Your solution to the federal government infringing on first amendment rights is for the federal government to continue infringing on first amendment rights?
I hear you but when one side refuses to follow established law and suffers no consequences, it’s playing a loser’s game
It will be fucking ugly but we probably have to finish the civil war since it was allowed to fester and grow and here we are in 2026 with a mockery of a government system.
Continuing on and expecting something to change in a completely rigged game is insane .
I just double checked the first amendment and try as I might I couldn’t find the word “individuals” anywhere. I did see “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press” though.
If you want to control speech you’re no better than maga. I dont care what kind of excuses or justifications you come up with. You and all the other authoritarians can fuck off.
You’re an authoritarian for advocating congressional infringement of speech. The only difference between you and MAGA is the justifications you come up with.

not the OP but i don’t agree with your premise.
Fox has broken the social contract and as Popper pointed out, if you allow. intolerance to prosper, you get… an intolerant society.
Who do you trust to make the decision on what speech is acceptable? I don’t trust anyone to make that choice for me.
Yeah just let FOX do their thing, it’s going great so far
You’re claiming that large corporations should have first amendment rights?
I’m claiming people should have first amendment rights. Corporations are a collection of people.
And we circle back to exactly the sort of dipshit rationale that has fucked the us over for so long.
Corporations are not individuals. They do not get the rights that humans do. The end.

Probably because they thought nobody would be stupid enough to expect that it applied to organizations.
You’re just essentially arguing that citizens united was a good thing. Which is reprehensively stupid.

Lol. Fuck no. I’m an authoritarian for disagreeing with the logic that brought us citizens fucking United?
Man, Lemmy is remarkable today.
