Same shit as 2016, different venue. A naive implementation of free-speech values says that they should have a chance to talk, but bringing understanding to the mix reveals that they don't also value free speech, and their speech suppresses far more than it promotes.

I think I saw a post about how punk bars have an absolute 0-nazi policy because there isn't a real between a bar with nazis and a nazi bar. Other people will leave, nazis will realize they're safe there.

Did you know, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's only mandate is to ensure the safety of nuclear power, not to promote its implementation. Many regulatory bodies have a dual mandate to stop them from just shutting down what they're supposed to regulate.

That's what Lincoln said! America's enemies point to slavery and use it to call the ideals of liberty lies.

While all that is true, not letting people leave is involuntary servitude, and only the government can do it, and even then only through due process. You have a right to leave your job right now. You can talk to your manager of you want to, but you don't have to do any more work for them.

Because we promised to help them, and Ukraine deserves independence.

We supply Saudi Arabia with missiles that hit school busses, we should at least also help protect a democracy from being re-colonized.

Putin's Russia is cruel and exploitative. The best thing we can do as a world leader is help a smaller country stand up for itself.

Best-case scenario? The ACLU picks up your case

And the fight continues. The founders were so far down, because basic freedoms for everyone is 0, and we have to fight to get up to that point. The founders negotiated a freeer society, like you said able to modify itself, and the general arc of soiety seems to be the expansion of freedom for the average person.

One day, we may even be able to eat without justifying our food through labor!

Yeah. Raising the bar on how profitable a company has to be is the middle step here that connects raising interest rates to shittier stuff for us.

Before, in the era of free money, you just had to be good at looking shiny to stay afloat, and companies that didn't look shiny got left behind. Now you have to be actually functional.

We've arrived at the future we were borrowing from for the last 15 years.
