This guy calls himself a libertarian?

That sounds about right. These days, a lot of so-called libertarians are just potheads who never grew up.

Again, libertarianism has nothing to do with your whiny nonsensical post.

I know - you're the guy who sits there during this conversation and asks "where is the state action?!" as though you just solved a new quantum mechanics problem.

Anyone with a brain cell or two realizes that free speech isn't a concept solely governed by a political body. It is a value that a society must hold in high regard if it is to remain.

The first part of your post is pure gibberish. I don’t know what you’re trying to say.

Nobody is taking away your free speech ya fucking idiot. You can say whatever the fuck you want. Quit playing the victim, makes you sound like a bltch

Should we start a Kneeling 2.0 thread? Another NFL season with endless discussion on something other than football.

Unlikely

Anybody care that a President fired tear gas and rubber bullets at protestors?

And that Trump tweet is as predictable as a bad sitcom.

That player video must have woken the Commish up.

Of course. It’s extremely fucked up. The bigger problem is the millions of people that support that action.

Its pretty much over though. Just the spirit of it is done, and I dont see any way to save it that doesn't involve letting go of it completely.

Yep.

This whiny bullshit is pathetic. Free speech is still only in jeopardy by the police and government. You’re free to say whatever the fuck you want to your fellow people and they’re free to think you’re an asshole. Your response to that will to be to whine about groupthink. There’s always been groupthink. That’s what society is.

There’s specific free speech battles still ongoing. Drew Brees’s statement and apology is a comically stupid example of one.

During the Chinese Cultural Revolution, people were encouraged to snitch on their countrymen and then they were marched through the streets to be spit on and beaten. Even after apologies.

This is what Twitter is metaphorically doing. This, of course, doesn't excuse Brees from allowing shitheads to frame his thoughts in the most negative light, but he is worried about his legacy and his future income and reputation.

The man is going to kneel. It won't do any good. They will still spit on him.

When the United States of Soymerica is officially cristened by chubby-fat reddit neckbeard socialisits, this will be their pledge of allegiance.

Nah Nardi you’re confusing who’s in power in those analogies. Nobody gives a fuck about the Twitter crowd. If you feel you should apologize to and placate then that’s your personal weakness, not society’s

I just thought you said they were getting rid of free speech. You’re all over the place

He's wrong about one thing though. There would still be an NFL without black players; it would just be far less entertaining.

That quote has been repeated so many times ad nauseum by duplicitous retards who only actually believe it when it applies one direction. Sometimes they use "dick" instead of "asshole", but whatever. It just a tired meme from the internet left they use to defend their mob actions.

It’s hardly an original thought but it’s also not a meme. It’s simply the truth. This was the truth growing up in the 90’s and it hasn’t changed.

The whiny victim act of people bitching about getting called out for dumbass statements is beyond old at this point. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Follow that and the leftist twitter crowd should be of no concern.

This really isn’t difficult.

There's other analogies. Hitler never won an election until he was APPOINTED Chancellor. He had a mob. They were the SA

The Nazi Party was not in control of the Reichstag. So he had his mob burn it down.

You or I can't say how powerful the Twitter mob is. We are in unexplored territory. There's a lot of people feeding off of Drew Brees' weakness and MANY others who've cowtowed. The mob can be powerful. People should be vigilant about not appeasing mobs. When Brees kneels in September, a piece of America dies.

Im interested why you think Brees’ comment was stupid etc? I can see out of touch or out of the times. Certainly didn’t need to happen this week. But really all he said was he stands out of respect for his veteran grandfathers and nothing will change his mind. He never once said shit on BLM or Kap. So why is he treated that way for his opinion?

The Park Police acknowledged firing “pepper balls,” a projectile munition that lofts irritant powder into the air, and “smoke canisters” to scatter the crowd Monday. The agency has not provided more details about the contents of the smoke it deployed, and a spokesman for the Park Police did not respond to requests seeking clarification Wednesday.

At least one spent canister recovered from the streets outside the park Monday by reporters was clearly labeled “Skat Shell OC.”

The OC stands for oleoresin capsicum, an oily substance derived from chile peppers that is often used in topical ointments and “heat” creams for arthritis relief and muscle pain. When it gets into the eyes, noses and lungs, however, it triggers searing, debilitating pain, coughs, sneezes and mucus secretion.

As police across the country use such chemical agents to quell protests and rioting, they also are triggering those major vectors for the spread of coronavirus.

Like the pepper-ball projectiles, the OC gas detected Monday is very much a lachrymatory product designed to produce tears. It clears crowds by making the air sting and burn — one reason the Park Police and other federal forces wore gas masks as they cleared a path for Trump to walk across the street and pose for photos outside a vandalized church.

I don’t think Brees’s comments were stupid. I think they were out of touch but I don’t think he deserves the negative reaction he’s getting. But that’s my opinion. Just like everyone else is voicing their opinion on it. Which is fine in my mind and certainly not some sign free speech is in jeopardy. Which is how this all started because of stork’s ridiculous post about needing to submit apologies to woke authorities. A post ripe for mocking and I mocked it and JLN brought up being a libertarian for seemingly no reason at all and we were off. The CFMB way
