    Half of global Trump Virus deaths unreported
    "The analysis found that the U.S. still has the highest death toll of any country. But instead of the country's official toll of nearly 580,000 lives lost, it is actually over 900,000, according to the analysis. That number would put the U.S. well over the death toll from the 1918 flu pandemic, which was estimated to be about 675,00 lives."
    Whether by negligence, incompetence, or willful sabotage, Trump was able to negate over 100 years of scientific progress.

    You have a right to free speech; says so in the Constitution. However, you do not have any right to be taken seriously. You do not have any ancillary rights to be free of the consequences of your speech, including, but not limited to; rebuttal, ridicule, satire, fact-checking, or being ignored or banned. You do not have the right to coerce others into providing you with a soapbox or bullhorn. You're also not immune from civil and criminal liability for your speech.

    It's well worth keeping in mind that the last time we indulged Fascism with tolerance and courtesy under the copious banner of 'free speech'; according it legitimacy as just another theory in the marketplace of ideas, 60 million people were killed.

    Over half the US demands the government and corporations they call evil lie to them for their own protection, and a quarter of the population still insists the sun revolves around the earth. Free speech ain't nothing but a joke in bad taste, if everyone is yelling at you to shut the fuck up! A recent examination of the more popular social media websites concluded that they were significantly limiting the variety of discussions online. Recently, Facebook censored all the more reputable news from Australia, because Australia passed a law saying they could charge for websites using their videos.

    Free speech doesn't exist, when nobody trusts the truth, and our glorious leader is credited with well over 4,000 blatant lies in office. Pissing into the wind is ever to be confused with people actually communicating something real.

    You support political censorship of The Big Lie , which is an invented politcal slogan that has been no more true than The Election Was Stolen .

    Evidence backs up the "Big Lie"as a actual lie every day pal, whereas "The Election Was Stolen" has absolutely NO evidence no matter what Pillow Man or Marjorie "Jewish Space Laser" Greene claims!

    The principle of Free Speech transcends the feeble protections of an old scrap of parchment. It is the cornerstone of a Liberal society. Any threat to it should be condemned.

    Fauci says there's 'no doubt we have been undercounting' the number of people who died from COVID-19

    Big Business has been telling lies to people since the Committee on Public Information became Madison Avenue. They should have no ability to curtail the free speech of free people.

    People died in Tiananmen Square over this issue. I'll never be on the side of the tanks.

    Of course, that's how they lured all the unsuspecting suckers onto their nasty platforms. Otherwise I would make them cover their nasty webpages with more warnings than a bottle of aspirin.

    The part that you said that you don't want. The part about you being free.

    i do think usa has a big problem with determining and realizing the fact that hate speech is violent and our culture has been steeped in it by design. which is why a lot of people identify as "radical" when theyre not blowing anything up or actually doing anything radical, they just actualy believe in not being huge dickheads and theyre informed about the problems the culture has
