Idk, gonna be a very hot take, but I like my beliefs challenged and believe that everyone deserves a voice

The world came together in WWII and decided that Nazis didn’t deserve a place at the table. There’s a difference between “let’s decide whose economic policy is more useful now” and “hey I want everyone to have a nice life and these guys think a large chunk of the world doesn’t deserve to live at all.”

Nazis had a voice once, and folks listened to them. And we ended up with the Holocaust.

Might be controversial but I don’t believe that people who want to murder minorities deserve a voice. I feel like that’s a pretty reasonable bar to set lol.

It’s not controversial at all. The only people making “controversy” out of it are the ones who are mad they can’t spew hate

The problem is, this isn’t just a challenge to beliefs. This is the internet. The darkest most depraved shit that can exist… does. People forcing children to do things with animals… I’ll stop there…

The U.S. constitution supports free speech. Even it has limits. You can’t yell fire in a movie theater and not face the consequences of injuries your speech causes.

You in fact can yell fire in a theater without being arrested. It depends on the context (and weather or not there where injuries)

If the play calls for it and an actor says it. Or more simply if the theater is on fire.

With speech laws it matters more what the context is to the intended audience than what is specifically said.

Deserving a voice is in no way the same as deserving an audience.

Fascism isn’t an ideology that gets defeated in the marketplace of ideas. It’s core belief is enabling a small minority to violently destroy other lives. It’s not worth your consideration.
