A far more egregious abuse of government power and not a peep. They dont actually care about free speech. They care their jew propagandist was fired.

Why would they? They approve.
I said this ten years ago but it bears repeating now. The left absolutely believe that they're at war with us. And they are. At the fundamental level the left is at war with normality and decency.
Anything that hurts normal people is a win for them. Anything that curtails their goal of giving freaks and deviants free reign, is a loss.
Once you understand that, you next need to understand that they don't think of words like regular people do. To them words are a magic spell. They just have to get the sequence right to get their prey to submit.
These two things combined are summed up as follows. Bad faith.
Treating them like other players at the game is a mistake. Treating them like neighbors and fellow citizens is a mistake.
Their boos mean nothing, we've seen what makes them cheer.
Yeah. Putting a bullet through our throat in front of our wife and kids for saying "there are only two genders".
All this talk about Kimmel is just to distract from Charlie Kirk. It seems to have taken the temperature down.
The right needs to ignore any discussion about Kimmel. The left does not care they are hypocrites so there is no point in discussing.
If I hear one more retard harping on about “muh Kimmel’s free speech” I’m going to lose it.
I’m sick of explaining to them that the dipshit wasn’t fired for dissing Trump or Charlie Kirk or MAGA - he’s been doing that for almost a decade, it’s his entire Schtick.
He was fired for actively lying to the American public about a police investigation into a public shooting… you know… the very same thing they prosecuted and sued the living fuck out of Alex Jones for (yet another example of their hypocrisy).
But yeah whatever, expecting a lefty to acknowledge their hypocrisy is like expecting an apology from a woman 😐👍
Let's not fucking forget that the FCC was the primary reason for why the right had no presence on FM radio or television.
Rush Limbaugh is considered a hero on the right because he used AM radio to get around the FCC and major radio stations engaging in political censorship. Prior to Rush, Newspapers had long been homogenized politically, television was sealed shut, Conservatives were being pushed out of Hollywood, and William F Buckley was keeping the right from having alternate voices in Magazines, especially if they were further right than him. Conservatives were already locked out of FM radio, and were basically doing the equivalent of pirate radio, or like the John Birch Society: were mailing broadcasts to people in catalogs they had to sign up for. Seriously, they were saying "like, share, and subscribe" before it was a thing because that's all they had. Rush realized that the big corporate radio stations and the FCC were going to start shutting down AM radio, and he decided to run his show on AM because it was a gap in their knowledge. He got smaller AM broadcasters to adopt political radio because he was basically the only voice in the country for conservative speech. That turned into a multi-decade, career long, battle with the FCC that spent the rest of his life trying to silence him.
The FCC was also trying to prevent Fox News from growing, as (like Rush) it was literally the only conservative voice on Cable, and like a lot of early Fox programming, they were taking huge risks to compete with the goliaths of CBS, ABC, and NBC. Fox wanted conservatives because they felt it was the only real way to compete against the monolith of the traditional broadcasters. CNN was invented to challenge them just on news, and originally, it also included some Conservative voices to bring in the money.
This is the first fucking time since the fucking invention of the FCC in 1934, that it has ever been used to challenge the Left in any way. AT. NO. POINT. in 91 years has the left been called out by a regulator for just making shit up from whole cloth (disinformation), nor have they been challenged for actionable defamation.
You want free speech? Beg for it.
They don't even know it's happening.
Like Graham Linehan, famous guy, lots of their listeners love IT Crowd - NPR didn't even mention he had been arrested or why.
The most they've maybe heard is some snopes-like "conservative are saying the UK is arresting people just for saying bacon comes from pigs. fact check: false, nobody has been arrested for saying bacon comes from pigs" to prime them to dismiss it without doing any research on their own.
Ignorance is no better than malice when it comes to politics, especially with how easy to find the information is and how they all seem so politically motivated
About 3,500 people every year, and not a peep
because they want to replicate it here.
Well the people getting arrested for mean tweets are peasants and beneath them.
The UK arrests more people for social media posts than Russia by a factor of 10. Now granted if your a big enough pain in the butt the FSB will bust in a 2AM and drag you off to some Soviet-era missile base in the arctic circle to never be seen again, but the numbers are still very lower.
During covid Australia passed a law that said law enforcement can use a persons social media without their permission, and the person is the one that does to jail. This shit has been happening for a while.
They agree with it. That's the insane part.
