Nice straw man, Mike, but incitement to violence against an individual is already illegal and not permitted on any platform, including Substack. And for what it’s worth, I did make an exception for incitement to violence in my letter exchange with where I discuss this topic:
“I would agree with that sentiment as well as the Brandenburg v. Ohio caveat excluding protection for speech that ‘is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action.’”
You are likely not self-aware enough to realize this, but you do know that you and the other particularly strident voices screeching for the curtailment of our liberties are the ones who are sounding and behaving like Nazis, right? You guys are the ones who have been making literal threats, aligning with fascist values, and calling those of us who value “true freedom”—as you so sneeringly state—vicious, dehumanizing names for having the audacity to speak out in defense of your civil rights. Oh, the irony.
I’ll save you the trouble of further hypocritical and incendiary attacks as I am heading to bed. Goodnight, Mike.
