    The lame-ass libs in the comments checks out, but I also looked at the article and it gets bizarre. Feel free to correct me if I am misunderstanding. But the fascists might have been showing up to support the event that was “gatecrashed”. As the person giving the speech and the event itself seem to have been anti-trans anyway. But the TERFs get completely glossed-over and the lawmakers are pissed about the hateful fascists only. “These laws are part of our unwavering commitment to challenge antisemitism and hatred whenever it occurs.” Just an amazing level of contradictions being shown by liberals/conservative-liberals.

    You do realize that free expression requires that you permit things as reprehensible as racism, transphobia, homophobia right? You’re literally doing the “Well I dislike it, so I’m revoking their rights” thing. I frankly don’t give a shit what they “call for” unless they’re trying to incite imminent unlawful acts. The crutch for the weak-minded and stupid is asserting yourself as the only moral and political authority and pretending that this will not immediately blow back up in your face. If being an actual liberal with principles is right-wing, then I guess I’m right-wing. It’s better than being a spineless succ with no principles and who thinks liberty is removing the liberty of others.

    they just SAY it!

    holy shit am I tired of ‘free speech absolutists’ showing up to defend Nazis and literally nobody else

  • Idk about y’all, but I like it when the fascists are stupid enough to out themselves to the world.

    My thoughts exactly - I want my enemies to have a uniform to be pointed, named and shamed at.

    remember in world war 2 when the Allies defeated the nazis by naming and shaming them?
