the only one or at most one of less than a handful of Democrats that are actually DOING something with their platform to resist the fascists, rather than just doing rousing speeches for the cameras, fundraising emails and fuckall else.
If the Dem leadership were more like her, even if they retained the same crappy Neoliberal policy positions, things would never have gotten anywhere near this bad in the first place.
Fuck she's cool
It’s AOC with the steel chair!
My god, the pressure she is experiencing right now…
She and Bernie are carrying the entire weight of the opposition party and therefore the future of the country. I don't envy them.
I've always wonder why the US uses a title from Imperial Russia to refer to the heads of special activity like drug czar and border czar. No seriously, any ideas why?
It’s a term that indicates a leader, and its origins are thousands of years before imperial Russia.
It’s a derivative of the Latin “Caesar”, and many cultures have used the term (or its derivatives) to indicate a leader. Pre-Weimar Germany was led by the Kaiser, a German adaptation of the title.
It's an unofficial title given to those empowered to make broad decisions for US, UK, and even Canadian policy.
This is relatively new, it started with Obama I believe. It was sort of a joke that went non-ironic at some point.
don't start a war of words with someone infinitely more intelligent than you are, mr homan.
conservatism is a disease that untreated will often develop into fascism
