Haven't evoked any of that (tho' I'll keep the Bill of Rights if you don't mind--- sorry you find that sweater too itchy, comrade). No, what I've said is that people should be able to tweet a harmless observation about a piece of law under debate in their country--

-- and not lose their job. But again, YOU have made it clear that if you offend an obnoxious fringe group, not only should you lose your job, but your life as well.

I never killed a racist nor do I condone racists being killed but if a racist does get shot you can't force me to send flowers to the funeral The fact that you can't, in fact, IS FREEDOM OF SPEECH

The fact that you confuse race and religion makes you a perfect liberal. The fact that you raised a fist for the murderers makes you a perfect a-hole.

Arthur doesn't conflate being Muslim with being a person of color. White people do that. Constantly. Recognizing that white people turned "Muslim" into a racist dogwhistle isn't equivalent to actually using it as such.

White people have institutional power in American and Western European societies that people of color do not. Insulting white people for being white people is not equivalent to insulting people of color for being people of color. You can't "bully" someone more powerful than you.

You are jumping the rails here. Do you even remember Charlie Hebdo? Do you want to stan for Islamic terrorists the way Arthur is? I feel like they would not be a good fit for you.

And you can absolutely bully someone more powerful than you, if they forget they are more powerful. Food for thought.

Of course! Take the issue under discussion: the trans movement is incredibly aggressive yet extremely marginal. Online, their power seems far greater than it really is. When the worm finally turns, it will be a sandworm of Dune.

Get Dune out of your mouth. You do not get to co-opt a story about a marginalized group of indigenous people throwing off the shackles of imperialist oppression to make your argument that trans people are icky and you should be able to say so out loud without reprisal.
