There's also a possibility I forgot your name, in which case, my apologies.

I've started threads praising cops. Have you?
 
I oppose banning. Free speech, ftw.

If you oppose banning, you oppose the banning of Homer, which means you support reporting, which means you are against free speech. <seedat>

Sorry for making you feel bad.
 
I actually agree that, regarding Holocaust denial, people should be free to make idiots of themselves.

However, given that you fancy yourself a staunch conservative and ally yourself with the most reactionary, and frankly unprincipled, members of the right wing, how do you feel about conservative precedent with regard to free speech issues?

In the past, Conservatives have been terrible on the issue of free speech. Both Liberals and Conservatives are hypocrites on this issue. Right now, Liberals are the ones clamoring for censorship, so I'm understandably more concerned with them.

Throughout American history it has been, as you know, liberals who have protected free speech and conservatives who attacked it. Conservatives politicians jailed, and then conservative jurists tried to maintain the jailing of, anti-war activists, socialists, union advocates, communists, and civil rights activists, in addition to (in my opinion) less serious persons like pornographers, adult entertainment providers, and sexual liberation activists. It was the liberal Warren Court that made great strides in making sure persons like Eugene Debs and Dalton Trumbo would not be systemically punished for their speech, but before, during, and after the Warren Court, conservative politicians and jurists have repeatedly tried to cut back on speech protections whenever it suits their reactionary sensibilities.

I don't like everything the Warren Court did, but I do agree it was great for freedom of speech.

Even today, after the advancements made by liberals, conservative jurists pose a considerable threat to free speech, most evidenced by the despicable fucking holdings in Holder v. Humanitarian Law Project and Garcetti v. Ceballos (the latter of which I believe @Quipling, or it may have been @BKMMAFAN, described as the worst Supreme Court holding in decades).

I don't agree with every Conservative. Some so-called Conservatives I views a boot-licking statists. Any Conservative who praises Robert Mueller or sidewalk police executions is IMO inviting the Devil to dinner. But thankfully I see many Conservatives are finally coming around on the issue of speech.

Lastly, just as a brief aside, how the hell do you reconcile your love for "robust public debate" with you and your side's position on campaign finance. Do you think it is intellectually defensible to define robustness purely by the amount of speech that can be produced by monopolists of discourse to the detriment of other voices? Seems to me that a 100-decibel conversation between 5 people is less robust than a 50-decibel conversation between 50 people.

I am not "my side," just as you are not "your side." I did not write Citizens United. I believe there many problems with the reasoning used in that opinion, and I would have written it differently. But the Left has benefitted from Citizens United just as much as the Right has (if not more), so IDK what you're mad about. To be clear, I believe the right to speak is held by natural persons exclusively. Corporations are not "people" in that sense, even if they are operated by people, so their spending on behalf of political parties can and should be well-regulated.
 
And my "free speech" is used to point out that you come off like a holocaust denial flirt hiding behind free speech. So, now you're going to say the words "free speech" a few more times, I guess?

Fawlty, why are you so salty?

Well, in your defense, if I was so motherfucking stupid as to call for Mueller to be imprisoned in secret, and then moments later turn around and act like some kind of advocate for constitutional rights, I'd probably be reduced to a "u mad" defense too.

You are not very smart. You're not good looking or physically capable either.
I understand. I would be salty too if I were you.
 
I have free speech but if I get together with someone else and form some sort of group then we no longer have it?

If you form a corporation, then use that form to make a billion dollars, you shouldn't be able to use your corporation for political activities. If it's your personal money, you can use it for whatever you want.

That's your opinion. Now can you provide any reasoning for it?

Thanks for the mention bro - and I'm definitely not smarter than anyone here - I highly respect you and many others around here. I'm not afraid to admit that I don't really have much of a traditional education, but did learn a lot when I had some time on my hands that allowed me to read voraciously. Believe it or not, I actually learn quite a bit from these forums - really makes me feel inadequate when it comes to the technical stuff and is probably why I gravitate towards more philosophical type discussions.
