I, in a sense, am more against free speech than I used to be.
I want good speech to be incentivized and bad speech to be de-incentivized.
In the 50s you had obsenity laws. Nothing wrong with that.
The liberals idea of free speech is blasphemy, perversion, subverting truth, etc.
True free speech would be philosophical discussions on political issues, ability to criticize the government in reasonable adult ways, rather than burning flags or other stuff.
The ability to reason together in churches the Bible without being told by the government what the correct application or interpretation of the Bible is.
Free speech works for moral people with some amount of control over their tongues and a mind that is at least semi-rational
Leftists "You just want to take the speech WE say away, you're not about free speech".
Well, yeah now I am leftists. Didn't use to feel that way. But since you can't talk like an adult you lose speaking privileges.
It's like this scene from Boardwalk Empire "You sorta talked me into it"
When the communists are out of the country or you get criminalized for being a communist, and American citizens are not a bunch of overgrown children or weak effeminate men, then yeah, free speech is back on the table.
Like John Adams said "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other"
Likewise, freedom of speech when wielded by immoral and irreligious people becomes the megaphone of insanity. When you get called a nazi for stating that men are men and women are women, then it's time to stop letting the loonies run the asylum.
In reality, all that you need to have freedom of speech nowadays is still have public humiliation like being put in stocks where people can throw vegetables at you if you are advocating "transgender" ideology. That's really not an extreme thing, and yet in our pansified world, we'd never implement it. That "punishment" is way lesser than the crime.
You put someone in the public square in stocks with rotten vegetables thrown at them and they'd be embarrassed for a while and they'll remember that moment and it'll have a corrective effect....you teach children all this Marxist nonsense and you screw them up for life. Which is worse?
If that was the consequence for obscenity, then you'd find a lot more people hiding their twisted views.
Its really a very simple solution, no need for stockades or anything like that. There is only one group of people that aren't good faith citizens of the country and it's the group the guy in the OP is a part of. Remove them, all this shit goes away.
