    You say that as our politicians at this you say that as our politicians at this very moment are claiming that those opposing genocide are advocating for genocide.

        How do you not know it is not that way it is the other way. The right will get a pass unless they’re in opposition to the ruling party, the left would be surppressed.

        It is already like that, giving the administration the power to illegalize speech is beyond recklessly ignorant of the situation even before this shit show we have seen in the modern era from the end of Obama until now. Or we could say even from bush until now.

          giving the administration the power to illegalize speech

          Why would we give trump that power?

          I mean, we could give him the power to illegalize nazi speech specifically. That would be fine. I bet he wouldn’t use it.

          I don’t think you’re thinking about this strategically. If you were playing magic the gathering, does hurting your opponent’s life points mean they get to hurt yours now? Do you have to lower all your defenses so they can get a turn? No. We don’t have to illegalize leftist speech either.

          If they ever try to, be very angry.

            The administration already accuses non-fascists of being fascist, bad faith anti-Semitism allegations to a much higher degree than everyone else, and Biden was pretty bad himself. The man endorsed near blood libel against Hamas claiming he saw the evidence of 40 beheaded babies, that was not true and disprovable in real time, and he never corrected himself.

            I do not play Magic the gathering, but I do follow current events enough to know that our politicians would accuse non Nazis of being Nazis while they are nazis or refuse to oppose nazis.

          I’m a tad uncomfy with it myself, and eager to hear a better idea, but outlawing fascism is preferable to fascism.
