One of the most disgusting things a human can do and it's totally legal
Ya
Yeah, everyone got to justify something stupid or follow some agenda lol ,
Point is it should be given to those only deserving.
Yeah i honestly think there should be a limit to what you can talk about
Yeah just think like in a game, if you have unlimited coins you are not going to understand its value and spend recklessly, but if you have got limited coins then you think about where to spend- people should understand value of that freedom and talk about better things than stupid stuff or trying to use that as a weapon to create hatred among people lol
Exactly man and i don't know why it is still legal to talk about it for example someone can go and say fuck trump he's an asshole but he is obviously wrong you ask why i tell you why asshole or not trump is the one making sure you have food in your fridge ik some ppl disagree on what he's doing but he still has some respect as a leader one and as a human two
Yeah ppl just think they can say wtvr the hell they want and get away with it while disrespecting and talking down on others, like go get a life
That's the whole problem it is 100% legal with no consequences
Yeah the whole 'freedom of speech' thing doesn't make sense, it gets exploited too much
Yeah and i still don't know why is it legal ppl talk about stupid stuff or stuff they shouldn't be talking about
tbh freedom of speech is valid only if the society that we live in have sensible people and use their own fucking brain otherwise they can gonna walk right in some propaganda
Literally some ppl r stupid
I agree 💯
That's the whole idea if those none sensible ppl see that there is no consequences to what they say they will say anything and everything they can say

to ensure I haven't fallen for a propaganda is- if you cannot identify at least three arguments in support of the opposing view, you have likely been influenced and have already fallen for the propaganda
Talk to me about propaganda my religion took ot head on 
Freedom of speech does give people that luxury of talking anything they like. They can make fun and critisize political figures- it does not do much damage I think, many people don't see "someone saying a certain person is an arsehole and start to believe he/she is an arsehole". - educated people have their own opinion.
The true problem remains when it is used to manipulate as you mentioned my friend.
When people are being influenced by wrong ideas after listening to others who are trying to manipulate them, oh my now we have a big problem lol....
ikr😭
I agree with freedom of speech giving ppl the luxury of talking about anything but that's not necessarily good bc the freedom of speech policy is not limited to citizens the media could use it or news channels which is clear they would use it to make profit and manipulate ppl and spread propaganda about stuff that will help the country to take and stay on one idea the country wants many countries including the US talks about freedom but i say the US bc they influence that heavily anyway they talk about freedom and spread the idea of freedom in the US but when you look at the freedom there talking about it's pretty twisted they use freedom in things they want and will benefit them propaganda included which brings us to the freedom of speech which i think personally they use freedom of speech as a way to express how much freedom you could get in the US but it's not always good
I agree with freedom of speech giving ppl the luxury of talking about anything they want but that's not always good bc it could lead to propaganda bc the freedom of speech we are talking about ain't special for the citizens bc new channels have freedom of speech too abd with that freedom they will say anything they want and will benefit them and will make them profit many countries including the US uses freedom of speech to spread the propaganda to what they want and the reason i mentioned the US from all countries is bc the US will use anything including the idea of freedom of speech to make ppl think freedom is the US and the freedom they talk about is very twisted into what benefits them bc if someone heard freedom they will think oh the US but the truth is the US twists this called freedom to there propaganda which brings us back to the point of freedom of speech

Ok so i will send my response in your dms bc fz won't let me
Yeah nicely put my man!!
Truly it is a great power and should be used wisely.
It has two sides of the coin, it depends on the person who uses it and how they use it..
Yup news channels use it to manipulate, at the same time people with awareness use it to raise their voice and and demand justice!!
Again with the spiderman quote" with great power comes great responsibility" - we should use it for good but when people who desire evil use it, they create only hatred....
Exactly but limiting it will absolutely help bc by limiting it your putting a line like yo you can't speak of that which will make stupid ppl shut up bc there are consequences
It is an ideal and good thing I say, but executing it will come with its own problems, right now what we can depend upon is that the good people use their freedom of speech and win over the bad people....
Imagine they try to limit your freedom, even if for good- people will come up with reasons to go against that idea and you'll face one heck of a situation after that- trust me its a turmoil you'd not want to be In my friend..
Yeah but the limits we put are to stop the same bad ppl we wanna stop and good ppl can do good within those limits it ain't hard they could do it abd speak for the ppl and i see limiting freedom sometimes is very necessary even if we claim we have total freedom we don't you can't for example go around the street killing ppl why?? Bc you have a limit to what you do and you still live inside those limits happy
Limiting and consequences does make people think more on what should be done.
Give me your idea of how would you like to limit or create boundaries in this system my friend.
Alas the bad people we speak about(fake news, and other manipulators) are also working with bigger and powerful people so I don't think those on the top would limit their freedom...
It sure is a good idea though, but not entirely possible- because believe me there will be many people against it(mostly those who use this as weapon- the powerful people).
For me i can't say what freedom is bc many ppl see freedom in many way my law has different types of freedom and other types which will be long to explain bc it's complex but i agree if one day we put limits to things the first ppl to reject that idea is powerful ppl which is bad bc if the government was good it will definitely deal with those ppl and it could he any country
Yeah, mainstream representation of freedom of speech(media) is hugely controlled by powerful people, and it's the wealth and powerful people that contribute and control the country like a brain, I don't think they will abandon their assets!!
Yup you speak true about the idea of freedom, it's complex to the bone lol.
Sometimes it makes me wonder deeply about it's actual idea and are we really understanding it's meaning and purpose??.
Haha a topic for another day!!
