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   This has been the perfect Lemmy conversation because you finally circled back around to negating the point that you originally made and have been defending so vehemently.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

                  Corporate speech doesn’t apply and is restricted all of the time

                  Why? Because our rights protect people. Corporations should be classified differently.

                  Btw, I’m now ordering the restriction of free speech for autobots. And you cant stop me. Lol.

                    If you want the government to act without limits entirely based on vibes you must love the current administration.
