It’s not the subject matter, I am 100% free speech. It’s the extreme volume that hurts your ears. They preach in spots where the path bottlenecks and you are forced to walk 5’ in front of that megaphone blaring at 120 plus decimals.
I’m gonna object to the subject matter, as well. It’s just hate. It’s just small-minded, homophobic, hate-filled bullshit. If somebody posted up on the corner saying that black people will go to hell for being black and that we will all burn for accepting them being black, I would have just as much of a problem with that fucker.
Or, put another way, they can have free speech, but they can’t force you to listen to them
I had a good civics teacher years ago. Your rights end where mine begin.
I always yell “you’re hurting my ears” over and over again as I walk by. The police do nothing.
“I can excuse homophobia, but I draw the line at megaphones.”
“You can excuse homophobia?”
One is words protected by freedom of speech. The other is possible physical harm by extreme volume. Are you against freedom of speech?
The majority of developed nations have laws against hate speech; the United States is a notable outlier in this capacity.
I think it has been a significant contributor to our current trajectory toward fascism.
Right now the current leadership is using “hate speech” as a way to penalize anyone vocalizing their dislike of Charlie Kirk. It’s a double edged sword.
Cool, as long as it’s technically against the law when the Right does it (with zero consequences), then it’s worth not having all the benefits it would provide to marginalized people
decimals?
Probably just autocorrect
I clearly meant decibels. I just didn’t catch the auto correct.
Too bad it’s impossible to edit comments
If money is speech, does a megaphone turn two cents into a hundred dollar bill?
