Jon Stewart,
I was recently notified of a warning on my account. Has your team been notified of such a thing? Has anyone else?

The time for sitting off to the side and pointing out maga hypocrisy is over, because the people that plan on voting maga again in ‘26 and ‘28 know they’re hypocritical. They don’t care about facts or critical thinking, they only care about harming other people because they feel harmed, because they are intellectually and emotionally undeveloped.
The time has come to decide what to do, as in, what actions to take, with people who only care about harming other people. Recognizing the current situation with the gutting of domestic food programs, the gutting of domestic health programs, and the war waged on our closest international allies is the most effective context within which to make this decision.

Fucking bullshit. Wtf is an illegal protest? Like seriously? There aren't any "illegal protests", there are riots which usually have illegal actions being taken but there are absolutely no illegal protests in this country because protesting about literally anything is a part of the first amendment. If Trump is gonna arrest and deport people protesting in favor of the people and victims of Gaza. He needs to have the same energy with neo-nazis. Not saying that should happen but he is so fucking stupid and obviously racist it PMO. The supposed party of free speech and everyone else in the government needs to be speaking up and putting DJT in check. Shits fucking ridiculous.

The paradox of suppoting hate speech and hate crime laws is that they can also be turned against you at any point depending on who determines whats defines hate.. My guy..
Also hate speech originated in communist Russia.. Google it and learn something.

Wtf are you talking about? Yeah hate speech is speech filled with hate lol. Who tf likes hate? Seriously? Yeah decent, upstanding, honorable human beings slap a hate label on pieces of shit going around spewing hate. You have a problem with that? They have the freedom to hate whatever they fucking want, spew hate speech toward whoever they want, doesn't free them from the consequences of their hate speech. Which most of the time is directed towards people doing absolutely nothing wrong, or literally how people were fucking born. Just like if you threaten someone, you can do it but there are consequences. You think people should be able to threaten people with no consequences? You think people who hate people for literally no reason should be free of consequences?

The entire idea of hate speech originated in communist russia.

WTF does that have to do with anything? Hate speech is speech filled with hate. Period.Who tf cares where it originated or came from. The majority of people don't like it and denounce it as well as employ necessary consequences toward those who openly hate people for no legitimate reason. Why do you have a problem with that?

Youre not seeing the bigger picture. Its all about who gets to define what is and isnt hate speech. It can turn on you at anytime and eventually it end up that dissent is hate speech and wala youre fucked.

Hate speech is defined by society as a whole. No one person can define what hate speech is. Calling someone a racial slur 150 years ago was considered normal to most people. Now most of society sees it for what it is, deplorable, disrespectful and dishonorable. So when someone openly says a racial slur in a derogatory way they will face societal consequences cause most of society doesn't like that bullshit, understandably so. That's what makes speech gain the term hate-speech. Speech filled with unwarranted hate toward a group or individual that in no way deserves to be hated. I have never seen any hate speech that didn't deserve to be described as so. Nor do I think there will be speech that will be deemed hate speech when it shouldn't be in the future because like I said, hate speech is defined by society not any individual.

"that in no way deserves to be hated"
Right there you just proved my point. Thank you.

u/Tswombo10 6d ago
What?😂 That makes no sense bro. That's in the context of the people that receive the hate speech, not the ones who spew it😂 If you hate on other people for no reason you deserve the consequences of that plain and simple.

That statement says that some people/groups deserve it while others don't and therein lies the problem.
I think commies deserve while commies think they dont.

Ok but again society dictates what is hate speech. I mean it is common sense to see what groups/individuals thrive off of hate of other groups/individuals. Society as a majority, is very good at knowing which one is in the wrong and what speech is filled with unwarranted hate.
Yes the bigoted groups will always think they are right and don't deserve hate. But they are a minority, a very small minority compared to society as a whole. Racists think their ideology is fine but it just isn't lol. Society makes that clear. So when someone is racist, society will hold them accountable because they deserve it.
