    Who determines legitimate purpose? You?

    Paper is holy in my religion, not burning it is offensive to me and could drive me to religious violence, are you responsible for my actions because you aren’t burning paper? To be clear burning a cross on someone else’s property is a crime, biting one on your own property or even public property is not only legal but a first amendment protected act, perhaps a shitty one but still. Once you let the government decide which speech is ok you start running down the hill of fascism. Sure it may be a ban on something you agree with today but the next administration might have a more sinister use for it and you’ve given them the path to do it.

    No you fight fascism with policy and munitions, there had never once been a successfully overthrown fascist government with words alone, not once.

    Please explain how I’m displaying “violent fantasies” if anything I’m calling both sides ignorant and foolish and little like you short-sighted and historically ignorant but all appearances. I didn’t want to resort to ad hominem but I’m certainly willing to return the favor homie.
