What do you think free speech is? “

“Manipulate people’s thoughts in this digital age”—-yeah we already have that. That happens every second on the internet. You ever been on any kind of social media? You been around ai?

Seriously, you should've recognized that a long time ago. At heart, Ville is a fascist. He's shown that time after time. He thinks his views are the truth, and no one with opposing views should be allowed to opine on this board, or anywhere else for that matter.

Moreover, he's a reactionary, which makes him especially dangerous. Imagine having someone like him in government, where he gets to decide what truth is, no matter how ill or uninformed he is on any given topic. Case in point: offering an opinion on something he didn't even see. He's commenting on something he clearly doesn't know what he's talking about. Rubio was on a completely different show. He's conflating two different topics. And yet Ville wants to control speech?

Yikes is right...

I said I read about it lou. Apparently reading comprehension is still an issue for you, and I mentioned Rubio because of what I read. Duh........ And, you also don't understand what free speech is, which isn't shocking. Carry on with your crazy.

The bolded part is hysterical. So much irony here, "Mr. I can talk to anyone"

You still don't quite understand...it's not, no one. It's you. Why? Because you post propaganda links constantly that you imply are true. They may be true to you but in the real world its at about an 80-20% clip of fiction-fact.

You wanna have fun and post away like it's the onion ? knock yourself out. Posting it, and acting like that's reality, is something different.

I know on this forum you enjoy it.

Now that you've declared your enthusiastic approval of dawn police raids to arrest people for posting memes, I'm definitely curious what you think free speech is, Ville.

I mean really, you can't have democracy without free speech. Democracy is free speech.

Rubio was slick when asked about it though. Every time I hear that guy open his mouth, the more I don’t like him. He’s a master manipulator.

Asked about what? They were two different topics. One was on Face the Nation, and the other on 60 Min. One appeared in the morn, and the other that evening. Rubio was on in the morn. He was asked about Vance's speech in Germany, which Brennan tried to conflate with Nazi Germany. The other was an interview with German prosecuters, who made news b/c they're arresting people posting memes they don't agree with.

Though similar, Rubio was not specifically asked about the 60 minutes interview, which you seem to imply. Reading comprehension? No, clear written thoughts seem to be the real issue.

kim jong un is short and fat
zelenski is a dictator
i grabbed her by the pussy

Free speech.
