DESTINY WROTE: "Unreal, elon musk and other conservatives just got me banned from twitch. My entire income is gone now. So much for the party of free speech."
FAFO, libshit. Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences. Wishing that conservatives need to be “afraid of getting killed when they go to events" is evil. Reap the whirlwind.
1st Amendment keeps the GOVERNMENT from stopping you.....doesn't say ANYTHING about the public square.
This! ☝🏻Clearly, no one in the last several generations has had a legitimate civics or history class because no one seems to understand what “freedom of speech” means. Freedom from prosecution by the government, does not mean freedom from consequences in your every day life. If I say something vile the government can’t prosecute me, but my employer sure as heck can fire me for it, or a school can expel me for it, etc.
Thank you for this eloquent summary! So tired of people not understanding that the Constitution primarily applies to government action. It rarely, if ever, applies to actions by companies/organizations/people in the private sector.
