@Lexi@octodon.social @pbandkate Yes. This relates to the issue of "Nazis using free speech to organize in public" and "us-vs-them mentality"... When a unified faction is determined to cynically abuse a right for strategic gain, they can make that right look undesirable. (Compare to the behavior of congressional republicans right now.)
@adambredenberg @Lexi i'd argue that it's not that they're abusing a right (they're just using it), it's that valuing unfettered free speech over the protection of vulnerable classes (as is currently done the US) is actually not desirable
