Idk what they do now

But in olden days they were hard free speech proponents

Probably the most hardcore there was in us at times

They also used to monitor demonstration

That the authorities didnt abuse law

who is ACLU helping

"ACLU helps <insert group>" ... maybe youtube willl prmote that more

They used to help anyone whos free speech rights were beeing damaged

they said trump is a friend to white supremacists

wont defend the right to bear arms at rallies

and wont defend all speech

Thats why lefties became outraged when they helped a Milo

issued a memo about amrginalized communities and structural discrimination

to what end? who are they trying to help

you need a glass half full title Im guessing...

guessing thats the kind of thing youtube promotes

I wouldent care about the bearing arms stuff but wont defend all speach means they broke the old i will protect your right to say it even when i disagree rule

yea they said some speech will hurt their values

I wonder whether there are ppl inside leaving for this

nope

they more than double membership

The speech that hurt their values is the sentence „some speech hurts our values“

20x increase in donations

principles for sale

I dont believe the old guard would stand for this

"Should people be free to choose the country in which they live?"

"In the fantasy world, we create “nations” and imagine ourselves as ongoing parts of them to assuage our fears of death, even at the cost of millions of lives in war and inane policies that lock people up for movement without a pass. "

In a way its true

But alternative is anarchy and bloodshed

in the fantasy world you have a working welfare state without borders. in the real world it's either the one or the other. well... in case of the US its neither but that's beside the point 😉

You could make it work if you got world gov

But thats not happening in our lifetimes

"In the fantasy world, we create “[private houses]” and imagine ourselves as [homeowners] to [have a safe bed] , even at the cost of [thousands] of [dollars] in [property taxes] and inane policies that lock people up for [trying to break in] without a [key]."

Pretty much

i hate that comparison but yeah
