So shut it down. Why defend free speech when it upsets you so much?
free speech is to be so hateful
Free speech can also educate, inform and entertain.Quote:

False information, which could have been nipped at source by responsible agents for the platforms, alleged that the man (17 at the time of the incident, now 18 ) who murdered three young girls in a dance class, was a Muslim who crossed the channel on a boat the previous year and claimed asylum -the consequence was a series of attacks on hotels housing asylum seekers, some actual violence against persons and property, and a barrage of hate speech; all lies, but fanned by 'the usual suspects' -Nigel Farage, 'Tommy Robinson' et al. In fact, the person who killed those girls is English, and not a Muslim, though he has evidently had some fascination with the violence of al-Qaeda which may help explain his actions, if not his motives.
The truth is out there, it all depends on whether people value truth over lies, no matter how uncomfortable that might be. If in a free society we all have the right to be offended, do we not also have the right to be defended from citizens who wish to cause us harm?

Someone can be English and a muslim, although extreme islamic doctrine puts their religion above any state loyalty.
Which is why Roman Catholics were persecuted in Tudor times -to whom were they loyal? King Henry and Queen Elizabeth -or the Pope?Quote:

Jewish Nationalism in Israel now means that the law of the State gives National Rights only to Jews. What rights do non-Jews have in Israel? Can Judaism, or any religion be compressed into a 'Nation'?
Christian Nationalism in the USA, currently a central pillar of the forthcoming Trump administration, seeks to create separate classes of citizen, where Christians will have rights, powers and privileges other citizens do not. Christian citizens already are shaping school curricula and access to books based on their religious views, regardless of whatever it is the Constitution says.
The US Constitution has been the foundation of an open democracy since 1776, flawed though it has been, subject to amendments as it has. I don't think the new Trump Administration believes the Constitution is anything other than an historical document, and will effectively dare other US citizens to prove it wrong when it does something contrary to the law -assuming that the Supreme Court then supports Trump rather than the Constitution, albeit with some sophisticated reasoning that real scholars will question.
Best to leave Religion out of politics even as we see it being inserted all over the place. Consider Nietzsche's cynical remark- 'There was only one Christian, and he died on the cross'.

Sure...
It's the dems under biden-harris and obama-biden that were shredding the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th and 10th amendments for 12 years.
87,000 new IRS agents - for what???
Raids on rep homes while biden gets a courtesy message a month out so he can move / hide the classified docs.
fbi & irs targeting parents and church organizations

To this wild set of accusations I would suggest evidence, but a quick search reveals the usual suspects have itemized what they think are violations by a man who used to teach Constitutional Law. In this case, one notes your accusations, but I think giving them a pass will balance out the boll from the wheevils. Even as we write, Trump is violating a basic principle of the Transition that none other than Justice Scalia insisted was essential for the maintenance of American democracy.Quote:

And you are excited by something Obama did ten or more years ago?
Calling Colonel Gabbard a putin asset shows just how bigoted you really are.....
I guess that depends on how you define 'asset'. And it is not about me, but her, and the wider implications for the NATO alliance, which you may nor not support.Quote:

In fact, the labs are public and part of an international effort to control outbreaks and stop bioweapons.
Gabbard, a military veteran and a former Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii, later said she wasn’t accusing the United States or Ukraine of anything nefarious and was just voicing concerns about protecting the labs.
But to critics in the U.S., including lawmakers in both parties, the comments showed a disturbing willingness to parrot Russian propaganda — a tendency that has earned Gabbard praise on Russian state TV.
Gabbard’s past comments supportive of Russia — as well as secret meetings with Syria’s president, a close ally of Russia and Iran — are attracting fresh scrutiny from Democrats and national security analysts who fear that as Trump’s director of national intelligence she could give Russia a major win, undercut Ukraine, weaken U.S. national security and endanger intelligence ties with allies.".

"Even before Gabbard left the Democratic Party, ingratiated herself with Donald Trump and secured his nomination to become director of National Intelligence, she was known as a prolific peddler of Russian propaganda.
In almost every foreign conflict in which Russia had a hand, Gabbard backed Moscow and railed against the US. Her past promotion of Kremlin propaganda has provoked significant opposition on both sides of the aisle to her nomination.".
