    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.

      Lol. Fuck no. I’m an authoritarian for disagreeing with the logic that brought us citizens fucking United?

      Man, Lemmy is remarkable today.

        You’re an authoritarian for advocating congressional infringement of speech. The only difference between you and MAGA is the justifications you come up with.

                You’re entitled to your opinion. But here in reality, the first amendment doesn’t apply to birds. It doesn’t apply to corporations. It doesn’t apply to people. It applies to Congress, and describes things that they are not allowed to abridge. If you hate the first amendment so much, petition to change it. Nobody can legally stop you.

                  It doesn’t apply to corporations.

                  This has been the perfect Lemmy conversation because you finally circled back around to negating the point that you originally made and have been defending so vehemently.

                  Nice work.

                    Bullshit, I’ve been consistent. The amendment applies to Congress. It prohibits the government from restricting speech. It doesn’t specify whose speech. They’re not allowed to restrict anyone’s. If you ever bothered to read it, the wording makes that pretty clear. All 10 amendments in the bill of rights are structured that way.
