Nothing is more radicalizing. Literally guy stabs another person to death and you have people saying he should walk?

It's makes me think that they're either paid off or there is some insane tribalism going on. It's so tiresome. Can't remember a single time any other race did the same thing.

Lol you're misunderstanding the difference between free speech and causing harm.

Attempting(and in many cases succeeding) to prevent a person from maintaining or acquiring gainful employment because they said something you don't like, is injurious, it is not a function of free speech. You are stifling free speech by doing this, not exercising it.

What you're supporting is called McCarthyism. The infuriating thing about this is that everyone who supports it now reads about McCarthyism and they agree that it's bad. They just think they're so much smarter, it's not like all the thousands of times this has been done in history, THIS TIME we know whose lives should be ruined based on what they said. Give yer head a shake

Robert Blake heh

Charlie and his wife were both gay.
Let that sink in before you conclude anything about his death.

Nobody gives a sht about the truth or facts anymore, I guess.

Your literal first comment is to insult me, so I think your "argument" is already baseless.

You're mad cause no one cares that a hateful racist died. Cry harder. There is no debate about it. The dude spoke hateful racist BS. Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences. Do I think he should have been offed? No. Do I care that he was? No. Are you also siding with Hitler because he didn't actually kill anyone, besides himself, but decided he wanted to also speak his hateful rhetoric? ... But, given how out of touch with reality republicans are these days, I almost assume you actually support him.

Keep trying to defend the indefensible.

comparing "that guy is a communist" to "that guy who screamed the N word in an old lady's face deserves to keep his job" is honestly pretty funny. and it really misses the point tbh. lets alter the comparison.

-Joe works at a gas station
-Joe has a viral video where he screams the N word in an elderly black lady's face
-Patrons boycott the gas station until Joe is fired
-Joe's employer fires him

so the people who decided maybe another gas station that doesnt employ Joe is a better place to take their business are in the wrong? they must just continue to get gas at his station or they're infringing his free speech?

in reality people who understand how a society of social creatures such as humans works realize that when you say something publicly you open the door to people treating you differently after. As an enlightened society we strive to make that different treatment non-violent. We even try to keep the treatment directed at the person who spoke, and not those associated or related to them, but that's typically the first breaking point for extremists who are entirely anti free speech.

being realistic on free speech means defending the legal right of someone akin to Alex Jones to say what he thinks, but also defending society's non-legal and rather social reaction to that speech.

Ya or you can make the example:

Joe runs into burning buildings, risks his life to save old ladies, children and dogs.

Joe got drunk and tried to be funny.

Now he isn't allowed to run into fire while everyone else runs screaming away.

Maybe you're right, maybe you guys are the real heroes for getting him fired. This is what your enlightenment looks like
