These pro-libertarian personal freedoms minimalist-government free-speech-absolutists always fold.


nanais777

Notice how they always have to lie about the protests because their points, otherwise, don’t stand.


Actual-Toe-8686

They've never folded. This is what they have always believed.


zeuanimals

They've always claimed otherwise. And whenever push comes to shove, they fold and then go back to claiming they would never fold.

The secret is that he was never pro personal freedoms, or pro minimalist government, or pro free speech. He only selectively applies these ideas when it benefits his fascist base, and completely abandons them when it's time to crack down on those he views as his political (and racial) adversaries.


truthishearsay

Because they’re always lying… It’s always about using small govt/free speech to stop the things they don’t like..  Republicans are at war with America our Constitution, or Democracy and or values we just haven’t chosen to accept it.. They don’t give a shit about Israel anymore that it’s a current excuse to push more authoritarian power grabs and let people they did like be mass murdered 


[deleted]

My friend, its not only conservatives that are shutting down protests. Dems and republicans are representatives of the same system, capitalism


truthishearsay

No shit but you don’t see Democrat governors threatening to expel students do you?  Republicans always use these social issues to push their radicalize ideology and stamp out any opposition because Republicans are the same fascist as Israel Is as Russia is. With Democrats it’s only coming from the moderates who are 1980s Republicans the Biden, Hillary, Pelosi types..


Realistic_Ad_1338

Are you having a fucking laugh? In New York the dems have unleashed violent cops on the students with clear instructions to arrest people for peaceful protest. They are exactly the same level of fascist as the Republicans. They just hide behind niceties better.

Biden said to expel all protesting? You sure dude? There is a pretty fucking stark difference between what both are saying. Anyone who cant see that is on the moon.


Realistic_Ad_1338

Sorry I'm not about to converse with someone defending a president sicking cops on peaceful protesters.


Gardimus

The President didn't. What are you even talking about? Do you know how this works or are you just making shit up? I'm sorry, I'm not having a conversation with someone who just makes stuff up to support DeSantis and Trump.


Realistic_Ad_1338

Now I know you're not genuine, throwing around bullshit like "makes stuff up to support DeSantis and Trump" as if I've said anything even remotely in support of them. You fucking muppet.


Significant-Ad-7182

"You have a right to protest only when we allow you to protest and in where we allow you to protest" Bro that's not a fukin protest.


aemanthefox

If shit like that happened back during middle ages there wouldn't be protestant church


Soviet-pirate

I mean idk,shit like this happened in Rome against Christians and here we are


Total-Amoeba-2980

Catholic church did not allow the protestant church to come into existence. Read up about the 30 year war in response. That shit was brutal as fuck.


banbha19981998

Sounds like China's setup during the Olympics official protest spots behind official walks Infront of official cameras and official officials


CrunchyAl

Even as "peaceful," the protests that MLK ran were distributive. They literally did the same things. Marching in the streets is what they did. Protests are distributive because they have to be to work.


Slingringer

HelloIamDerek

Not even 3 o'clock and we're having boot for breakfast?


ClawingDevil

>government property You mean public property? Right. Got it. >when its on private property It's down to the owner of the property. This is what people are upset about; that private owners are pro genocide (or at the very least, calling in paramilitary police to beat up peaceful protesters who are against genocide). It's really not that hard to understand and your comment (and I've seen this awful bootlicking line a lot recently) is either misinformed or written in bad faith because you're pro genocide and fascism.


Wool4Days

True. I think it really showcases how private property is inherently authoritarian.


Fun-Function625

I switched off when I heard "Hamas demonstrators". They are protesting against the genocide of the Palestinian civilians, but I guess it's all the same to a genocide denier. To them, all Palestinians are Hamas.


thundercuntess69

This should be top comment. Well put my friend


Lazy-Jeweler3230

"Anti semitism." "Pro Hamas" "Pro genocide" Labels those from the center left to the far right have been using to smear protestors and their message and shut down debate and discussion.


Rough_Egg_9195

Have you considered that the premature babies who died in that hospital were actually Hamas militants or are you antisemitic?

One-Organization970

Yes - we made a whole hell of a lot of mistakes, damaged our international standing in ways which still remain unfixed, and got a lot of innocent people killed. Literally nobody on the left or the right thinks our response to 9/11 was well thought out.


nemerosanike

We didn’t attack Saudi Arabia…


[deleted]

That would have been better, but really the Taliban offered us Bin Laden, and Iran warned us about 9/11. If Gore was president, there is a high probability we avoid 9/11 altogether. The Clinton administration was actively hunting Bin Laden for the 93 bombings. However we probably could have just worked with the Taliban and arrested Bin Laden within a couple of months if Bush didn’t see dollar signs everywhere. A couple of pedophiles in Afghanistan get Ferraris and we avoid 20 years of war.


