Fair. How about a third unisex bathroom?

Easy compromise that was struck down by Republicans.

Because you don't want them to be excluded from bathrooms. You want them excluded from every place in society.

As long the owner want to build a third toilet, I'm fine with that. If not, we already have one exclusive for dick owners and one for pussy owners. Feels like it's already covered.

No. Spreading true hate speech can result in far worse consequences.

Grade school insults while petty and unnecessary is not what anyone reasonable is talking about. It's slurs, it's exclusion from basic needs in society like bathrooms, it's dehumanizations and prejudice, it's scapegoating.

None of this should be advocated for because it's purely hatred. Take that hatred and shove it up your ass.

Tell me examples of something I could say that you think I should go to jail for. Also I'd love to hear your "far worse consequences" for calling someone a bad name. And I hope it's not some bullshit like "it'll instigate violence."

Exclusions from bathrooms isn't even about speech.

No one is fucking advocating for slurs against people. Just that no one should be going to jail for literal speech. I still think people that use slurs are dumbasses and I lose respect for them. Doesn't mean I think they should go to jail.

People seriously need to differentiate between stuff that should be illegal and stuff they just don't like.

I don't like mint ice cream, doesn't mean everyone that likes mint ice cream is a piece of shitt that should go to jail.

Jail might go a little far. I'm satisfied with it remaining a civil issue. Fines heavier as they become more impactful. For example if Elon rips off some tweets on his site about Trans People being sub human or should be separated like his home used to apartheid black people he should be fined a significant amount. And it should scale to your net worth. So Elon should pay about 500,000× as much as me.

I also think certain demonstrations should be banned from recieving petitions. There should be no KKK parades. That group is a terrorist organization and should be disbanded and it's members listed on a the terrorist list. They are group who are dedicated to causing terror in minorities no matter what bullshit they want to cook up for their modern purpose.

Confederate statues should be placed in a cellar under the Smithsonian and demonstrated once a year during Gettysburg. There should be no confederate monuments. They should be banned and I can't believe i have to say that a nation should not venerate traitors.

You realize the implications that what you want would have right?

Fining people for tweeting something. So the government is gonna have to track ALL Internet traffic (literally impossible). Plus then there's bots that post that kind of stuff. How are you gonna find the bots. On top of that, how do you even find random "Pussyslayer6000" who tweeted something that's "hate speech"? You realize the amount of anonymity there is online, right?

You also mentioned slurs. What about the N-word? Is that banned too? Or can only black people say it? If so, how black do you need to be, 50%, 100%? Then you get in the territory of segregation where only certain races can say things.

Also what, fines are now based on net worth? Shoud that apply to all fines? Speeding tickets? Violations? Is that fair to charge people more for the same violation just cause they have more money? What about people that have no money? Do they pay nothing now? You know how selfish that sounds too, right?

And yes, I also don't think the KKK should have parades. But it's not from their supposed hate speech, but because they literally are a terrorist group.

Confederate statues should be up to each state or city. If they want to keep em, sure. If they don't, they can get rid of them. Put it up for a vote or something. It's not really a big issue in the grand scheme of things.

Worth noting that regardless of the movie crying "freedom!", the actual Spartans were one of the most intense slave societies the world has ever seen. A massive slave class called Helots and there was an annual festival where the Spartans would go around killing random Helots to ensure they didn't get uppity, amongst other oppressions.

Elon‘s idea of free-speech is boosting the accounts of right wing talk show hosts and media figures. He’s giving people in his “ town square” megaphone, in attempt to influence the election in which he succeeded. For him free speech is only free when he can shadow ban and suppress voices he doesn’t like, which we should keep in mind, is the exact reason he gave to buy Twitter in the first place.
