But that’s fascists calling reality fake…

We can’t take any of them seriously. I didn’t think I had to keep pointing that out in 2023.

I meant a rational person declaring something they don’t like as hate speech.

Do you understand how crazy it is to say:

We can’t call anything hate speech, because the people using hate speech all the time call everything they don’t like hate speech

Fascists have been trying to do that forever, dont start falling for it now all of a sudden.

Yuuup. Just like they say about liberals calling for the protection of pronouns: “Genders is gender!”

So yeah, sorry, but we have to be VERY careful about any kind of “Free speech, except…” because anyone can fill in that blank.

Don’t act like this is some crazy tactic that no one would fall for. There are kids down the street from me RIGHT NOW learning about how slavery is misunderstood and it gave people lots of valuable skills.

ironically, slavery just being misunderstood is due to the “I will defend your right to say ANYTHING crowd”

Under freedom of speech I expect idiotic ideas like this to arise, what’s unacceptable is when that free speech is undermined so teachers can’t deliver the truth. Never undermine freedom of speech. This is where we end up.
