>inb4 all speech is free speech What is CP, fedposting and bomb instructions? Those are considered exceptions to the first amendment, so why not this? Unless you believe in an all or nothing approach, then I don't see why hate speech should be legal.
Bomb instructions are threats of violence. Telling you you're a disgusting sodomite is an opinion.
Joseph Fisher
Hate speech is outlawed in every civilized nation except for America. Can you tell me why that is?
Levi Martin
Brandenburg v. Ohio, faggot
Adam Wright
every other country is trying to limit their citizens as much as possible? You do realize that dictatorships don't happen overnight, right? They're inching in closer and closer, where people won't even notice it's happening. Plus, if the people in charge want someone taken down, framing them for "hate speech" is so fucking easy.
Andrew Hall
Well, do you at least agree that certain types of speech needs to be banned?
Joseph Sullivan
I'm pretty sure I could buy bomb instructions at my local bookstore or Amazon. Free at the library too. Also the Feds and Democrats and Republicans are traitors, and traitors usually get publicly executed. Our founding father gave us guns rights with the grand vision of shooting our own government officials, which they detailed elaborately. You're right though, commies, jews, and homosexuals should probably not get the protections of citizenship.
Anthony Rogers
No. Never. To say otherwise is to be unamerican.
Jonathan Bailey
I agree with the current provisions of the 1st amendment and nothing else. Fighting words, explicit threats, real libel/slander, etc. I wouldn't consider cp "speech," rather it is illegal media. Nobody made cp to communicate anything ever.
Anything else is an illegal power grab and should be resisted heavily.
Kayden Diaz
Address his statement instead of moving the goalposts. Threats are not opinions. Like if I say you're a stupid nigger and someone ought to lynch you, that's my opinion. Most threats aren't actually illegal either, they get investigated for credibility. If I said I'm going to lynch you, nigger on this board it's not very credible vs say someone detailing their intent to do so. Nigger.
Camden Garcia
>Prove me wrong. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hate_speech_in_the_United_States The most recent Supreme Court case on the issue was in 2017, when the justices unanimously reaffirmed that there is effectively no "hate speech" exception to the free speech rights protected by the First Amendment.
Ian Nguyen
dude words are just words. They can move you, they can be powerful, or they can be hurtful. But words aren't physical things and don't cause physical harm. Therefore all speech must be allowed. Unless speech causes direct harm to your physical person, or your money, or business then it must not be regulated.
You can't regulate speech because someone hurt your fefe's. fucking faggot.
Eli Cruz
They can't be reasoned with. Realize they thought there was a global pandemic that could wipe out humanity and they actually chose to waste their last breaths talking about the virus is racist ect.
The day of the rope is seriously the only real option. They cannot be reasoned with.
Connor Adams
Bomb instructions aren't illegal doofus.
Joseph Gray
"hate speech" is a loose term thrown around to gradually lead to tyranny. If a government said "you cant say things we dont want you to say" there would be a civil war in days, instead they say "you cant say that because its hate speech" racism homophobia etc is just a cover to impose laws that allow a government to limit what people can and cant say. Then they will broaden the defnition so X is hate speech, Y is hate speech etc untill it comes to a point where criticisng politicians in charge is concidered hate speech
Joseph Edwards
>Hate speech is not free speech. Prove me wrong Because you sound like a fag and your shit's all retarded.
Austin Garcia
Yes it is, deal with it you filthy niggerfaggot. Go live in eurabia or chinka since America's freedom hurts your asshole so much.
Logan Rogers
Hate speech does not exist
Justin Lee
pic related. Now prove to me that hate crime laws arent unconstitutional, cruel and unusual, and racist.
Free speech isn't always hate speech but hate speech is always free speech. I hope that helps you understand better.
David Myers
The definition of hate speech is completely arbitrary, unlike the other things you listed. Anyone can call anything hate speech. It’s a blank check to shut down any criticism of any group for any reason.
Matthew Martin
Fuck niggers and fuck kikes like you. The holocaust didnt happen, but it should have.
Thomas Ward
Ironically, calling some countries civilized and others not is considered hate speech by many on the hardcore left. Do you think you should be in jail?
Leo Taylor
Because the US are the only country with any semblance of freedom in the world. If by 'civilised' you mean 'the police can enter your house and arrest you for having different opinions on the internet', you're a moron and you should strangle yourself
Tyler Morgan
Hate Crimes shouldn't exist either. It is applied against one demographic nearly 100% of the time when in fact they are the victims of the most inter racial crimes. It's a control mechanism used to proliferate guilt so people don't demand change in obvious problems.
Speech becomes hate speech based on what subjectively makes people offended. It also restricts what can be said under free speech. Your attempt at restricting free speech offends most of Zig Forums. If Zig Forums implemented a speech restriction policy, you'd be the first to be censored and the debate would end there.
Isaiah Jackson
A crime is a crime, Hate is a feeling. If anyone commits a crime because of hate, it's a crime. But calling it a hate crime is stupid.
Adam Price
Hate is a normal human emotion. You’re trying to ban a normal human emotion. By doing so, it brings about a culture of passive aggression and what is, essentially, secret societies, and eventually subverted warfare.
The US is designed differently and it’s better. Other countries are on a slow path to authoritarianism. The US can only go there if it gives up speech. There’s a reason it’s the First amendment.
William Young
CP and bomb instructions have hard definitions
"hate speech" is whatever the castrated faggots say it is, which is literally anything they want to call hate speech to get people they don't like shut down
your shitty ideas can't compete with superior ones without the censorship handycap
There were 9 exceptions. OP says there are 10. 1. Obscenity 2. Fighting words 3. Defamation (including libel and slander) 4. Child pornography 5. Perjury 6. Blackmail 7. Incitement to imminent lawless action 8. True threats 9. Solicitations to commit crimes
10. Stating an opinion that differs from mine.
Blake Hernandez
Yes, and they are. Like threats, yelling fire in a crowded theatre, defamation.
Crying “hate speech” 99% of the time is just code for saying “I don’t wanna do the heavy lifting of understanding a position I don’t agree with.”
Charles Scott
No you fucking nigger faggot
James Bailey
fuck obscenity laws
Kevin Morgan
i think it should be legal to mercy kill pussies like u. One good cinderblock on the head oughtt to do it! Just mercy kill u and put ur squealing hog life to an end. It's the right thing to do
