ex: antifa. hostile muslim hordes.
The government dragging people to court over jokes and ripping signs out of peoples hands is more than 'responsibility for what they say'
As are degenerates attacking people for having different opinions and views.
Most lefists aren't antifa, nor are most Muslims hostile in practice (we can debate about the general attitudes of Muslims, though). They are a small minority just like the far right degenerates.
I can see the issue with court issues over jokes. I still believe that spoken words can surpass the threshold of becoming deeds when words are used to facilitate or outright commit crimes. If i tell someone to beat up someone else, is it a crime? If one hires a hitman, should he be sued for murder or just the hitman? After all, he just gave someone money and said a few words. These words made the difference.
If someone shows using carefully constructed studies, that a certain type of speech is statistically associated with increased violent crimes and uprisings and is able to prove a causal relationship, would you not hold the speech as a cause for the violence? I'm not advocating anything here really, just trying to point out dilemmas. Would restricting such speech be morally justified on the grounds of reducing overall violence?
