The ACLU is suing the DC Metro for rejecting a bunch of ads. Milo Yeeyeeasshaircut is the owner of one of the ads. The salt begins to spill everywhere.
77 2017-08-10 by letumblrfaec
ACLU tweets a thread explaining why they're suing the DC Metro. People take issue with Milo being one of the people they're defending (it's almost like they don't remember the last time the ACLU defended Milo).
The ACLU then tweets out a link to a blog post explaining why they're taking Milo's side, which results in people getting mad at the ACLU for "grandstanding" or glorifying the edgy frosted fruitball, as well as more threats to have donations pulled from the ACLU.
Bonuses:
Obligatory Nazi Germany reference because that's totally not worn out.
Edgy eyepatch game dev girl doesn't get how amendments or the ACLU works.

ACLU, lawyers with great experience: We defend everyone
Me, an intellectual on Twitter: un swety offensive speech isn't protected speech xx
1 uniqueguy263 2017-08-10
They defended the right to freedom of speech by actual Nazis in the seventies (people who were part of a group called the American Nazi Party, not people who were mean to me on the internet). No fucking shit they're gonna defend Milo even if he disagrees with them
1 Notthehalf 2017-08-10
FRAUD, it's intellectualist! Stop appropriating intellectualist language
1 aliceunknown 2017-08-10
The DC Metro is as high class as public transportation in America can get, they reject all trash. Literal and figurative.
1 AlpineIrregular 2017-08-10
Yes, it's a great way to get stabbed for your iPhone by a multicultural enrichment team in style.
1 Peetrius 2017-08-10
The biggest shock to me from that event was that it wasn't on the green line
1 uniqueguy263 2017-08-10
Hahahahahaha. Clearly you don't live in DC, in like 5 years it's gone from the best metro in the country to the worst Metro in the country.
1 Peetrius 2017-08-10
I think you missed the obvious sarcasm there coach
1 uniqueguy263 2017-08-10
I could see some liberal who doesn't live in DC unironically saying that
1 Lesmothian 2017-08-10
He's not wrong. As far as public transit in the USA goes, Metro isn't bad.
I mean, yes, it is objectively terrible. But have you been on BART/MUNI in SF or what passes for trains in Chicago? Metro is the Tokyo subway compared to those tire fires.
1 OccasionallyClueless 2017-08-10
I love the idea of ultra (retarded) leftists wanting to do away with free speech protections while living under an administration they are ideologically opposed to. I wonder if they see why such a protection would exist in the first place.
1 botchlings 2017-08-10
Remember, it's only OK when they do it...

Duh freeze peach will still apply to them, just not the fash who they disagree with.
Like only a white male would be stupid enough not to get that
1 BussySundae 2017-08-10
On a lesser note, they are actually mad about the ACLU representing Milo Yeeyee, that's hilarious. It's not like the ACLU is doing the work for a credibility or popularity boost. The ACLU would probably represent Hitler if it ever so happened that he had a court case that concerned them. It's not the client on trial for them, it's bigger concepts and principles like rights that are at stake. Precedence and all that.
1 Deity_Of_Darkness 2017-08-10
Why complain? Let them abolish free speech laws and let the state demolish them.
1 OccasionallyClueless 2017-08-10
Well, I'm still here.

Yes, we all know leftists fantasize about anyone they don't agree with dying in horrible ways because you're all psychopaths, you didn't have to be specific.

You're right, the word she used was "better than /u/aqouta."
I assume she was psychic since this was years before the technology for Reddit existed.

Not psychic I had just pumped and dumped her bussy and she was still heartbroken.

Dang bro, are you like 60 years old?

No, I am psychic, unlike her.

I fear for the time when they (and their children) are in positions of power.
1 aqouta 2017-08-10
They wouldn't ever put themselves in those positions because then they could he racist.
1 DudeCat 2017-08-10
They have no problem with being racist themselves.
1 aqouta 2017-08-10
It's not racism until they get power. Racism is power*(prejudice + (pi2)/melanin)
1 Deity_Of_Darkness 2017-08-10
I like how those deranged "tolerant" people are multicultural racists themselves.
1 Ed_ButteredToast 2017-08-10
I don't see you fearing for the time when snowflake baby boomers offended by the existence of blacks came into power?? Ayyyyyy
1 botchlings 2017-08-10
Why should I have feared that?
1 Ed_ButteredToast 2017-08-10
The same reason you're fearing for milennial leadership. Also your downboat really hurt me mate :(
1 botchlings 2017-08-10

