        Fascists don’t believe in the meaning of words.

        They are free to play in bad faith, while libs waste time and energy debating their bad faith arguments; exactly what the bad faith actor wanted.

          Exactly.

          Words are nothing but weapons to them, tactics to distract, demoralize, dogwhistle, whatever.

          You do not speak to a fascist with words.

          You speak to them with a fucking baseball bat.

          … not like they would ever do any good with a working jaw anyway.

      It’s only about Nazi free speech. They’ll pretend we all need to allow their free speech, no matter how hateful, because, “free speech”.

      But they don’t have any intent of YOU having free speech.

      That’s the paradox of tolerance that Popper talked about…
