The moderators should allow any anti pc SJW speech


Yep

You're so keen to make troll posts, you're getting sloppy. I'm not sure if you're saying anti PC speech should be banned or allowed or what.

Anyway, on ignore you go.

It's allowed, the same it's allowed to criticize or defend Wokeness, or Christianism, or Islam, or any other religion, for what matters.

I was reading some interesting posts elsewhere on free speach and the whatever amendment the other day
some of the better ones were:
------------------------------------
Freedom of expression does not mean you have the right to spout any old bullshit at any point in time. This is the exact same thing as yelling "Fire !" in a crowded theater.

As such, freedom of expression falls under the same blanket of social responsibility. You don't yell "Fire !" in a crowded place because the ensuing panic can get people injured and even killed. You don't encourage people to spread a pandemic virus because God knows there's gonna be some damn fools that are actually going to find that a hilarious idea and do it.

Your freedom of expression is subject to being responsible for what you say. The thing is, on the Internet, nobody feels responsible for anything and they behave accordingly.
------------------------------------
"defending a position by citing free speech is sort of the ultimate concession; you're saying that the most compelling thing you can say for your position is that it's not literally illegal to express"
------------------------------------
if "freedom of expression" is the only positive thing about a statement one should probably not make it.

Exactly.

Also freedom of speech only protects from prosecution from the government. It doesn't protect one from getting fired from their job or from being banned from a private company's webpage. It also varies from country to country as to what is exempt from free speech. Most forms of discrimination and libel/slander can still see one prosecuted for it.
