I find white supremicists disgusting. I oppose those who call for the destruction of someone based on their race.

Gonna go listen to cop killer. Still available on Apple Music.

You're talking about Eric Clapton, right? Or Carole King? (Well, her song was just about an attempt).
 
Using that logic:
So using a name that sounds good, will just forgot their actions?

Okay the Left loves socialism. And "Nazi" stood for national socialism.
So the left loves the Nazis?

Nazis: An actively progressive National Socialist group that much of the world successfully stopped from becoming Global Socialists. The cost was extremely high.

The problem with anyone taking on this so called hate speech, is that hate speech can be whatever they want.

Twitter is a prime example. Protecting leftists who call on violence against the president, while censoring and banning people who say they oppose gay marriage... they use hate speech as the excuse to stifle free speech and silence people they don’t agree with.

It’s as unamerican as it gets.
 
Hey trump supporters. Why don’t you start talking with your wallet instead of
So, because the internet is regulated by the federal government (and now paid for and regulated by corporations) you're opposed to the free exchange of information and ideas?

By that logic, you clearly support net neutrality then right? I don't know what you're getting at honestly. Apple not wanting to support hate speech is not something I have control over. I don't work for Apple, I don't run the company. If Apple makes a decision to not support hate speech on THEIR platform, then they have the freedom and rights to do so. Just like the consumer has the freedom and rights to whine on MacRumors about how they feel like they're being oppressed in some way. It's quite simple really. If a company is doing something you don't support, then make it known by not supporting them.

Unamerican is really a compliment lately
 
Technically, it is censorship. It is also Apple's right to do so.

The challenge is that right now the topic of censorship is 'hate speech'... whatever that means to Apple. What's next? Religion? News outside of Apples 'approved' list of providers? Where does this end? Who gets to choose the next topic for elimination?
Does Alex Jones accept pro Hillary ads on his show or does he censor them?
 
I mean, seriously, Antifa means "anti-fascist". So you think they are schizophrenic?

Mussolini left wing? Learn a bit about history.

You really have no idea what "fascist" means.

According to Webster’s...

1often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorialleader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.

1) conservatives put individuals over the state. That’s the opposite of fascism.
2) smaller government, not a larger centralized government is the conservative view. Opposite of fascism.
3) severe economic control? conservatives want lower taxes, reduced regulation, etc. opposite of fascism
4) forcible suppression of opposition. That’s Antifa, BLM, etc... that’s your side.
 
Tim Cook is a lying hypocrite. Apple makes a fortune off of hate speech in the iTunes music store. There are countless hip hop songs glorifying violence against women, homosexuals, and other minorities as well as murdering people based on who they are.

Tim Cook made Dr. Dre into a billionaire. A sub-human piece of trash who gets off on beating up women and bragging about it minutes later.

Tim Cook needs to be called out as the lying perpetuator of hate speech that he is. Few people on this planet are as responsible for hate speech as Tim Cook.

Nope. The Nazis used the term socialism when it pleased them but they were as right wing as they come. This is an interested article about the common misconception https://www.snopes.com/news/2017/09/05/were-nazis-socialists/

So them being anti gun and abolishing the right of citizens to keep arms... who does that remind you of?

When they socialized healthcare, which of our parties is for that?

And snopes, is a joke. Might as well quote huffpo. They have been caught lying many times, they are raging liberals.
 
So they openly condemn BLM and ANTIFA and all the hate speech that comes from the Left?

Or is it like twitter where they label anything they don’t agree with as hate speech, so they can ban and censor their opposition?

Fascist is left wing, not right. Today’s fascists, are groups like Antifa. They are the brown Coats of today.

You don't really get to redefine hate speech to be "stuff you don't like" and then plant it on others. Also, you might want to check the definition of fascism...
 
I know what it stands for, and I also know they are liars. Their actions, are fascist.

Nazi’s were socialists. Mussolini was a leftist. Read a damned book.

Antifa can say they are against anything they want. The label, doesn’t match their actions. Violence, oppression of free speech, intimidation, etc... they are fascists.

Must have struck a nerve, eh?
The Nazis killed the representatives of the socialist party (the actual socialists during the Night of the Long Knives) so the claim that Nazis are socialists is complete and utter ********! Here’s an interesting article that clearly details how they weren’t socialists and how they were right wing. I guess I must have struck a nerve ;) Now get back to worshipping your effigy of Donald Trump https://www.snopes.com/news/2017/09/05/were-nazis-socialists/

I'm enjoying watching another generation struggle trying to wrap its brain around free speech, apparently raised without any understanding of the relationship between rights and responsibilities. Not sure if this is the result of the Greatest mistake, the Boomers selfishness, or the Xers apathy, or all the above, but it's definitely over for the past functionality of this country, and into entirely new territory the millennials will have to create by and for themselves.
It's a result of them growing up in largely unmoderated online communities.

For us, pre-internet, we learned that words have consequences. In the '90s, being a racist sack of **** got you ostracized from society pretty quickly. Then there's the famous "Talk ****, get hit."

(The big irony in all this crying about unfair censorship is that I can't type sh*t here, and no one seems to have a problem with that.)

Let’s have everyone define hate speech.

If you speak against a race that’s hate speech!
If you speak against a sex that’s hate speech!
If you sing a song about killing cops that’s hate speech!
If you speak against gay people that’s hate speech!
If you write an article about assassinating Trump that’s hate speech!
If you say there are radical Muslims out there that’s hate speech!
If you don’t agree borders should be open that’s hate speech!
If you say that men and women are different that is hate speech!
If you speak about not outlawing offensive speech that’s hate speech!
...And so and so on...
