Of course the end game is speech=hate=violence,
therefore no free speech.

Just funny I've been reading about "Muzzies" "towel heads" and "rag heads" over twitter and Facebook for years. They need to shut down the Internet because it is spreading truth faster than it can be suppressed.

I Thought the Web Would Stop Hate, Not Spread It

When I was a reporter at The Washington Post back in the pre-Internet days, there was a man who would write me a letter every time I had a story that had a name in it that he perceived to be Jewish.

His anti-Semitic screeds were intricate and obsessive. He would cut my article out of the paper, highlight the names, and in a chicken-scratch scrawl write endless lines of venomous bile about how the various businesspeople he noted were secretly plotting to take over the world and kill the “real” Americans. It was riveting — the care he took was clearly apparent — and nauseating at the same time.

It frightened me, but it was only a letter, sent only to me. Fast forward to today, when everyone has the ability to see the toxic online stylings of Cesar Sayoc, the Trump supporter who has been arrested and charged for a series of mail bombs that he sent to CNN and a list of prominent Democrats. He was all over social media spewing his bile, which escalated on Twitter and Facebook starting in 2016. ..
