@Noahpinion Just curious how long your podcast with Sam Harris has been in the works? I suggested you as a guest on his show when he launched his message board back in early May.
🚨BREAKING: The Secretary of Homeland Security just admitted, on camera, that he is going to violate your First Amendment right to free speech.
He said, “I have ZERO tolerance. If you verbally assault our officers… we will find you, we will arrest you.”
Except… that’s not how the First Amendment works.
Unless someone is making a credible threat of violence, speech… even rude, angry, or insulting speech… is still protected.
That’s the whole point of a free speech clause… to protect the people from situations where those in power don’t like what’s being said.
So, when a top federal official starts framing “verbal assault” as something you can be arrested for, without clearly defining it as an actual threat…
It stops sounding like protecting officers, and starts sounding like a government trying to silence people who speak out against it.
@Pin__Terest@alexwickham@HackingButLegal Don't accept any deal; just keep droning the shit out of them and take out Moscow with missiles while you are at it. Fuck Russia
@JonathanGo19861@DKThomp Left out of the discourse is that yes, population decline is a bad thing for how our CURRENT society is structured, and no one wants to propose what a society can evolve to given the constraints of fewer people.
