The ones you mentioned were not cases where freedom of speech was violated. They also weren't case where people called on something to be cancelled. So I know you only get your news from right-wing media, but if you actually fact-checked what you hear, you'd learn that Youtube and Twitter are actually biased in favor of conservatives. The Twitter hearings showed that they actually changed the TOS so that Trump could stay on the platformed. Not only does Youtube not censor the Right, but they even let insane fascists like PragerU run commercials for other videos. Nobody has a right to a platform. ROFLMAO! Do you have an evidence to back that up?

Yes, I know you're upset that Biden is fixing the economy. Republicans want to restrict civil liberties as much as they can, so much so that they decided to demonize a word that refers to awareness of injustice. All of their policies are either anti-trans, anti-gay, anti-choice, or anti-democracy. That's it. And because these policies are super unpopular with average Americans, they need to distract from policy by doing ridiculous virtue-signaling, concern trolling, and stunts like Lauren Boebert's pathetic attempt to own the Democrats on public urination.

I disagree with everyone. I've never met another socialist that I agreed with on everything, but I don't call them fascist. Again, this is a fascist tactic that people use when they can't defend their fascism. I'm all for open debate. but that's not what a fascist rally is. These people just want to march, they don't want to engage in debate. TBH, I much rather a public one on one debate where I can expose the insanity and horrors of fascism or nazism to the public. But these people know that they can't defend their ideas, so instead they just want to do marches in order to intimidate the public as well as show other fascists how big their numbers are. While I wish it was true, very few professors are anti-fascist or even left-wing. Most of them are liberals who think that "both sides" have gotten pretty extreme. I'm guessing you believe in the cultural marxism conspiracy theory. Do you think that the marxists that are trying to destroy America are mostly Jews?

I wish I could agree, but the average American doesn't follow politics that closely. Trump's attempt at blackmailing Zelenskyy so he could cheat in an election was one of the worst things he did, but most people are either unaware or don't fully understand what happened there. The average person just cares about what's happening in their day to day life. True, but Trump simps are more likely to get out and vote if they care about the actual person. It's not enough to just know that Trump endorsed them. We agree that anything can happen, so what really matters is that we vote. I just don't think the threat of Trump is gone yet. We need to treat this like the enormous threat to democracy that it is.

Nope, you're wrong again. Freedom of speech is entirely about the law. As in, you can't be legally prosecuted for speech. A private company is allowed to deplatform or fire you, even if you feel it's unfair, over speech. There are some exceptions, of course. If you're fired for talking about your religion at work, but other people regularly talk about their religion and don't get fired, you can sue for discrimination. But even there, you would have to make the claim that you were discriminated against based on your religion, which is a protected class in Canada and America. And even then, they would take into account exactly what you were saying. You can't demand human sacrifice and then claim it's just part of your religion. However, a private company can have a policy of not allowing any religion talk on the premise. Plus, if it's a religion-based company, they can have more leeway with firing people of other religions. Nope. As a private company Youtube can do that. They don't, I wish they did, but they could if they wanted to. No, because race, religion, and gender are all protected classes. Political affiliation is not. If you walk into a restaurant wearing your nazi uniform, you'll probably get kicked out, even if you claim that's discrimination.

Free speech means the government can't arrest you for speech. It DOES NOT MEAN that a private company owes you a platform. If I violate Youtube's TOS and they ban me, my freedom of speech has not been violated. As for "wokism," stop being stupid. That's a meaningless term that retards use for anything they don't like.

It's a bit more complicated. The reason he lost in 2020 was because he failed to handle covid. Chances are, there's not going to be another once in a lifetime issue like covid in 2024. And yeah, the Republicans got their cheeks clapped in the midterms, but that's because trumpian voters only care about personality. Trump can mobilize them, whereas people like Herschel Walker, Dr Oz, and Kari Lake can't. They don't have the entertaining personality that Trump has. I'm not saying Trump will definitely win in 2024, but don't write him off. And as far as the crimes go, this is still capitalist America. The rich and powerful very rarely face justice.

