MODERATORS
Comedy is the last bastion for free speech. Our constitution's first amendment protects free speech regardless of how sensitive your feelings are or how much it has triggered your fabricated anxiety issue.
Really? There's literally no other free speech in the entire country? Guess those idiots on newsmaxx aren't still lying about jewish space lasers then.
With cancel culture being so sensitive, free speech is under attack. I disagree with NewsMax and Nazis, but they have a right to express themselves without being cancelled.
What does getting canceled have to do with the 1st amendment? You want the government to force companies to employ nazis?
I think you've missed the point or the intent of the first amenmdebt itself if you are asking that question.
As for your second question, that is a straw man argument.
I think you've missed the point of the 1st amendment if you think it has anything to do with private entities canceling people. And if you don't want nazis to get canceled but think that it's unrelated to employment, who exactly is canceling them?
Your argument about free speech and the first amendment is hopelessly convoluted with cancel culture.
I'm pro trans but I do respect the first amendment. Be who you want to be. He has an audience who loves him... BUT.. Hate should not be promoted in order to protect others... So I guess I'm mixed on this.
He’s not Lenny Bruce. This is not a first amendment issue.
