Freedom of speech: Difference between revisions

[[Bullshit|“Freedom of Speech”]] means you can say whatever you want whenever you want to whomever you want. It is invoked in flame wars to act like a retard under the guise of protecting "basic civil liberties."

==The First Amendment (for retards)==

[[Image:OHSHI_copy.jpg|right|thumb|Assembly - it's your Right!]]

The First Amendment's also gave "freedom of the press", originally referring to the right to "publish" one's political thoughts and beliefs. Printed pamphlets, posters, flyers, newspaper columns and even letters sent to those newsletters were able to be published with whatever insane bullshit people wanted on them. Whether you're a [[9/11]] [[Alex Jones|conspiracy theorist]], a [[KKK]] member, or a [[Zionist]], you had the basic right to spread the word. These days we have the internet for this purpose, and we have outlets like [[imageboards]], [[forums]], even [[Jewtube]] comments (which of course the [[Youtube Comments|commenters]] are world renowned for their [[stupid|intelligent]] and [[bullshit|high quality]] opinions).

<big>'''''HOWEVER...'''''</big> it should be noted that Freedom of speech and expression isn't a UNO Reverse card. While you are TECHNICALLY free to say whatever you want without consequence from the state, there are common limitations or boundaries to freedom of speech recognized by a ''court of lol'' that DO open you up to a number of consequences, while not specifically violating this right. Common limitations can constitute any of the following: (click on them to learn more)

Is this simple enough for you [[noob|nuggets]] to understand? Good, carrying on...

Anywhere there are stupid [[attention whores]] who have no idea what they are talking about, there will surely be an appeal to the First Amendment for protection. Unlike real life, every single website on the internet has an owner who wields total power over everything passing through said site, therefore making the Internet a collection of despotic nation-states, each ruled by its own [[Admin|tyrant]] '''(READ: PRIVATE COMPANIES CAN DO WHAT THEY WANT)'''. Although most webhosts would argue that it's a good idea to practice free speech out of principle, and that the actual legal wording of the most recent revision of the USC should be used as a template. However, those webhosts don't own [[facebook]], [[twitter]], [[reddit]] or [[4chan]], which are platforms notorious for spurious bouts of [[censored|censorship]].

Get it? Got it? Good.

 

 

Burning the flag of any major western country nowadays is considered safe speech by the cucked administrative powers that be, and [[nobody cares]] about safe speech. Besides, [[Antifa]] burn them [[He_does_it_for_free|for free]] when they aren't already busy burning dumpsters. If you really want to piss off normalfags with flag burning, burn an [[LGBT]] flag or the national flag of [[Israel]]. Better yet, buy a shitload of copies of the [[Quran]] and burn that instead, then watch the [[lulz]] ensue as you claim [[Interior Semiotics|it's a protected, symbolic, artistic form of expression.]] Remember, the name of the game is to '''GET LULZ OR DIE TRYING!''' In the [[current year]], that means pissing off the people who want to ''RESTRICT'' the extent of your speech. _{(see below)}

Why is it so retarded? Where to begin? Firstly, this [[Xkcd|XKCD]] comic keeps getting dragged up like a [[forced meme]] in literally any argument about freeze peach wherever someone has an unpopular opinion or gets [[b&]]. The argument being made is robust enough: "An individual might invoke the First Amendment of the US Constitution, which guarantees, among other things, free speech to any entity or person subject to the legal jurisdiction of the US. It expressly specifies that "Congress shall make no law [...] abridging the freedom of speech or of the press.". As the persons preventing your speech from being heard are not under the banner of congress and are instead private individuals, they can do what they want and they don't have to offer you a platform."

Practicing [[censored|censorship]] isn't illegal for companies hosting public platforms like [[Twitter]], the problem comes when their rules are being enforced arbitrarily. When rules from big tech platforms that would otherwise get someone from '''Group A''' banned, where someone from '''Group B''' enjoys freedom from that same rule-break, then that platform is acting as a publisher editorializing opinions that it approves en masse, as opposed to existing as a platform protected by the first amendment. With Twitter as the case in point, they have allowed [[ISIS]] terrorists and Q members to own accounts and radicalize others on the platform, while handing out bans at random to literal nobodies who weren't that big a deal to begin with. You'd think that silicon valley tech companies would work tirelessly to combat the spread of [[AIDS]] on their websites, but not only do they not care, they actively collude with each other to carry it on.  

==Who hates it?==

Unique to the [[Jew]] is an uncanny ability to combine [[Arab]] xenophobia of the Conservatives with the Liberal's sensitivity towards offending other types of minorities, easily making Jews the ultimate First Amendment hypocrites. Should any goyim have the gall to post a joke at their fragile expense, they will immediately cry [[antisemitism]] and try to ruin your life.

Much like the Niggers, [[Arabs]] also take a very narrow view of the freedom the First Amendment guarantees. While generally supportive of their own right to assemble, speak freely and the freedom to choose [[Pedophilia|Islam]] as their religion, Arabs can become violent (and even spontaneously combust!) when other groups attempt to assert the same rights for themselves.

The [[Church of $cientology]], under the leadership of [[LRH]] proposed very early on to infiltrate sections of government under [[Operation Snow White]], and they did with quite some success. However [[Anonymous]] used their free speech with [[Project Chanology]] to prove to the world they're nothing more than a sleazy, money hoarding cult brainwashing and destroying millions of lives around the world while cashing in on free money. The SCIENTLOLOGISTS didn't like this however, and decided to try and shut these raids down by claiming that these brave anons were their [[daddy|SPs]], and the irl trolling of their "church" was hate speech.  

===Niggers===

For niggers, the First Amendment exists solely to prevent anyone except niggers from using the term "Nigger", or to prevent anyone other than niggers to poke fun at them for being niggers. While this may appear hypocritical at first, keep in mind that Niggers are little more than a lightly evolved [[Michelle_Obama|ape-species]] that is largely illiterate. As a result, their faulty grasp of the Constitution can be traced to the peculiarities of their biology.

There are some niggers like [[Dave Chappelle]] who have turned this around, and based their entire career on saying nigger over and over again as part of their comedy, at the expense of the censors on either [[Comedy Central]] or HBO. However, he did get in trouble for saying [[faggot]], because while he is allowed to say nigger, because he was told that word should only be used by other faggots. What we see here then is a never-ending [[circlejerk]] of [[HA HA HA, OH WOW|"oppressed minority groups"]] gating others (especially whitey) from using a bunch of words like they have exclusivity over them.

Much like the Niggers, Arabs and the Jews, autists hate it when people use their disability as an insult or a joke, they end up going to extreme cases as bitching and moaning on the internet by saying that autism isn't an insult or a joke, not knowing that their words aren't being heard. Considering that we just hear screeching instead. Truth be told, most autists don't actually have freedom of speech. Because they can't fucking talk.
