He's also anti-imperialist, for legalisation, and maybe controversially on here for free speech in the sense that he thinks we should make social media 'public utilities' and have them abide by the same laws as irl public squares, thoughts on that?
I'm still amazed that free speech is controversial amongst leftist. I'll freely admit that I got fooled by the libs and their "Russia stole our elections", and one of my greatest regrets posting wise is cheering for censorship and getting called out on it by one of my former friends that leans right. It wasn't until I discovered kyle kulinski's and jimmy dore's shows and watched their videos pointing out how this censorship was used to purge leftist news sites and social media groups, that I realised my mistake.
Seeing the same cancer on this site has me worried :(
Yes this community especially should be well aware of how social media companies like Reddit will silence both left-wing and right-wing views. Being for free speech also doesn't mean you think there shouldn't be any laws against hate speech or threats for example. I'm mostly concerned with corporations deciding what's acceptable speech and the right to protest
Yeah I think Nazi speech in many cases could and should be counted as hate speech, is in many countries (Germany famously has laws against Nazi symbols and speech). There should obviously be some laws, even Kyle isn't an actual free speech absolutist, he's for threats of violence being illegal iirc

So if there were more restrictions on free speech you would prefer publically owned and regulated social media over the status quo?
