Do like Disney and instead of using actual American flags, use close approximations. Any action taken against you for burning a flag with 54 stars can net you a pretty penny in a civil suit!
-
Burn swastikas. Watch them squirm.

Nah, Kamala had a stance on Palestine therefore this is the okay alternative. /s
Good thing that situation is completely resolved now /s
-
God, get over it, kamala lost because she couldn't get people to actually vote. Just like Hillary. Same shit would have happened to Joe if he stayed in the race. Kamala lost because the party fucking sucks so hard that they can't out message the fucking GOP.
The election was a year ago, stop removed about how nobody voted because Palestine. If you don't like it, fucking do something about it.
-
She was a terrible pick for a multitude of reasons.
I'm convinced party leadership is on the trump payroll. You can only fail so much before incompetence becomes indistinguishable from sabotage.
-
-
Two thirds of registered voters didn't vote for Harris yet some people only want to criticize a tiny sliver who were (de)motivated by a damn genocide. That says an awful lot about your priorities. I'm almost starting to wonder if this isn't an AIPAC thing.
-
This is pretty much what occurs to me nearly every time I see the pedo-in-chief or one of his criminal syndicate doing something incredibly illegal and/or something to make American lives miserable.
I wish I could find some more decent leftist content via podcast. Right now, I swear about most of the content coming out of TYT seems to be about Gaza.
We have crazies running the place, and it seems to be a race to whether the Seven Mountains Mandate nutjobs or the insane dipshits from the Peter Thiel/Curtis Yarvin wing get to decide how our democracy is carved up. Normal Americans, while the majority, don't seem to matter, at all. Gaza is a thing, but it's not the only thing. I wish that people could understand this and bring it into sharp focus.
Meidas seems to do a decent job as do a few others, but that's via Youtube. Pod Save America is sometimes okay as is Thom Hartmann. I sometimes dip into John Fugelsang. Anyone else have any recommendations for decent podcast content that isn't the all-Gaza show?
-
Trump listens to money and clout. He isn't a Zionist.
Biden is. Kamala would have been because she has no fucking spine.
Can liberals stop dividing the people when the 2024 GE happened a YEAR ago and INSTEAD focus our efforts on the current fucking administration??
-
"Had a stance' lol she's voluntarily complicit in a fucking genocide just like the rest of the corporate dems, you're just upset that you weren't allowed to trade palestinian lives for your own comfort and security
-
you’re just upset that you weren’t allowed to trade palestinian lives for your own comfort and security
Is that why I'm upset? Good thing she lost and palestinian lives are perfectly fine now.
-
Sounds like you're the one complicit in a genocide
-
And Trump fires said genocide on while Harris was still sending aid.
-
Goddamn.
I literally just started internetting today and you've already subjected me to the dumbest comment I'll see all day.
I mean I guess I can see it as glass half full. It'll only get better for the rest of the day.
Welcome to reality where politicians can't just break international ties with a geographically strategic ally because a bunch of people want to ignore geopolitics and operate 100% off their feelings.
By the way, how's Trump looking on Palestine?
-
The amount of libs down voting you is crazy
-
-
Free speech maximalism. So much free speech for the likes of The Annoying Orange; zero for any unpersons.
-
-
Correction: The Heritage Foundation stole your free speech.
-
It was a stupid way for him to word that (no surprise, literally everything that comes out of his mouth is stupid), but I just want to point out that in the context of what he's saying, what he intended to convey is that he got rid of the "freedom of speech" defense specifically for flag burning. Which... he didn't. But he's trying to by writing yet another executive order to instruct the DoJ to prosecute flag burners. Because, you know... a plague of flag burning is among the biggest problems facing our nation today.
-
Waiting for Mother Nature to take his free speech away
-
OMG throat cancer would be so nice right now.
-
Not sure if Putin's... emissions are carcinogenic.
-
-
-
something like half the bill of rights.
-
Why wouldn't he? Americans continue to allow it.
-
I don't recall allowing it. I only recall waking up every day and doing personal hygiene and getting dressed and eating breakfast and going to work and going to the gym and coming home and where the hell in my daily survival routine can I control whether or not the president of the United States allows me to have free speech?
-
You individually? No
Americans collectively? They elected the fucker. They allowed the system to degenerate to the point where a plurality could install him in a place with such extensive powers.
-
Sounds like you had a nice comfortable day. That’s what I figured.
Wouldn’t want to risk that comfort, right? Sounds like you’re willing to put up with quite a lot in order to remain comfortable.
You’re allowing it every day you aren’t a threat to them.

the gop have been soft-censoring democrat/left leaning free speech for a while, through media/Social media.
-
Democrats have been soft-censoring left leaning social media as well.
-
Oh but its exactly the same thing as people telling racists to fuck off though! BoTh SiDeS!!!
/s
-
It's also exactly the same as fact-checking organized medical disinfo or Russian agitprop campaigns aimed at a politician's son just before an election...but mah freezed peach! I should have a right to use others' private platforms to spread Confederate Party propaganda and force their algorithm to shove it into everyone's feeds whether they want it or not! FREEEEEEDOM!

-
He might think he did but he sure as hell didn't.
-
He's sure as hell trying and the supreme court will likely cosign everything.
-
-
This is free-speech absolutism, you guys!
Also, even though we are actually trying to cancel all real comedy, we legalized comedy again, because prior to Taco, no one ever punched down!
-
And americans shake their fat fists while cheering.
-
Don’t worry. We never had free speech. Here, watch: kill Trump and save us all. Ban in 3, 2, 1…
-
You do know that freedom of speech protects you from government sanctions for speech, right? Last I checked the Fediverse wasn't the government. So the moderators and admins here are free to say: "we don't want you here" and ban you and nobodies freedom of speech was hurt.
Private organisations could always exclude you from their premise, same as you are free to exclude them from your premise. That's called house rules.
-
This is Lemmy, champ.
-
I usually get banned for calling for the death of the fascist Trump… but if the rules have changed, I’m fine with that.
-
How long can we enjoy this era of federated spaces can get away with whatever because they're too small for world governments to give a shit?
I'm guessing until Ai bots can start correlating who is who based on ip and fingerprinting en-masse, but even then, it won't be everybody, and we'd just move to a "use TOR/I2P" suggestion on every instance.
-
-
Wow... Despite the headline that still took me by surprise.
The only way my free speech will be taken is from my cold, dead lips.
ICE-Agent: don't threaten me with a good time
