Fight me

Ok.

The First Amendment protects you from being persecuted by the government for your views. It does not protect you from a fellow citizen beating your ass for being stupid, nor should it.

You have a right to free speech, and I have the right to call you an asshole for it. I don't have the right to beat you silly, but it's not a constitutional issue.

No American should cheer for violence against others for their beliefs. You'd be singing a much different tune if the tables were turned.

Damn. Okee just fucking turned the tables right back around. Someone has been watching Tucker.

You know, with all this "clash of civilization" theory goin' around, I figure it's not much time before memes become valid intellectual weapons.

It's literally there, the easiest way to set up a strawman.

And yes, I'm being intentionally vague on referring to "Islamist" propaganda or "Islamaphobe" propaganda because I don't want to deal with a wedge issue driven so deep up the nation's ass that it doesn't even hurt anymore.

Also, free speech is always free when Poe's law is thoroughly abused.

First of all, you were just cheering for lamppost hangings last week my friend.

Second, I'm not stupid enough to go out and "protest" what anybody else is doing. That's not "speech", it's inciting a riot. Those people were not sought out and assaulted because off their beliefs. They walked up to a massive group of people, started some shit, and filmed it for attention. I fully support the beating of their asses.

First, I can't cheer for lamppost hangings when said hangings are not occurring. If they were, I would view that as a breakdown of law and order and step in to prevent it.

Second, walking around with signs and chanting slogans is exactly what a protest is. Protesters being attacked is illegal. Get the fuck outa here with that inciting a riot bullshit. Those people were not assaulted. You need to find a dictionary. Assaulted is being visited with physical force, which those people were not. Assaulted is what happened to those protesters who were definitely assaulted with physical force.

I'm a high schooler. Even more hellish.

But seriously, if you want to set up the idea that Western and Eastern civilization are incompatible, you might as well support it with a theory on internet echo chambers.

There's probably some Saudi Arabian forum arguing about the exact same thing.

I think you've been watching too many prank videos.

But then again, these days no one actually wants to convince each other anymore.
