Technically you have no influence on being a bastard

This is why don't feed the trolls was a popular refrain. Those people want a response, and banning is a response. It's a tough line for moderation though, and why shadow banning exists.

And the meaning has also shifted away from your parents not being wed when you are born.

That you may have to get the justice system involved to support your rights. I suppose you can call that a consequence.

[email protected]

So consequences exist for free speech. Thank you for finally getting on board.

[email protected]

I know, I know

I have not backtracked on anything... My very first comment explicitly says that "It protects you against SOME consequences (then I proceed to list some as an example)", which obviously implies that some others aren't protected by it... I also never mentionned who would be enforcing it...

I didn't care which consequences you thought about, and still don't. It's not what my comments are about.
My issue with your comment is you saying that freedom of speech doesn't protect hate speech because it doesn't give you freedom from ALL consequences. But freedom of speech gives the same protection to hate speech as any other form of speech.

I would have the same to say if that comment was :
"
-Freedom of speech includes talking about minorities oppression
-Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom of consequences you woke bastard
"
Or any other topic.

I think I would agree with you on a lot of ideas, but using fallacious arguments is never helpfull.

I say you aren't free from consequences and you assume alot.

Just stop.

You've conceded my point because you are trying to argue semantics.

There are consequences associated with the freedom of speech.

Everything you've said doesn't contradict it but supports the basic argument I made.

You really seem miffed due to the fact that I can just say with accuracy that you know there are consequences related to free speech.

[email protected]

Oh gosh no one wants that feedback.

[email protected]

What you interpret as me changing sides is just me agreeing with the relevant arguments you make.

You are the only one assuming my thoughts here. All I am saying since the beginning is that your argument doesn't contradict op's meme.
It is not a false statement, I never said as such, it simply doesn't contradict it, and using it to imply that op is racist is the issue at hand.

Freedom of speech does protect hate speech, that's an issue with it, and it merits to be discussed. Every right comes with drawbacks, and closing the discution in favor of circlejerking is never a good idea.

On that note I'm getting tired of this discussion too, so I'll stop there. Once again, I do not have a grudge against you or your ideas, I just hate seeing falacious arguments beeing aplauded all the time, but I guess that's unavoidable on social medias, no matter which. Have a nice day, and ty for this conversation.

Dude, you conceded that speech has consequences. Regardless of what, who, when and how they are implemented.

I no longer understand what point you are trying to make.

You keep trying to put words into my mouth.

STOP

[email protected]

Tell me you're a idiot without telling me.

[email protected]

I should have been more clear that I'm not talking about a nazi rally in any arbitrary context, but specifically one in nazi germany.

[email protected]

american free spech has limits, it really only protects you when criticizing the government

"Free speech only when talking about the government" is very different from "free speech".

[email protected]

You were wrong, and he thoroughly showed you how you were wrong.

By your logic being black has consequences.

[email protected]

Based on your argument, free speech means no consequences. Stop being a debate bro if you're this bad at it.

[email protected]

Yeah, and people point to that when they talk about free speech and miss the point where they never said you are completely free of consequences.

Try again. Seriously, you sound like a high school student who clued in half way through the class.

[email protected]

Germans have freedom of opinion. Much better, IMHO.

[email protected]

Yes, we have freedom of opinion but you have to keep your mouth shut

[email protected]

Baaed on how you are reacting i should be able to spew slurs and not get shown the door.

But hey, the consequences for my speech seem to be getting in to it with pedants who are laser focused on a couple words.

Keep making my point for me
