MODERATORS
All these stupid idiots need to realize we don't have free speech in Canada. We also have comprehensive hate crime/speech laws, though they're exceptionally underused due to circumstances exactly like this. Fuck conservatism.
Even USA free speech doesn't protect you from assaulting people verbally with hate. Freespeech ends at the other persons consiltitutional rights of thing like freedom to travel unmolested by others.
At least online where these people conflate being able to spew hate speech as free speech, the vast majority don't even understand its only about protection from the government.
They think they're able to say anything they want and be free of consequences from everyone else in society, but that's not what it is, and then cry afoul when they face it.
