You can say whatever you want but it might have consequences, exact same thing with Kirk where people are saying the things he said got him killed, that’s like saying the N word to a group of black people and expecting them not to beat your ass

I had idiots from my highschool call my employer because I started posting Kirk’s quotes to point out the irony of his death. Luckily my boss isn’t a bitch and stood up for me.

Right! I’m not even one of the people happy he died. I don’t want anyone to die for their beliefs. But I’m not gonna sit here while the right treats him like MLK jr. They’re talking about putting a statue of him in DC and he’s said soooo much bullshit racism sexism and lies. Sure I’m sad for his family but not any sadder than I am for anyone else who dies

I think they do. But they pretend it means that if I disagree with them, they can tell me to shut up. But if I tell them to shut up, I’m “infringing” on their free speech
