This is how Libs see Free Speech today

...is it wrong?

I think that is a bad characterization of the liberal/free speech thing going on.

This is actually correct

The issue is the response to free speech with violence

the part about the boycott is pretty wrong

they're using force and intimidation to keep him off campus, not competing in the marketplace of ideas

think about it like how they like to pull fire alarms to force speakers to have to stop. it's like that but with either unruly protesters that make the situation so hostile the campus feels it has to cancel (UCLA cancelled before Milo even got to go for this reason) OR they create such a hostile environment that they cause the security/insurance to be so high that speakers/schools can't afford it

This cartoon is right and reasonable. It's just not representative of what is actually happening with many on the left right now. Nobody has the right to break the law in protest.

It should be mentioned that "fighting words" can get you arrested and is not protected.

this is correct

but I like how they imply people like Milo and Shapiro are getting talks cancelled because people don't want to hear them and aren't showing up as protest

here is the thing, and i was going to mention it yesterday but got caught up in my own bullshite

OK you do this to Milo? i get it he's a douche and troll/instigator

you do it to Gavin McGinnes? i'll even give you that one

you do it to Ben Shapiro? #basedmom? Dave Rubin? something is wrong

And he has that right. Endangering his life and the people around him in order to prevent him from free speech is illegal and the people protesting are simply no longer exercising their right to free speech and can be arrested.

That is how EVERYONE should see FREE SPEECH.
