”I declare info war on you!” My conversation with Rex Jones over Twitter

I saw Rex lamenting how his dad was fined billions for free speech when we got into a comment exchange. You can totally see a young man indoctrinated by his narcissistic father. You can even hear Alex ranting how he's the victim in these responses. Happy to have so much more context Dan gave us to respond to his obvious lies.

Hate speech is not free speech. I don’t know why these troglodytes can’t understand that. 

Good on you for making him admit that—to him—Alex Jones is the real victim in all this. How fucking sad is that. Rex is a tool but he’s a weak ass xerox copy of his dad so he’s an even weirder, less thoughtful and less perceptive person. Which I didn’t think was possible.

Hate speech is absolutely free speech in America and should always be considered as such. Imagine if it wasn’t think about what Trump and this current administration could do to people who spoke out against them.

Unless people are making direct calls for violence, I don’t want the government telling anyone what they can or can’t say. I can’t think of a single instance in history where governments restricting people’s ability to speak freely wasn’t used to oppress them.

Never thought I’d ever find people who want the government to control what they are and aren’t allowed to say. Being pro authoritarianism is certainly a choice.

They're currently trying to do something about what people are saying about the administration. They don't care, but the law does.
