So someone could say something terrible (online or to your face) about your wife/mother/gf/kids or whoever and that would be okay, because, like, "free speech"?

You free speech advocates are so deluded.

"Governments must censor us because we are scared !!".

Yes Im ok with that. I wouldnt like it and may say something myself. Or walk away.

So a government decides it doesnt like you being negative about them so they sue you for 150% of your total worth and then bans you from being about to work or travel. Thats Singapore.

Or they just get the police to beat you. That's the middle east. And almost all of Asia. Africa. Eastern Europe. South America. Well, everywhere other than a handful of democratic countries.

I guess life must be pretty good if your greatest fear is someone saying mean words to you.

Is it worth doing the rest?

Do you deny people were banned from Twitter for expressing those views?

lol. Bruce, you're either lying or have no idea how this stuff works.

Anti trans activists are all over twitter. The stuff about Biden's laptop is all over twitter.

Do you want ISIS on twitter?

Orwellian was a democratic socialist.

he wouldn't want a communication medium in private hands. Especially Musk, a parasitic fraud owned by China and in debt to the Saudis.

 

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

No. Free speech is free speech. Its literally in the word.

Im sure you'd love to control others' speech but you'd hate for your whacky posts to be censored.

You also seem to completely miss the point that in order to protect important speech you are going to get nasty speech.

Or maybe youre completely ok with censorship because the world is peachy and the only danger is mean words on social media.

If you want to call black people the N word on twitter you're too far gone and can't be helped.

He did have dystopian views towards a totalitarian state however…. Govt control and censorship, the very things you seem to advocate for

We haven't discussed government censorship. Old twitter was not owned by the government, neither is new twitter.

Again. What do you want to say you can't already say?

And just to clarify he identified himself as a socialist and went to Spain to put bullets in fascists' skulls.

You failed the first time….

lol. even Bruce (wrongly) brought up vaccines and trans stuff.

You moved straight to slurs.

Well that would make sense

Definition of fascism​

If you think people using the N word on twitter is a risk to lives youre too far gone and cant be helped.

Is this really your biggest fear about Musk buying twitter ?

If you don't think it's a problem, then it surely isn't a problem deleting their posts.

I answered your question and you didn’t have the courage to answer mine. How very predictable.

It's sad to see you right wingers drift to the extremes. You just go along with any old bs now.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

What happened after Spain?

He remained a staunch socialist, opposed to the communist element allied to the Soviet Union.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Donald Trump.

Incitement of violence. He was retweeting white nationalist posts for a while.

Only banned after Jan 6

That's all you got?

if you're trying to make the argument he became a conservative...
