When conservatives whine at you like this, just remind them that they are in a cult. When they get mad at you, accuse them if 'censoring' your free speech.

Du hast mich gefragt

(Actual conversation)

Freedom loving conservative™: Speak your mind it's your right to say things even if it offends people

Me: The 50k dead Palestinian civilians won't bring back the dead Israelis from Oct 7th

Freedom loving conservative™: HOW DARE YOU, YOU ARE A TERRORIST SYMPATHISER AND YOU DESERVE TO BE DEPORTED, THAT SORT OF SPEECH SHOULD BE BANNED

[–] itsnotits@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

it's* your right

Fasten your seatbelts. We enter the Hard R Zone.

[–] Brickhead92@lemmy.world 16 points 11 hours ago

Not as enjoyable as the Twilight Zone.

What's the point of these imaginary conversations?

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

It is a rhetorical device. Do you really need that explained or are you just employing one of your own by pretending to be obtuse?

[–] babybus@sh.itjust.works -3 points 34 minutes ago (1 children)

Wow, so aggressive. You political crowd is insufferable regardless of your spectrum. Just a bunch of angry losers.

🤷‍♂️

I guess you can only have imaginary conversations. That kinda answers my question, thanks.

I CAN'T SAY WHATEVER I WANT says man who constantly says whatever he wants

I don't want push back when I speak!

What he really wants with his freeze peach..

some people misinterpret "freedom of speech" meaning universal freedom of speech. all it mandates is that the government isn't going to punish you for saying shit. It does not protect a person if other people punish them for saying shit.

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 13 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

You also aren’t entitled to a platform. A website not letting you post something isn’t about “freedom of speech.”

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 53 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

Another way to say that is: Freedom of speech isn't freedom from consequences your speech elicits in others.

[–] RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com 14 points 13 hours ago

Freedom from government censorship, not freedom from societal shame.

I have written a memorandum that punching of nazis shall not be prosecuted if the person punching a Nazi is a sitting anyone.

I have also decreed that, by the laws of there no longer being laws, you may also slap, kick, purple nurple, spit on, or cause them to cry for mommy in any way seen fit in the process of de-nazification

[–] BlemboTheThird@lemmy.ca 2 points 12 hours ago

My bet is it's a trick to justify themselves to their dumbass fanbase later on. "They censored us for years, now we're in power it's only fair that we get to arrest people who criticize us!"

[–] Kintarian@lemmy.world 66 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

You mean crazy, hateful, transphobic racist ones?

[–] DemBoSain@midwest.social 29 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Why are you being so divisive?

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 10 points 12 hours ago

I'm just going to assume this is sarcasm, because otherwise, my hope in humanity starts wavering

[–] Kintarian@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Let's see, the conservative Christian right just voted in a nasacistic tyrant twice. They want to declare America as a Christian country. They want to abolish the separation of church and state. They want to teach creationism in schools. They want LGBT to register as sex offenders. They want to remove books from schools and libraries they don't like. They want to immediately execute every death row inmate. I'm not sure why I'm pissed at conservatives.

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 8 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

They want to abolish the separation of ~~church~~ Christianity and state.

FTFY

Watch how quick they backslide when a group supporting Islam or even Church of Satan ask for their dogma to be back by the force of law.

Really sounds like they want to make USA a region of russia.

Trump loves Putin

[–] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 20 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah this isn't even going to be close to reality in about two months.

[–] SuiXi3D@fedia.io 37 points 13 hours ago (3 children)

It isn’t now. Go watch a science video on Facebook and read the comments. Every time I report all the idiots, and every time Meta decides not to remove the blatantly hateful, false information.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 11 points 9 hours ago

dude I keep forgetting Facebook exists until someone talks about it in present tense and it gives me a little surprise. it's like someone saying they looked something up on askjeeves

[–] BlemboTheThird@lemmy.ca 6 points 12 hours ago

I don't use Facebook but I find that on YouTube people will spout blatantly awful bigoted takes and any kind of response I make, no matter how much I try to clean up the language, will get shadow deleted

[–] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 5 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

I don't have a facebook account for that and a myriad of other reasons. But I agree I am lagging culturally because of it. I'm sorry that I get that way on here when I get all wound up.

[–] SuiXi3D@fedia.io 2 points 13 hours ago

No, you’re fine, I was trying to illustrate that it’s already, and has been happening for quite some time. I wouldn’t be on Facebook at all if it weren’t for my family. I absolutely detest what sort of drivel is allowed to be posted there.

All humans are equal, some are more equal than others.
