Freedom of speech guarantees the government will not interfere. It does not guarantee you can speak without consequences.
I fought and killed and bled and watched my friends die to protect the right to free speech. That's part of why I get so angry when I see those white supremacist assholes dresse up like tactical Barbie. If they want to fight I'd be happy to introduce them to some of my Marines.
Yeah, only southerners are stupid, retrograde pinheads. Don't you love the hypocrisy of the left, condemning bigotry with bigotry and shutting down free speech with violence? How many left protests go off peacefully because the counter protest on the right respects their right to protest. And then you get the mess in Charlottesville, where fringe-view protesters can't be just ignored but must be challenged with physical violence. I bet when all is said and done in Charlottesville we're going to find that it was the anti-fa crowd that instigated the fighting.
Yea but the left aren't f'n nazi's op
My post is pointing out the fact that racism is everywhere... lol.
@ATK1 @D1 the entire protest was instigated by white supremacists. "The left" came out to oppose white supremacy. "Free speech" that actively seeks to dehumanize and oppress other people groups is not by its very nature non-violent. This isn't a "both sides" situation either.
@ATK, racism is everywhere in America and people like you are the proof. The fact that anyone can possibly think there are two sides here is literally insane.
And maybe you saw the news tonight. The guy who organized the rally tried to make a speech tonight and was not just boo'd but physically forced off the stage by the left protesters. Is the answer to speech you don't like violence? Look, I'm not saying the guys views are honorable or respectable -- I'm just saying that there is a lot of violence on the left right now, and the lefts willingness to erase the line between abhorrent speech and physical violence is something we should all be careful about. Because when speech is violence then speech is dead in the water. Turn the tables in this one and ask yourself how it would be if a Nation of Islam speaker were physically forced off stage by some rightist protesters. Would you say the same thing? It's wrong in both cases.
Atk1: BLAME LIBERALS FOR EVERYTHING. False flag attaxks?
Symbols have the meaning that people give them. Statues of confederate heels in modern America represent racism. They were erected by racist assholes to celebrate white supremacy. Yes, it is absolutely true that Robert E Lee was a more complex person (and an honorable man) but that statue of him celebrates the ownership of black people and is a symbol for racists to rally around.
ATK1, if you read the actual declarations of secession of the states... yeah, all about slavery. Don't buy into The Lost Cause myth. Oh, and if toy were thinking of spouting off some Lincoln quote about paying for government.. find the actual source first, not apologist websites. Spoiler alert: you won't be able to. It was never said.
We'll see, folks, we'll see. Were you also upset by the violent protests by the anarchic left? And please read up a little more on the causes and consequences of the civil war and the statues that are being taken down. The civil war was not exclusively (some would say even mainly) about slavery. And Robert E Lee does not merely represent racism.
From Alexander Stephens, VP of the confederate states : "Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite ideas; its foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery, subordination to the superior race, is his natural and normal condition."
^ ATK1 , you were saying what now?
Well it looks like we've got ourselves a literal Klan member here. Who TF is doing the hiring over at ATK?
There was, very few alt right demonstrators, mostly people protesting what happened in Virginia. Some people were peppered, but it was mostly tame
Op, racism is everywhere you look for it, apparently.
Yeesh the fact that people are actually upvoting ATK1's comments.
Yeah that's fairly bad. Deloitte has been looking bad too, ashamed to say.
