IT’S NOT ABOUT WHAT IS WORSE.

Jfc what do you not get? You assume everyone has a reasonable choice.

When did I say it wasn’t worth it?

You’re too privileged to understand apparently. This is the same logic that can be applied to anything that costs money. “Just save money! Invested money is worth more than spent money!” If you don’t have the money after roof and food (god forbid if you have a medical need in the US) it doesn’t fucking matter what the prudent thing is. You can’t afford it!

Some people cannot miss a day of work. It’ll ruin their lives and/or the lives of the people who depend on them. How is this so hard to understand? Help them. Empathize with them. Some blame them.

There you go showing your privilege again.

It’s not “if it’s convenient.” It’s “I will not be able to pay rent/eat/etc.”

Have you ever held a minimum wage job while paying your own bills? Be honest. Hell have you ever had a job making $12/hr while paying your own bills?

They may not be niche but they sure are a luxury item

Your privilege is showing

Careful Now

Yet you continue to associate with me after saying you want me to go away. “The power is YOURS!”

(Also it’s in very poor taste to attack someone’s cognitive ability - frankly it’s just ableist)

There’s a block feature you can make use of. Have fun!

oh honey

When did I say anything like that…?

If you’re not going to bother responding substantively then shut the fuck up about your frozen peaches.

If you want to argue about philosophy then be my guest. The problem is y’all want to have your cake and eat it too, you shift the context depending on which has stronger legs. “Free Speech” is a legal/constitutional issue when it suits you. “Free speech” is a value issue when it suits you.

So is that what you are talking about here? Free speech as a philosophical concept? Because I’m happy to dispel you of any notion that you’re entitled to people’s attention or respect.

That is not what free speech means. Free speech means the government cannot actively censor you because of the content of your speech. It’s not even illegal to use hate speech in the US. Your free speech is intact.

Do not conflate free speech with freedom from consequences.
