Oh, I'm aware. I've seen editorials like this one: https://thoughtcatalog.com/tanya-cohen/2015/04/its-time-to-put-an-end-to-anti-choice-speech/

Literally discussing if abortion makes sense is "hate speech"

I don't really care what your stance is on abortion, discussing it is not something you just ban.

why it's weirder when US either bends to the church or the crown, it should be doing niether.

It’s so stupid man

The problem is the left rejects open discussion

Oh I know. Alot of that BS floats around the various "human rights" NGOs like Amnesty International.

"human rights" being a convenient mask to force behaviors. There's thousands recognized by the UN and they are all contradictory. So the tendency is to take whatever stance is convenient for the activist class.

@NETORAREMASSACRE how's the US bend to the church? The US has freedom of religion because it has never had any truly unified church whatsoever.

And Kennedy was highly controversial because it was feared he would bend the US to the will of the Pope.

(he didn't)

Previous candidates had a significant religious slant, as far as I am aware, and so does a significant portion of the current WH staff.

The human rights NGOs have lost their vision

Like the NAACP and ACLU

AND THE OTHER ONE

Soz caps

SPLC is the other one

SPLC is a scam.

It started out as a good and effective effort.

And I think that’s why there’s so many fake hate crimes

Like feminism they need a reason to exist

But eventually Morris Dees realized it was a real money maker.

Yeah, there've been some rumors the SPLC actually encourages hate groups to pop up so they can sue them.

Kinda like some hate groups have more FBI informants than actual members.

This article is somewhat out of date. I heard somewhere they are up past a half-billion endowment and Morris Dees himself makes somewhere around 500k annually.

But even that is probably out of date at this point. The Left keeps pouring in money.

That’s nuts

How is that not something wide spread

Because you don't criticize the SPLC directly.

Unless you have nothing to lose.

It's like attacking Google. You're begging for retribution and character assasination.

That’s so fucked man

How are they able to get away with it

I mean, just look at the unions.

Admittedly, the ACLU has some relevance

They stand up for free speech

The head of the AFT attacks the principles and "the 1%" but she's pulling 300-400k last I checked.

In most cases... or at least they did

The ACLU is increasingly just a progressive arm. Which is why Tim (and I) were so upset when it more or less abandoned Free Speech.

Yeah I saw that video... I was pissed
