    From the party that’s blurring insurrectionists faces in surveillance footage. Gold medals in mental gymnastics for everyone.

    … yeah, your First Amendment rights to assembly and speech don’t necessarily apply 100% of the time. Selling us out to geopolitical rivals is one of those times.

    You couldn’t, for instance, freely speech about classified things that other countries may find useful, in catching up to our military capabilities perhaps. This is an important limitation to remember when hanging out on discord.

    Seriously, if your primary complaint is that you have been found to be an unreliable source, the answer is NOT to argue you have a right to be an unreliable source.
