(15,314 posts)It's not just feeble nonsense. People's lives are directly affected and destroyed by what you deem feeble nonsense. Your willingness to concede the format of reasonable debate is easy to see when you make it obvious that you minimize it. It's obviously not a concern in your world.
While it is true that everyone is protected by the first amendment, even hate speech mongers, it therefore does NOT follow that everyone is entitled to all platforms and that everyone must willingly assent to give them over, even to hate speech. It's as I said in another post; those who make that claim rarely subject themselves to this "nonsense" as you call it. And it is beyond the pale that one who proclaims themselves a fighter for the little people would call the targets of this hate speech intellectually weak because they refuse to do so.
