Give up your free speech at your peril. Once they are able to silence you, the game is over. The loss of all of your other freedoms will fall like dominos after. Anyone that advocates to censor you, or to unmask your anonymity is your adversary. Treat them like one - no matter what else they say.
But why is it so vital and necessary for the combined monolithic apparatus of government, corporations, and NGOs, to brute force censor everyone while decimating the careers and reputations of the dissenters? Here is why:
The reason the First Amendment is prime directive order 1, is because it is the most important freedom we have for the same reason it is the first target an adversary subverts, disrupts, and destroys during a crime, a war, or a takeover—preventing a target from assembling, communicating, and organizing a response to an assault grants an enormous advantage to the aggressors.
"If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent will be led, like sheep to the slaughter." —Washington
The Second Amendment is second because it is the remedy for anyone trying to subvert the First.
"The 1-A is first for a reason. The 2-A is it's twin. Together they make a bond of freedom." —S.P.H.
So many people are already just parrots, repeating what they've been taught to say, while comprehending none of it.
When you think about it (and I do), hate speech laws are aimed at those of us who form and express their our own opinions. Thinking for yourself is the ultimate crime against the state.
Fascinating breakdown of that Tennessee meme case. What stands out is how the court recognized students' offcampus social media as fundamentally outside school authority. The line about "what teenagers post on social media is their parents' busines, not the government's" captures something really importnat about where school jurisdiction ends and personal autonomy begins.

Great post.
But I tried to watch Catherine and found it pretentious. Sorry, but I hate pretentious.
