Y’all have those book bannings, right?
And that makes the image being censored ‘okay’?
Nah it doesn’t but I’m pointing out how the bastion of freedom that is the US ain’t as free as people like to think :)
Well, book burning is kinda dumb because most of them, if not all, are already digitized. It’s a statement at this point in time. While really stupid and backwards, expression is still a right and freedom that Americans enjoy.
This is unlike other countries where you can be thrown in jail for something even lesser and never have a recourse or trial.
Who said anything about book burning? Expression isn’t a right that all Americans enjoy - teachers in Florida can’t tell their students that they are anything other than straight CIS people…but freedom, amirite
Of course they can. They might get in trouble or even fired. But they can still say whatever they want. They are also protesting on both sides of it, too, as is the right. The great American discourse.
That’s like saying you can murder people but there’s consequences - let that sink in bro
Nah. That’s a strawman argument there. Killing someone is not equivalent to saying something offensive or burning books.
