    Just be prepared to keep that outraged face available for when a restaurant decides to have a bunch of racist labels on their menu, and they get sued for discrimination. Have fun being the face of free speech then.

      It’s more smugness than outrage. I always knew they were lying, including to themselves, when they pretended to be free speech champions.

      If you don't take it, it can only good happen.

        It's good that you find such satisfaction in anecdotes that disprove unrealistic idealized positions that your outgroup definitely claims to have.

          Right on cue.

          President Trump announces he will be supporting legislation to jail people for a mandatory ONE YEAR for burning the American flag in the street

            What is that quote from a US soldier? Something like:

            I hate you for burning a US flag, but I fought for your right to do so.

              As most of us knew all along, the white house was within its rights to exclude the AP.

                  Wait, did he really say it's to stop inciting riots? Like, he's against that now?

                    He’s also against lying to banks to get a lower interest rate now.

                    If it weren’t for double standards….

                                      Do they even understand that now the employers can’t fire the people thanks to that statement?

                                        I take it as empty fan service, an eye for an eye smite against the dominant culture that was understood by all to impose the economic death penalty on anybody who, for instance, dared to publicly question their employer’s shiny new DEI division.

                                        Yes, it’s all a great shame for those hoping for coherent principle rather than cultural retribution.

                                        Education is extremely important.
