Today marks the 10th anniversary of the Charlie Hebdo attack, where Islamist gunmen killed 12 people in response to the magazine's controversial cartoons. So, naturally, we should all share the cartoons on X, highlighting the importance of free speech and the right to satire.
"Free Speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences." Yes. It does. If the consequence of speaking against the government is a jail sentence, you're not free to speak.
The right to free speech is more important than the content of the speech. ~ Voltaire
Muslim man tells fellow Muslims: “The world is scared and worried about us, and they have legitimate reasons. Stop using the word Islamophobia and look in the mirror. Ask yourselves why most terrorist organizations are Muslim.” Brave guy!
During the Black Lives Matter rioting and protests, it was considered entirely legitimate to ask what lay behind black anger. But today, it's apparently illegitimate to ask what lies behind white anger. I think many people see the double standard.
"Nobody has the right to live their lives being protected from offence or from insult or from hurt feelings. It is an occupational hazard of living in society" "If you really can't take it, become a hermit." It feels like a good time to post this.
LONG LIVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH. Who’s with me?
Freedom of speech is the bedrock of democracy. If the truth is suppressed, it is impossible to make an informed voting decision. The degree to which freedom of speech is being undermined around the world is extremely alarming.
On 23 August 1989, approximately two million people joined their hands to form a human chain spanning 690 kilometres (430 mi) across the three Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, which at the time were occupied and annexed by the USSR. Many people can't get to…

Again, therein lies the use of consequentialism for a right that is deontological.
"Slaves can choose to be free. They can choose to run from the plantation. It's their fault for not running away, when they could freely choose to escape."
What is it you want me to think about?
What is freedom of speech? Without the freedom to offend it ceases to exist.
Goebbels was in favor of free speech for views he liked. So was Stalin. If you’re really in favor of free speech, then you’re in favor of freedom of speech for precisely the views you despise. Otherwise, you’re not in favor of free speech Noam Chomsky
For clarity: Inciting violence is NOT Free Speech Hate Speech is NOT Free Speech Sending false or threatening communications is NOT Free Speech They are all crimes Criticise, as much as you like, people for WHAT they DO, but not for WHO they ARE
Rioting is an abominable thing. Stealing, looting, and the damaging of property have been excused by swathes of liberal commentators over recent years as an essential form of speech; a way to “speak truth to power.” This is never right and punishment for violence ought to be…
George Orwell b. 25th June 1903 Writer “Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.”
"It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere."
A good description of the UK police
