      In the 80’s we did it on sight. No talking just fighting. I think we did a good job of pushing them back in their holes for a while… but like roaches they always come back if you don’t keep them in check. And NOBODY is keeping them in check these days.

      Your first comment here was about denying climate change. I see you are continuing to contribute hot takes to this community.

          You’ve made like a dozen comments with your account and most of them are embarrassing. Not a lot to review there. Trash comments from someone with trash opinions

            Dude replied to me a couple weeks ago too. Maybe lemmy is small. Maybe he’s an unhinged loser. Probably both.

    Just don’t complain if you get fired for being at a BLM protest/rally. Not a Nazi, but historically this tends to go both ways.

    If you use your freedom of expression and your fired it’s your fault? I really don’t want to play devil’s advocate, but if you don’t break any laws (including not using banned symbols) you shouldn’t be punished. Of course the moment you attack someone or something like that you should be.

      Then you fundamentally don’t understand what “freedom of speech” means. It means that you’re allowed to say what you want without the government stopping you or punishing you. It doesn’t mean there won’t be consequences for what you say or do, as there should.

      It’s always been like this. Even in the 80s you could say what you wanted, but you were expected to know and accept that, socially, there would be consequences. It’s only recently that this stupid idea of giving everyone a free pass to say and do whatever they like, no matter how hateful or asinine it is, came around, and it’s not helping anyone.

      If you’re a Nazi and people and employers decide they don’t want anything to do with you, then it’s not their fault, it’s yours. “But who are you to decide who’s right and who’s wrong?” moralists will say, as if a history of oppression and genocide wasn’t enough to determine such an ideology is wrong.

        Freedom of Speech is a concept that exists outside the US Constitution.

        Edit: Why am I being downvoted? God this place is just like Reddit in some ways.

          You’re being downvoted because you’re trying to be clever, yet your comment makes absolutely no sense, nor contributes to the conversation. It’s literally described in the first amendment and many more state and federal laws. But let’s pretend it wasn’t, since the definition is vague. It is indeed mostly a social construct. There are still going to be consequences, just not legally. That shouldn’t change and people shouldn’t expect it to change, otherwise the world will become even more of a shithole than it already is.

      If we weren’t talking about a hate group that openly and emphatically talks about how they want to kill minorities and subverts legal systems to deny women and minorities their rights, among other things, I would agree with you. But we are, so they got to go, yesterday.
