You glorious bastards! How much money have you set a monthly recurring donation to the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, I just set up a $25 monthly donation, roughly the cost of a extra large pizza with cheese sticks. for this I get to see additional law suits against schools that decide to buckle to the whiny masses. It's buying salt in bulk and you can too by going to https://www.thefire.org/donate/ and giving them your sweet sweet shekels. All the cool kids are doing it Anon, you want to be a cool kid right? oh, and it's tax deductible too!

Don't know what they are about? seriously? Ok, drop the donate part off of that url and look at the slickly animated html5 slide show. Give them your money so that the fire rises!

FIRE?

Is this another case of meme magic?

Leader 11/10/15 (Tue) 12:00:03 56e747 No.297130

Great initiative OP. Actually, why the fuck did we take so long to start considering help free speech institutes such as this?

Leader 11/10/15 (Tue) 12:54:47 2c61cf No.297141

> free speech

This should be considered a stupid question, but these are stupid times: what is their instance on "hate speech"?

meme magic is definitely becoming a thing, and I want in

Why does free speech always seem to end up benefitting SJWs more than everybody else?

Leader 11/10/15 (Tue) 15:32:44 c03b68 No.297171

FIRE is a libertarian outfit that was set up after the ACLU was compromised and started backing wacky shit (ban guns, support hamas, etc). They're what your parents imagine the ACLU to still be. ACLU locals may still be pretty good. If you have a free speech issue go to both.

I came here to banepost but >>297115 beat me to it.

New York.

The same place a 200 sq foot apartment right next to an elevated rail cost $5500/mo

You know I'm noticing a whole lot of not answering OP's question in this thread.

So I just set up a $10/mo donation, I can afford it, are the rest of you cucks to poor to actually do something?

>In the United States, hate speech is not a recognized exception to the free speech protections under the First Amendment. Put simply, the vast majority of “hate speech” is free speech.

I like to agree, this has nothing to do with funding sealions, or with ethics in games journalism

I recall a video taking the piss at FIRE for being SJW-esque let me check my feed

scratch that, FIRE was credited for bringing to public attention some SJW shenanigans at Yale regarding Halloween costumes.

> A proper article about Hate Speech as part of Free Speech

> Sources are properly linked to sites like supreme.justia.com

Holy crap:

> Why not ask ourselves how we know that the Holocaust occurred?

> Ideas are like muscles—they atrophy if they are not properly exercised

> Which is preferable: a person who accepts the Holocaust’s historicity based exclusively on the fact that it is what they have been told, or a person who experiences doubt and examines original documents, meets people with serial numbers tattooed on their arms, and visits the death camps or the mass graves?

> Some ideas are repugnant, and some people will hold these ideas against all reason. Even so, there is something to be learned from seeing a person express such an idea, if not from the idea itself

Check this:

https://www.thefire.org/censoring-bigoted-speech-at-uc-san-diego-who-does-it-help/

> If racist speech is censored rather than exposed, it’s hard to know who the racists are – and harder still to demonstrate the falsity of their ideas.

> Freedom of speech is what makes this awareness possible.

> On the other hand, censoring racist speech amounts to nothing more than a cover-up.

I totally accepted the mods might not like this thread, but I figured I'd ask forgiveness rather than ask permissions, though to be fair I've done neither at this point. I did look for the official rules thread to see if it was in violation, but it seems to have gone away at some point, so I guess it's up to the mods' judgement if they want a completely blatant and unapologetic shilling thread for an organization putting fire to the roots of this cancer we are fighting.
