If you're like me and live in a place surrounded by leftisit ideologues it can get extremely frustrating listening to how virtuous they think they are. Especially when it comes to freedom of speech, because that is by far the most important unalienable right for my existence.
I have Tourettes Syndrome, the kind that causes me to involuntary swear and say slurs. Tourettes is a disability in the US under the ADA. It is illegal to discriminate against me because of the words I involuntarily say.
I'm only 25 years old but just in the past 5 years I've noticed a significant increase in people on the left equating words to acts of aggression. This mindset seems to me to be increasing exponentially within the masses.
"street justice" is what they think they're doing. Assaulting a disabled person is what they're actually doing in my case. Passing hate speech laws has seemed to encourage this behavior. I have a CC lisence because when your community strips away your first amendment right the 2nd amendment becomes your best friend. But some people with Tourettes have debilitating motor tics so carrying a firearm is out of the question for a lot of Tourettes sufferers.
People with Tourettes have been getting kicked out of universities because of their disability in increasing numbers each year. It seems universities would rather fight an ADA lawsuit than allow their safe spaces to be tarnished by a disabled person.
I could rambled on about this subject but I mostly just wanted to put this out there because I've found the only way to get a leftist ideologue's brain to short circuit so that maybe they try thinking for themselves, is to use their rhetoric against them.
Hate speech laws discriminate against a minority group and a disabled population. Do you want disabled people to die? I thought you were compassionate and tolerant toward all minority groups? The suicide rate for Tourettes sufferers is nearly the same as the trans population. Supporting hate speech laws makes you an ableist.
This is how you cause the leftist brain to short circuit. My existence should not be illegal. Please speak up for people with Tourettes when talking to people who advocate hate speech laws. We need your help. We just want to walk down the street without fearing for our lives.
