Do Americans know what freedom of speech actually means? And the systemic discrimination of white, heterosexual, men.
Even the most highly seated Americans are talking about. Freedom of speech means you can say anything you like. Yes, they warn of the consequences which could be harsh but that's not enough. To understand what it really means.
When one is given the freedom to do something, what comes with it is the obligation not to do harm. Without that obligation, the freedom to do anything is meaningless. Both the freedom to do something and the obligation tied to it, inextricably go hand in hand.
But if you listen to the Americans on both sides, they're spouting these freedoms of speech with no attached obligations.
Americans don't even know the meaning of freedom, isn't that curious?
This might be because the law is in control of what people think is free speech.
Theres quite a big difference between the free speech in the US versus that in the UK. The US uses the first amendment. The UK uses the ECHR rules. Why on earth did we not adopt the first amendment on Brexit. A really stupid mistake.
But worse still, in both cases is the free speech is much like a parody of that great book, Animal Farm by George Orwell. That is, "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others"
In free speech laws, some groups within the collective are classified as 'protected classes'. That is, they need special protection within the law of free speech. By implication this means those classes who are not 'protected' are absolutely and legally being discriminated against.
So who is the class on the receiving end of this systemic discrimination: white, heterosexual, men.
And this is where the battle lies of a cold civil war which started more than a decade ago, when so called hate speech, in law, became adopted wholesale by activists to transfer power from the unprotected class to the protected classes.
And we all know what power does to people, especially those not used to wielding it. It will corrupt them without fail. And we can see this playing out daily now to the extent its become normal to sexualise small children or assassinate innocent people who do not agree with you.
The worst effect of all of this wide scale lack of wisdom and hunger for power is that across history these protected classes with new found power always get exploited by their own leaders wielding it. We've seen this with socialism and the poor working class who evidently are of no longer of use to socialism.
Today it is the LGBT etc etc class and so called immigrants who are at the advent of their own systemic exploitation.
