Free speech? What is that Grandpa?

Journal by Runaway1956

"Hush child! Free speech is the reason you grew up without a grandma or your mommy or daddy! They all went to the Utah camps for demonstrating against the Democrat Party!"

Geeez, people, too bad we didn't have a disinformation board in the McCarthy days, huh? All those commies and socialists could have been put into concentration camps. Those radical black activists could have joined them. All the gay activists, a bunch of feminists, the free sex cultist hippies, and all the druggies. Don't forget the illegal aliens!!

    Simply put, I don't think Runaway is posting in good faith. He's not sticking around to discuss anything in these journals, just posting fear mongering articles from sources that are highly biased. This uses loaded language, and is offensive for implying that efforts to limit the spread of disinformation are equivalent to the Holocaust. Also, remember that the right is pushing to repeal section 230, which will have a chilling effect on free speech. And it's the right that wants to ban critical race theory from being discussed in schools. But Runaway's journals are only directed at the left, which shows that these are just politically motivated hit jobs. I support that Runaway should be free to post what he wants in his journals. I support his free speech. I am just warning that these journals aren't being posted in good faith, and it leads to toxic discussions. Don't expect productive or meaningful discussion in Runaway's journals. If you choose to post anyway, you do it at your own risk. Be warned.

    Ya don't say! Gee, ya could have knocked me over with a feather!

    Thanks for the warning. I feel like my eyes have been opened. I shall now proceed with renewed awareness.

    It's her journal, and she can post in bad faith if she wants. Also I remember her declaring at one point that she sexually identifies as a Black trans lesbian now, so we should respect her pronouns.

        That would never work. How could anyone bite Runaway's head off when it's so far up his (her?) ass it's getting a facefull of what great-grandpappy Runaway, all four of them, ate the night before they died?
