warp freedom of expression right back around to include freedom of hate
Reactionaries have been playing this game since I was in grade school. The Young Conservatives of Texas, notably on the UT college campus, had all sorts of immigrant hate events they’d run every year or two. And when someone would inevitably object or try to intervene, they engaged in a collective scream of martyrdom over their First Amendment Liberties.
None of this seemed to apply to the LGBTQ organizations, the anti-war demonstrators, Muslims, or the union organizers for staff and faculty, of course. You have the right to be a Nazi and nothing else.
“Tolerance of intolerance is intolerance” applies here
I’ve always preferred the Inglorious Bastards approach to fascists.
You’re invited to make your views known. And the rest of us are entitled to brand you with them.
Went to a speech by Bill Clinton and the Dalai Llama. By my (very distant) memory, both were dildo free.
I didn’t have time to fuck with the Riechwing trolls who came around campus starting in 2005, cause I was already a super-senior and just needed to wrap up a couple credits to graduate and get on with my life. Anne Coulter and her successors were already in my rear view mirror.

and you are not immune to consequences of being hateful, that is something that ESCAPES white supremecists/neo nazis/conservatives.
The dildo protests were fun tho. Were you there for those?
I think I was a little early for them.
