You’re the one who ridiculed someone for “believ[ing] Canada has anything resembling free speech?”

You’re the one making stupid assessment, why would I be the one providing proof?

It’s always the same with you people lol

It sure is better than “It is because I said so, and I’ll stop talking to you because you don’t agree”. Lmao

Go on then, what rights do you have that I don’t?

Lmao alright gotcha you’re just not arguing in good faith then.

You’re just stating an opinion and presenting it as an inarguable fact lol

Welp, since you seem believe that USA is #1 in free speech, bullshit seems to sort of be your thing, no?

Canada scores higher than the US in most freedom of speech indexes/rankings.

I have a feeling you’ve bought bridges before, haven’t you.

I would definitely expect the Venn diagram of neo-nazis and Karens who give trouble to retail workers to look a lot like a circle.

As long as you have clear boundaries as to what’s acceptable or not, a population with critical thinking skills will always be able to tell what’s going on.

I had this debate with a friend a while back. He said we should tolerate nazi flags because “what if the government decides the pride flag is a hateful flag”. Well, the nazi flag (at least coloquially) stands for “Kill all jews”, while the pride flag stands for “Be proud of your sexual orientation and gender identity”. One of these passes the hate speech/incitement test, the other doesn’t.

There just needs to be consistent and well thought out rules in place. If it’s the case, I’m not scared of authoritarians using the paradox of tolerance to their advantage because it’s so transparent.
