Well, book burning is kinda dumb because most of them, if not all, are already digitized. It’s a statement at this point in time. While really stupid and backwards, expression is still a right and freedom that Americans enjoy.
This is unlike other countries where you can be thrown in jail for something even lesser and never have a recourse or trial.
Who said anything about book burning? Expression isn’t a right that all Americans enjoy - teachers in Florida can’t tell their students that they are anything other than straight CIS people…but freedom, amirite
Of course they can. They might get in trouble or even fired. But they can still say whatever they want. They are also protesting on both sides of it, too, as is the right. The great American discourse.
You’ve missed the point - I am pointing out that being forced to hide who you are at the risk of losing your job doesn’t actually give people a choice and saying that they do is disingenuous. Criminalising someone’s identity doesn’t give people freedom to be who they are which the supposed freedom you say exists.
It’s just leaning into semantics while forgetting there’s real life people at the end of it being told to hide their sexuality or gender because some chuds are up in their feelings because not everyone is straight or identifies with their gender at birth. Sounds free to me /s
And that makes the image being censored ‘okay’?
Nah it doesn’t but I’m pointing out how the bastion of freedom that is the US ain’t as free as people like to this :)

That’s like saying you can murder people but there’s consequences - let that sink in bro
Nah. That’s a strawman argument there. Killing someone is not equivalent to saying something offensive or burning books.
