      "Free speech" is chanted by fascists up to, during, and even after they take yours away.

        yes and? so are democracy, humanity, diversity, bravery, love, and fat dripping cocks. fascists lie. they obscure. that's their whole deal. the nominally antifascist strategy of just letting them have the run of the symbolic terrain has been a series of unmitigated disasters, which have only become worse with the advent of the internet.

          I wasn't even disagreeing with you. I was warning that letting anyone have their way under pretense of free speech leads to nightmare legislation like this. It's part of the paradox of tolerance.
