I never said that anyone deserved to die
I asked in a previous post if they think all billionaires deserve to die. The majority of the comments said yes. I then said that it is their right to say and feel that way. At the same time, it is my right to say, “Your kids deserve cancer, or they should die in a school shooting.”
Freedom of speech works both ways. Everyone is entitled to feel how they feel. That’s my point.
You want to defend those who want to sink the lifeboat. I’m not sure why, but that doesn’t make you moral.
Where the hell did I say I’m defending billionaires? I’m not. I’m defending everyone’s right to feel what they feel because you’re entitled to that, and I’m defending your right to free speech, which you have because of the First Amendment.
If you want to say, “All billionaires deserve to die,” that’s your right to say that. You are entitled to feel that way. I’m entitled to say, "Your kids deserve cancer, or they deserve to be murdered in a school shooting.
Do you enjoy kneeling in front of those who happily want end your civilization due to their mental illness?
No, I don’t. But claiming someone deserves to die, celebrating their death, etc., is an extreme slippery slope that can be turned right back around on you. Like I said, you have the right to say whatever the hell you want and feel however you want. If someone thinks you deserve cancer, hopes you get cancer, or hopes your kid dies painfully in a school shooting, they are also entitled to feel that way, in the same way that you feel that way.
It’s not a straw man. How does my argument connect to my post? I didn’t say if I agreed with you or not. If you think billionaires deserve to die then thats your right to think that way, you are entitled to how you feel and it’s your first amendment right to say that.
Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian, and Oprah are billionaires. One could argue, “You shouldn’t say they deserve to die.” However, you do have the right to say that; it’s the First Amendment. So yes, if you feel that Selena Gomez or Tyler Perry deserves to die because they are billionaires, then you can say it—you have that right. At the exact same time, I have the right to say that your two young nephews deserve painful cancer, or that they deserve to die in a school shooting.

but you shouldn’t

I’m simply respecting your right to free speech. You have the right to say and think, ‘Billionaires deserve to die.’ That’s your First Amendment right, and I respect your right to think it. However, at the exact same time, I also have the right to say, ‘You deserve cancer. I hope your kids get cancer, and if your 5-year-old son dies in a school shooting, he deserves it.’ Basically, free speech is a two-way street, and that’s the problem with saying, ‘X person deserves to die.’ Because if you or your son, regardless of how old he is, dies, then don’t expect people to feel sad for you. They have the right to think you deserve it and celebrate it.

Next question
Do I have the right to say and think you and your children deserve to have cancer and be murdered?
That’s fair.
I could also say you are a rabid animal that deserves cancer.
I could say your kid deserves to die from cancer or be shot.
Freedom of speech works both ways.
How would you feel if someone on here or somewhere else think you deserve cancer?
Dude, here is my point, and this is the only point I’m making: the people in these comments are saying Tyler Perry, Oprah, Selena Gomez, and Taylor Swift deserve to die since they are billionaires. If they die, these people will celebrate their deaths, which is 100% okay—that is their right to say and do that. At the same time, however, people are allowed to say, ‘Your kids deserve cancer. They deserve to die in a school shooting.’ See how that works? If you think someone deserves to die, then people are also allowed to think you deserve to die. That’s all I’m saying, dude.
