Agreed. The reason the govt, or the platform, must get involved, however, is because some officious people decide They Have A Gripe.
Fuck those people. Or, better yet, let’s all agree to Ignore Those People. And Ignore The People Who Wind Up Those Simpletons.
The rule should be what the rule always was: You’re offended? Turn the fucking channel. Or pick a fight with the agitator. It’s between the two of you, or your tribes, Not The Rest Of Us.
These “I’m Offended” assholes have been chipping away at free speech since Falwell sued Flynt, since Brent Bozell started boycotts decades ago.
Fuck these people. Fuck them all.
