    Let’s hold people responsible for what they say by violating freedom of speech.

    Little Jimmy injured himself trying to fly like Superman, so we must hold those media execs responsible by violating freedom of expression.

    Nah, shit argument: mere falsehoods do not incite imminent, unlawful harm. The time to discuss & criticize that speech before acting is unbounded. Any harm is the own doing & responsibility of someone failing to exercise reasonable sense of challenging unsound information & sources.

      You keep sounding like a maga snowflake that doesn’t like when their words bring them consequences. It’s fine tho, I understand that you are not equipped to understand the nuances of freedom of speech and its limitations.

        Calling anyone who doesn’t oppose free speech MAGA (a straw man or ad hominem fallacy) isn’t serving you. Mere falsehoods do not constitute violations of free speech limitations (eg, true threats, defamation, imminent lawless action). Try respecting logic.

          You are trying to debate something you haven’t read in the first place. And you ask me to “respect logic”. I mean… try respecting logic?

          You just seem offended by something you simply refuse to read, which is very much in line with what MAGAs do. As I said, you are not ready to discuss the limits to free speech and the concept of “consequences to what you say”.

            You are trying to debate something you haven’t read in the first place.

            I refer you back to

            You don’t need to explain your delusion that critics didn’t read your comment.

            Everything else you wrote was addressed.

            concept of “consequences to what you say”

            Right: criticism, condemnation.

            Those taking ill-advised actions causing actual (not imaginary) harm must bear the consequences of their actions, not anyone else who didn’t make them do it.

              See? But you didn’t address anything because, by your own admission, you didn’t read my comment. So you don’t even know what you are criticizing. You are just butthurt because someone dared to defy “your freedom”.

              Just admit that you don’t want responsibilities for your words. That’s it, that’s all you are saying. And that is a very MAGA thing.
