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

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".
It’s almost like they want censorship for everyone but themselves.
Almost like? No, that's the actual point.
The Nazi playbook.
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.
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.
And I demand that Louisiana Republicans get deleted, but we don't all get what we want, do we?
If these people aren't the most butthurt snowflakes ever over this podcaster, they sure are pretending to be.
JFC.
Any anti-Charlie Kirk post is a pro-humanity post.
FREEDOM! SMALL GOVERNMENT! ANTI CANCEL CULTURE! NOT SNOWFLAKES!
How very free speech of them.
Sounds very anti free speech
"I had the Constitution printed on custom toilet paper. Never has wiping felt so good!"
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.