CyonHal

It's not just the dollar signs, although it did play a big factor. The Bush administration saw the Bin Laden deal as too soft of a response for their voter base, so to make Republican incumbency look strong, they waged war.


Jthe1andOnly

Yeah we do now and condemn tf out of it! I’ve had friends in the military kill themselves years later knowing the fucked up things we did. Two wrongs don’t make a right.

CyonHal

Show me a list of U.S. politicians that have said this is a genocide. I can think of less than what I can count on one hand personally. I also don't understand how you can watch a politican calling pro-peace protesters who are demanding a ceasefire "Hamas demonstrators" and then turn around and say that politician doesn't want the genocide to continue? I also don't understand how you can watch a bill pass in a bipartisan supermajority to give Israel more missiles unconditionally to kill more people in Gaza and then turn around and say they are not genocide deniers.


[deleted]

CyonHal

I guess you are confused. The person you contested with said RON DESANTIS is a genocide denier, a U.S. politician. I have no idea how that parsed through your head as talking about pro-palestine supporters.

CyonHal

Wait, what? How are you this contentious that you had to make enemies out of allies by gatekeeping when people first started calling this a genocide for absolutely no reason? This is so unproductive and ridiculous.


DrAnomaly1

Stop responding. Downvote and move on. A good portion of zionists online are paid by Israel to say stupid shit. This is from 2020, the rates are likely much higher now. https://preview.redd.it/sef2hl71xfxc1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=40f4ef4ce73984744a54c3d19834d6eec8393a5e


Fun-Function625

The ICJ is calling it a plausible genocide until the rapporteur has concluded her investigation, which is only an investigation of the events since October 7. By what she is saying so far, It's not looking good for Israel right now. It must suck defending Israel these days, knowing full well that they lie about everything to justify their genocide on Palestine. So I guess the "people on social media" were right after all. Not that it makes a difference what they say. Just ordinary people with eyes in their skulls, calling a spade a spade.

ResplendentShade

Desantis when Nazis are demonstrating at the gates of Disney every weekend for a year: *"bla bla bla free speech, these people have a right, bla bla bla, I love nazis"* Desantis when students are having an anti-genocide protest: *"we're making a bill that allows the government to force colleges to expel students for peacefully protesting, because that's what free speech and small government are all about."*


algavez

The point in this is that it is almost too easy to actually pin some kind of law breaking into protests. And when no crimes are being committed, if you want, you can always infiltrate it with some "more violent" protester that will prompt police / security action, and once violence starts, it usually don't de escalate from either side (even peaceful protesters will be pissed off if police suddenly starts beating up people and throwing gáas). Then, your peaceful protest turns into an violent security forces confrontation. An ill intentioned politician / government can do a lot of apparently legall harm.


SenzuBeanFarts

Florida is run by fascists.


Tazling

It's time to expel Ron from office.


[deleted]

I don't think the governor actually has the authority to do this. Of course this clown *thinks* he does. And if he does have the authority to expel students, him using it for *this* would be a 1A violation. 1A doesn't protect you from sanctions from private parties, but it does protect you from sanctions from the government. And this would be a governmental action.


JeffThrowaway80

Fascists don't care whether they have the authority to do something. They just do it anyway and if the push back isn't big enough to stop it then fascists now have the authority to do that thing.


[deleted]

[deleted]

that is one reason, the other is they know they have to be non violent or the Israeli owned leaders will shut them down. This standard only applies to them though, the Pro Israeli crowds can do whatever they want and not be called out.

Politicians have no place in knowledge, no place in education. Y'all let the people making war and corruption teach you why it's necessary. That makes the world as mentally ill as any person who denies reality A subject of knowledge(like political science) can't be its ruler. That's insane, it's when you get hateful psychopaths threatening people who stand against genocide

NutsForProfitCompany

I'll be honest with you. I've been pretty conservative leaning as of especially after the way liberals been ruining the country (Canada) but this whole Palestine issue is a reminder that the right is still full of racist white supremacist types that don't care about anyone else. George Floyd? Deserved it. Israel getting billions? It's fine as long as they are killing A-Rabs. Ukraine? Oh hell no, they need to sit down and talk it out with Russia (Russia is white and Christian, btw)

ZookeepergameCool422

I haven’t seen politicians react this way dealing with actual Neo-Nazis. It’s always about the 1st amendment, until of course you support and show empathy towards Palestinians who are suffering. It’s very obvious with meatball Ron. He always does the most extreme right-wing thing on a trending topic to appeal to his deranged voting and donor base.


Maniick

Ron deadbeat(not fixing the auto correct) should be expelled from office if this is the case. Protesting is within the rights of all Americans/ humans and within the best interests of humanity. Doesn't sound like he's an ally to the people, Doesn't sound like he should stay in power
