Maga was outraged by the Social Media platforms censoring speech about covid, the election, etc.

Now they want to censor anti Israel speech.

The left doesn't care about the constitution. But I thought conservatives did.

You know there are political prisoner's in the US now right? Why would any of you support the government and big tech censoring anyone?

Is free speech à la carte?

Why would people who have been designated a "domestic terrorist" threat support this government in anything they do... ever?

Most Americans are too stupid to think beyond their own initial feelings.

I am fine with them censoring Hamas linked social media accounts. Hamas is terrorist organization who has already killed countless thousands of people. Censoring them is a bit different than censoring Americans over election memes.

I've never had a problem with social media censoring propaganda linked directly to foreign governments. (I am talking accounts controlled directly by foreign governments, not some guy in Omaha falsely accused of being a Russian).

Antisemtic speech and writing should be allowed. When it is a specific violent call for action, it should not be. Pretty simple.

You can say frick the Jews but you can't add "this Tuesday by killing them on Main st".

I think "from The river to the sea" obviously has enough linguistic deniability to qualify as protected speech. Even though every intellectually honest person knows it is a way to say "Exterminate the Jews" with plausible deniability. It's like saying "Let me tell you about Mein Kampf". You may indeed be talking about your idyllic Pecker-wood life on the farm, even though we know it has another meaning. The State can't decide such things.

Also, there has to be room for parody and satire and using ironic language to prove a point. Like. "I'd like to Carpet bomb Hollywood" isn't a literal statement of intent. It's just a rhetorical lament.

We are currently in the phase of weak men make hard times phase of our societal development.

The only hope for us is to make sure that the constitutional structure of our goverment remains intact, and is restored, so that the hard times make stronger men (and women). There's really no other hope.

Same as the ppl who champion. The first and 2nd ammendment not acknowledging the 3rd and actively supporting Israel military who has forcibly quartered themselves in palestinians homes for decades. Only constitutional when convenient

Well I guess I'd consider myself "MAGA" because I would love to see America made great again... But that's not at all how I feel about censorship of free speech.

Speech is speech, period. And it is 100% protected by the Constitution.

MAGA is not conservative. Trump is not conservative.

You're just now figuring that out?

I want to know how you even lift a brush that broad with your little girly-man arms.

I believe that most people do indeed desire be free, but our administrative state in D.C. including the 3-letter agencies, the majority of whom have no direct accountability, seek power for their own purposes.

Eroding citizens freedoms is necessary in order to more completely seize control over the people.

The bureaucracy is no longer fundamentally guided “by and for the people”, but rather “by and for the state”

The State increasingly views themselves as separate and above the people, and view themselves as rulers rather than public servants.

It's just going to get worse once the FCC gives the govt the full control over the internets next Tuesday...
