Howdy do fellow gamers
James Bond is now supposed to be a woman? Is that for real?
Yeah.
@wilbee10091 Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but try Frederick Douglass (black abolitionist/civil rights activist in US in 1800s) - Specifically his essay "A Plea for Free Speech in Boston" that directly challenges Antifa-style attempts to invade, shout-down, and prevent speakers they don't like from speaking. It's startling the parallels between the means employed by those supporters of slavery, and the supposed progressive activists of today.
I'm not sure the essay itself is that groundbreaking by today's standards. It hits the standard moral foundations of free speech that we're all familiar with. The part that makes it interesting to me is the author: A black abolitionist. The exact type of person advocating for the exact kind of cause that progressives should embrace. However, those same defenses of free speech he employs, are now considered "racist dog whistles" by many progressives today.
If you're looking for something more contemporary, look into Brendan O'Neill. He's an author at Spiked who gives some pretty passionate speeches in favor of free speech - including a lot of historical context for why it's so important. He's a free speech absolutist who even gives reasons why we should be very careful about even carving out exceptions for incitement to violence - After all, is telling fellow activists that "We've got to go on the offensive in order to take them down!" a call to arms? What about "They won't know what hit 'em"? Or "We've got 'em in our sights!"? If someone gives a speech in the run-up to an *election* that contains such euphemisms, and someone listening to the speech goes and commits an act of violence, should the speaker be arrested and charged with incitement?

Can somebody try sending a superchat with just the word "bitchute" right now just to see if you get an error?
So it actually happened.
Apparently.
How dare these far right media companies give a platform to such hateful ideas, CNN should be pulled off the air for aiding racism. <:thinking_clown:590855640268668928>

"Yes, you're-you're left out of pride, 'cause it's for LGBT people. I'm sure you can find something else to make you interesting, my guy."
I wish gay people could find something other than their sexuality to make them interesting, too.
Berkeley is fucked
Well now they are shadow banning text messages......
Love how we just sit back and watch while they keep taking more and more power.
If we want to stop this shit we NEED to be able to have our fucking voices heard.... we NEED FREE FUCKING SPEECH!!!!
When are people going to fucking get it already???????
@desert hamster yes the longer AOC stays with her mouth hanging open with stupid comments, especially when she doesn't even know the basic rules of law in this country.. the more she helps Trump in 2020 right along with the Jihad Squad.
@Gizzelle the longer she says stupid shit, the lower her poll numbers will go (until it hits a small number of fervent supporters), so she has honestly everything to lose by calling out Trump for stuff he says
(She knows less about Economics than ME, and I took a year of Macro and Micro AP classes in HS)
@Gizzelle i agree
but why did you ping me?
@desert hamster I have no idea what you're talking about. I don't know how to Ping people I don't even know what pinging is
I probably did it though LOL

Because that's what we do here in the states when we're directly answering someone back from their statement
