Well the comic is actually not so bad, the problem is people think that the spirit of anti-censorship is bad now. They view the first amendment as something they begrudgingly have to support and censorship outside of it as a good thing.
nb4 some burger starts bleating about how the First Amendment is the be all end all of free speech. No, dumbass, thats a protection from the government, not the definition of free speech.
Freedom of speech isn't freedom from consequences.
How can someone be this stupid? Freedom of speech is entirely meaningless without freedom from consequences. If freedom of speech isn't freedom from consequences then I can say that China has amazing freespeech and the consequences are just the government kills you
That's sexual harassment you dweeb. Telling you not to shout at workplace about how niggers are subhuman chimps that should be shipped back to Africa is not.
What you said isn't false but don't deny that what I said is. Your statement bares little relevance in the fact that employers being able to fire whenever and whyever is retarded. Yes I picked a massive overstatement but where do you think we are?
No, that's the first amendment. Freedom of speech is a fundamental human right that exists everywhere, like the right not to be murdered or enslaved. The first amendment is a promise by the government not to pass any laws that violate that principle. You don't have to get the government involved to violate someone's freedom of speech.
The freedom isn't "defined by the Constitution." The freedom is mentioned by the Constitution. If you punch someone for their speech you have violated their freedom of speech. Here's a lawyer who can back me up:
Lol okay. You are wrong, and the right to free speech is specific to the government regulating said speech. If I I smack you in the back of the head like a black mom when you forget to get the chicken out of the freezer, I'm not violating your feeze peach. You're stupid, and uninformed.
They are not the same thing dude. This is grade school shit. Assault is illegal, yes. But not a violation of your first amendment right. You're seriously retarded.
Its not like these people over night turned into insane extremists. Its just what happens when you have 95% of the population voting one way, and then you have the media dialing up the "the other side are literal racists" narrative.
I'm sure there was a similar mood in red areas during Obama's presidency, the opposition partisans really do lose their minds for some reason when they feel like they are on the "outs".
and then you have the media dialing up the "the other side are literal racists" narrative.
When you align yourself with literal racists you are either a literal racist or you're complicit and supporting literal racists. The media didn't invent that fact.
As a left leaning person living in Seattle, I love it. There's nothing better than when the place you live in has literally millions of people that agree with you politically. I just wish we could finally chase out the remaining right wing shitstains back to eastern WA.
Seattle is full of people who moved here from the hinterland hometown where they had hard time in high school, and now they practice extreme left politics as a way of signaling that they are better than the backwards losers who they left behind.
If you guys could do a better job of keeping them contained over there that would be great. Port Townsend is already overrun and I fear the rest of Jefferson county is soon to be infested.

Sarcasm and flippant behavior represent contempt, which is the opposite of intellectual integrity. You seem like a real fool of a human.

Apparently, leftists support censorship from corporations.

It's not censorship if the people being blocked and banned are bad people

"Ackshully the first amendment only says the government can't censor you"
Oh well shit I guess I'm okay with political radicals using blackmail and physical coercion to silence people then

maybe we could round them up and put them into secluded little towns where they can do manual labor or something
1 rudest 2018-07-23
Part of the problem is that they already live in secluded little towns, but all the manual labor moved to China. So this but unironically

No, the First Amendment is specifically a block on the government attacking your right to free speech.

It’s still assault and violates the principle of free speech, which you retards are too dumb to understand