Do you have any evidence that most people were bullied into supporting trans rights? Nope. There have always been societies that recognized more than two genders. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_gender Stop using your ignorance as an argument.

Cool, but this is beside the point. You said that leftists are constantly trying to get people fired like conservatives do. Do you have any examples of this? Right now, right-wing media is making an effort to get David Pakman to lose his sponsors because they disagree with him. Do you have any examples of left-wing or liberal media doing this?

Where do I even begin with this one? I said Gabbard is a fascist, not a nazi. I don't use these terms as slurs like you do, they actually mean something. I believed Gabbard is a fascist ever since her support for Narendra Modi and Hindutva, which she started doing openly while she was still a Democrat. Finally, the Democrats aren't my clan. Most of them are liberals and super weak in standing up to the fascists. Of course I'll vote for them because I believe in harm reduction, but they don't exactly represent anti-fascism or socialism.

So how come they only support subsidies and bailouts for the rich? If they believe in equal opportunity, how come they're against policies that lift up people born into poverty? Shouldn't kids born into poverty have the same shot at success as kids born into wealth? Give this comic a look. It's very short, won't take you long. https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/the-wireless/373065/the-pencilsword-on-a-plate

This literal nazi conspiracy theory is wrong, "cultural marxism" is not a thing. But I'm not even talking about teaching marxism, I'm saying Republicans are banning books from libraries and schools. If you think a book should be banned from a public library just because you disagree with what it teachers, you're being authoritarian. That's not taught in CRT. CRT actually teaches the opposite, that these racial categories are artificially created in order to oppress people. White people can't be oppressive by nature, because there are no "white people" or "black people" according to CRT, just human beings with different physical features. The beliefs you have about CRT were created by Christopher Rufo, who basically admitted he was lying. He once tweeted: "The goal is to have the public read something crazy in the newspaper and immediately think ‘critical race theory.’ We have decodified the term and will recodify it to annex the entire range of cultural constructions that are unpopular with Americans." So in short, he created a moral panic in which anything bad is CRT. It's the same thing Republicans did with WOKE.

Yes, that's why I said that conservatives were against freeing the slaves, not Republicans. I don't agree with affirmative action. The Democrats only do shit like that to distract from the fact that we need real systemic change based around class and economics. But to say Republicans care about equality under the law is beyond parody. This is the party that spent years enabling Donald Trump. Yes, both parties are corrupt, but the Republicans are infinitely more corrupt. Plus, when it comes to policy, Democrats walk a line between helping the workers and helping the rich, whereas the Republicans only care about helping the rich. As much as I don't like the Democrats, they're not reactionary or authoritarian, but the Republicans are. And while neither party is run by nazis, the Republicans know that many of their supporters are nazis, so they will dog whistle nazism constantly. They may not be pushing for nazism like they're pushing for fascism, but they are normalizing both.

See, this is what I mean. Dr Seuss wasn't cancelled. What actually happened is the Seuss corporation decided to stop publishing five books out of their discography of hundreds. These books are super old, most people didn't even know they existed. There was no "woke mob" calling for the books to be banned, it was simply a corporation deciding the books weren't worth publishing anymore. You can actually still buy those books online, it's not like they've been banned. Now, compare that to Republicans using government force to ban books from public libraries. Which of these two things is authoritarian? A private company making a personal decision about their own content? Or the government banning people from renting out books in libraries and schools? Even freedom of speech has its limitations. I agree that porn shouldn't be available in schools or libraries. But saying you can't learn about Marxism in public schools is extremely authoritarian. You're basically saying, I don't agree with this thing, so it should be banned. That's what China does.

In America, they were Trump simps. In Germany, they were "traditionalists" who are against women voting, gay marriage, and gender affirming care. A super common talking-point that fascists use is "you just call anyone who disagrees with you a fascist!" But I never do that. I call someone fascist if they're reactionary and authoritarian. If a political party and its supporters are against democracy and they want to restrict civil liberties, I think it's accurate enough to say they're fascist even if they don't self-identify that way.
