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.
This has been the perfect Lemmy conversation because you finally circled back around to negating the point that you originally made and have been defending so vehemently.
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.
I checked the first amendment again and nope, still doesn’t say anything about individuals. Still says “Congress shall make no law”.
Your pal trump, who is currently abridging the ABC corporation’s right to free speech using essentially the same rationale as you, is going to lose his lawsuit.
Don’t you have some books to burn adolf?
I also don’t think birds should have free speech. Fuck those guys.

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.
You may be right. Corporations may actually constitute individual people, given your willingness to suck their dicks.
Corporate entities are not individuals and have different rights and responsibilities.
