Does the right really support free speech?

Joe Rogan is the most intellectual person alive.
What, because he talked to some smart guys?

What was really interesting about this thread for me was that when @Syaoran Li started saying equally stupid stuff as @Austrian Conscript 1915 did in this thread, @Senior Lexmechanic decided to tear into the latter and say "shush you're making our position look back"* to the syaoran.

I used to think you were so principled lexmechanic.

Given that I'm Catholic, what position am I supposed to be sharing with Syaoran that me telling them to shut it with their rants about how God is worse than Satan is a gross violation of principle? Last time I checked, telling someone on this site "you're acting like a lolcow, cut it out" isn't some kind of huge betrayal of principles on this site. If you think I'm wrong, please feel free to explain your position as to why.

And to be fair, I kinda said those things in a state of total despair

When I took a break and calmed the fuck down, I realized just how dumb my posts were

Holy shit maybe you should take a break for a while, that's next level faggotry.

To be fair, the posts I was apologizing for would also be considered next-level faggotry.

I guess it's the discreprancy where you see two people shout like retards at each other and tell one person "hush your making things look bad" and give the other a list as to why they're "a blithering idiot".

It's the different approach that tells me you share some kind of position, even if I don't know exactly what that position might be.

It's not "we share some kind of position"- it's that Conscript taxes my patience and tends to say things I find annoying at best and morally-repugnant at worst, whereas I mostly like Syaoran and their rant about how everyone is going to Hell was very out-of-character for them from what I've seen. I suppose this is unprincipled in that I'm not acting perfectly saintly and treating everyone with selfless kindness- but then again, if I wanted to live a saint's life I probably shouldn't be posting on the Farms in the first place.

That's literally exactly what he's saying you're doing.

I'm not debating my actions- merely the idea that my actions amount to some kind of grand moral hypocrisy. Treating the people you like and the people you dislike differently is hypocritical, perhaps, but it's a hypocrisy that is shared by 99.9% of the human race.
 
Yes the right is better when it comes to free speech vs the left.
The left we need to criminalize hate speech and stop the spread of fake news. If conservatives have a rally we need to shut this shit down because we gotta refuse fascism. Shit no one lost their jobs because they called Donald Trump Donald Drumpf. But president babyhands is a thin skinned person.

Congrats you don't understand the concept of free speech. The idea of free speech is that you can say whatever is on your mind without fear of legal reprecussions ie being fined or being jailed. People can choose not to buy something from you if they don't like your speech. Last I checked the right supported fucked up policies but they themselves aren't the reason why people have been getting doxxed and fired from Jobs.
Nearly everything the "right" has been feared of doing I've seen the left do already. I don't know of any TDS people who got fired for saying they dislike Trump. I can tell you of plenty of people who got fired or nasty stares because someone said X person is alt right or supports trump.
