@Stefan_S_from_H @rticks @rbreich In the U.S. it is unconstitutional to restrict someone's speech even if they are rich. Even without that, I think free speech is important for a functioning democracy. @rticks @Stefan_S_from_H @rbreich I think the problem isn't the U.S. Constitution or any constitution. That isn't the cause of unbridled capitalism or the fact the right is relying on lies and misinformation more and more. Democracy is the way to bridal capitalism and to set things right in a peaceful way. Walking away from democracy is not the way to a better society. Reference any tin-pot dictatorship for proof. @pyager @Stefan_S_from_H @rbreich The rules are rigged towards rural power, towards aristocracy and towards capitalism The 1789 constitution has outlived its usefulness. It cannot be patched anymore. It MUST be replaced and safeguards against Capitalism, Billionares, Fascism, Republicanism and every other ism the right stands for @pyager @rticks @Stefan_S_from_H @rbreich Yes. More democracy, organize democracy, teach democracy, organize people to have more power, democratically. And dump the fillibuster which is not invited to any party the constitution is going to. |
@Stefan_S_from_H @pyager @rbreich Unlimited Free Speech isnt.
Democracy is a marketplace of ideas
Markets arent evil capitalism is
Unrestricted lying as speech without consequences renders democracy impossible.
