I think that advocates for stricter speech laws assume that stringent rules won't be applied to their speech. The euphemism treadmill almost guarantees innocuous speech today will be offensive tomorrow.
It's not just speech, it's all of our rights that this is happening to. "Well I agree with this so it's ok, they won't take away what I want" but once the government is given power it always seems more.
*This was really interesting and enlightening.*
I don’t understand why some label you altright. I’ve watched you for some time now and just don’t see it. Keep it up
He's not a socialist, by CNN standards that's alt right.
Who's labeled him altright?
Everyone right of Marx is "alt-right".

Lou Rocks!
Great Job WTI. You are an all rounder..
Im not sure what I just watched.
"The government has thrown people in jail for criticizing them. Thanks for tuning in, we'll see you next time."
For the individual, freedom of speech revolves around tolerance.
Here's an example of tolerance: I had an uncle wounded at D-day: I still thought Count Dankula's Pug was funny as hell.
Dan Templeton What was so funny about the Nazi pug thing anyway?
Would you have even heard of it if it weren’t for the reaction from the UK courts?
At least made Count Dankula famous. Humorless sickos still don't get it.
@@willhiggins9563 I guess you have to have a sense of humor. I may not have heard of it if it weren't for the idiotic government overreaction. And the Pug wasn't a Nazi. Neither was Count Dankula.
@@willhiggins9563 it's funny because it's wrong, things are funny because they push the normal boundaries. even the knock knock jokes are funny because of being on an abstract fringe of normal thought.
Will Higgins A substantial portion of society literally has no sense of humor.. they are genetic abnormalities
I shouldn't have to look to a comedian for truth
Good Times - he's not a comedian.
Awesome
Interesting!! Best wishes
Florida pastor arrested this week for holding massive services in the midst of the coronavirus epidemic. 1st A, thin line?
Well, they do spell clan with a K... Ha!
FOURTH!
You'd be safe believe me........
"revengeance" lol 😅
Lemme just criticize isreal real quick aaaaaand there go my rights
Isreal has has Arab citizens living there peacefully.
Some of Israel's neighbors will kill non-Jews even if they aren't doing any criticizing.
Hey look you just did that btw and you haven't even been arrested. How about that.
J00 detected
@@deoxal7947 isreal has killed and pushed out Palestinians out their homes and lands, including children so
@@mastatheif9909 Ya and who keeps shooting rockets at the Israelis? Gaza used to be beautiful when it was owned by the Israelis and it is now a wasteland owned by the Palestinians.
@@squarerootof2 Don't have to be a Jew to be a Zionist ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I understand and agree with the punishment of hate crimes but am less clear on the criminilaztion of hate speech. Recently saw a clip of Seattle Police Chief urging citizens to call 911 to report hate speech. To be clear, I find it personally reprehensible, but is name calling now a crime?
Hey was that Lou's smug and proud face?
with our current times why didn't you mention anything about the freedom to assemble since our assembly freedoms have been banned at this time with a virus going around?
George Floyd protests demonstrate that even if you were banned from assembly, the gov't is doing a shit job at enforcement. And no, you can still assemble-6 ft is a CDC reccommendation, not a legal requirement. And there isn't a reason you can't be 6 ft apart or wear a mask while at a protest
The reason I'm asking this question is because we have been prevented from going to church which I believe is a form of assembly isn't it?

I can understand the right to protect oneself with a gun but why assault weapons ( huge machine guns,etc..).why do you need a collection of military grade weapons in your home? Why are they needed? Please inform me.
That would be the second amendment. This is a video on the first.
You don't get to choose your enemy's weapons. So choose yours wisely. Think about it.
WTI previously did hilarious video on 2nd Amendment. FYI, Lou shines comic light in all directions. Incredible channel.
Because the stated purpose of the second amendment, to guarantee the safety of a free state (against tyranny), requires civilians to be armed similarly to the government, else revolt is futile.
Show off. That first clip wasn’t the best part. It was just you being a know it all.
Anarchist, socialist, communist?
Soooo, your talking about the demoCRAPIC party then!
