RE: Cultural Marxism Underway: 'Our entire culture is under siege and undergoing an utter and relentless social justice dismantling'
Most of our culture is left - human rights, the Enlightement (and the liberties like freedom of speech), the knowledge that there is a class warfare against the poor (to point to Marx analysis of the economic reality), and so on.
LOL Sadly progressives have declared that they now oppose freedom of speech explicitly. If you support freedom of speech in 2018 then you my friend are a racist, sexist, anti gay deplorable righty.
Freedom of speech does not include being a racist or sexist or otherwise belittling other people, and that was the case since the beginning.
If you say "shoot all blacks on sight", that is not free speech, that is you being an racist idiot.
Freedom of speech really only applies to that which is offensive, the only speech that needs legal protection from the government is that which offends, that which you would call "hate speech" is the only speech that the freedom of speech is needed to protect, no one objects to "love speech" do they?
You shouldn't say "shoot all blacks on sight", what's wrong with you, if someone did that then you would be responsible, freedom of speech is not freedom from consequence or freedom to commit other crimes, like inciting violence.
You just said "shoot all blacks on sight" but you think you should not be free to say that?
do you see how you are contradicting yourself?
No, I don't see any contradiction. You are just making one up by ignoring the context.
Just because I use the word "murder" does not mean I am one.
And no, Freedom of speech does not include "hate speech" (putting aside definition problems). Why? Because the freedom of speech, like any other freedom, ends when you are infringing on other's rights.
"You are just making one up by ignoring the context."
Context no longer matters, Papa John was called a racist because he said someone else said the N word. You said something you don't think should be allowed to be said. That's contradicting yourself.
Freedom of speech only includes hate speech, does anyone ever object to love speech? What other speech needs to be protected?
Hate speech does not infringe on anyone else's rights because there is no right not to be offended is there?
Left and right have changed over time. Originally, yes, liberals, classic liberals, were about liberty, which seems to be more towards the right now as libertarians are considered to be on the right.