1 Ed_ButteredToast 2017-08-10
Awww that's so sweet 😘
1 Ed_ButteredToast 2017-08-10
Ah the good old times when tough guys and gals got offended by niggas drinking from the same water fountain, sitting alongside in the same bus, attending the same school etc.
You could've avoided all that cringe by not including the word "millennial". Every generation has snowflakes. Some more than others like the baby boomers. Get over it lmao 😂
1 HillaryClinton-Trump 2017-08-10
Click on the link and look at the pictures of the users. They're by and large millennials.
1 Ed_ButteredToast 2017-08-10
I'm not arguing that they aren't millennials. They are a majority on Reddit. But you could only call them as snowflakes? A snowflake is a snowflake.
As I digress, let me ask you this, would you hang out with a baby boomer snowflake or a millennial one?
Personally i think being offended by skin color makes you a bigger snowflake than say by mean words. Words can do something in relevant cases. Skin color doesn't affect anyone at all tbh.

Why do people so arrogantly claim that hate speech is not free speech?
1 dogbref 2017-08-10
they str8 up believe someone being mean to an "oppressed" group is a call to physical violence which wouldn't be protected speech. like he's dogwhistling for genocide or something schizophrenic.
1 XavGrav 2017-08-10
Because the logic of their ideology is so flimsy that it can't stand up to even basic argument
The only way to preserve it is to try and ban opposing views under the guise of an ever expanding definition of 'hate speech'
1 pizzashill 2017-08-10
I mean, free speech is always under attack by both the right and the left.
If it isn't conservatives it's the leftist crazies from tumblr, amazing it's lasted this long.
1 Lesmothian 2017-08-10
That's not a big surprise. It was literally one of his campaign planks: "opening up" libel and slander laws so he could sue people who said mean words about him.
1 pizzashill 2017-08-10
Yeah, hilarious how many people supported that, forgetting the supreme court ruling and WHY our libel laws work the way they do:

I missed the part that claims furries, incels, otherkin, TRAPS, and many various sexual "orientations" and ethnic groups, must all band together to overthrow the bourgeoise.
Actually, to be fair to the USSR, they would never tolerate such levels of 'Social Justice' depravity. The USSR understood how power functions, how to maintain a massive bureaucracy. SJW's can't even operate subreddits, or make a decent movie.
1 MRB2012 2017-08-10
Because they are idiots.
1 aqouta 2017-08-10
Because they honestly don't think they could ever be wrong and think they should therefore be able to decide what speech should be allowed. They are literally that full if themselves and sure that their ideology is correct, it's the seed of authoritarianism and they're not smart enough to see it.
1 Prysorra 2017-08-10
ACLU casts "chaos". It's super effective!
1 Peetrius 2017-08-10
Why is WMATA not allowed to reject advertisements? It's their fucking trains they can put whatever ad they want on them.
1 Teresa_May 2017-08-10
There was a similar case in New York that ended with a judge ruling that the MTA had to put up some adverts people found objectionable. I think the argument is that a public institution - indiscriminately taking in tax dollars - cannot discriminate against certain groups when it comes to exercising speech. The WMATA was created by Congress, and Congress still appoints board members, so hard to say it's a separate organisation.
If it was a private bus or train service, I imagine they would be free to reject any ad.
1 Peetrius 2017-08-10
So what this means is we crowdfund a /r/drama add to WMATA asking for bussy?
1 mohkohnsepicgun 2017-08-10
if every subscriber to r/drama submitted 5% of their monthly salary we would have just under 380 bucks!
1 toynbeeidea16 2017-08-10
We had a similar case in Philadelphia recently.
1 aqouta 2017-08-10
It's public so it can't show ideological preference, if something is offensive enough to not be allowed in public spaces it's a matter for the FCC to handle not some power tripping public employee at the train company to decide to reject you because they don't like bussy or whatever.
1 Kekistanian9000 2017-08-10
ACLU's ad is literally a quote from constitution.
Milo's ad is just a fucking Milo's face.

Actually, the commies in Germany did not respect free speech. That's why the Nazis ended up winning. In the countries that did let the Nazis rant and rave (rather than bring violence into the equation), the Nazis lost. Badly.
