An open, user owned community for the general disscussion of the libertarian philosophy.
Most people live their own lives by that code of ethics. Libertarians believe that that code should be applied consistently, even to the actions of governments, which should be restricted to protecting people from violations of their rights. Governments should not use their powers to censor speech, conscript the young, prohibit voluntary exchanges, steal or “redistribute” property, or interfere in the lives of individuals who are otherwise minding their own business.

Be polite to others and respects each others opinions. We don't want any form of gatekeeping or circlejerk culture here.
3. Stay constructive and informational
In general, all types of contributions are allowed, but the relevance to this community must always be evident and presented openly by the contributor. Posts that do not meet these requirements will be removed after a public warning. Also remember to cite you sources!
4. Use self-moderation measures first before reporting.
This community is fundamentally built upon freedom of speech.

A majority of politicians would love nothing else than to lock up pro-Palestine protestors
This topic won't go well on Lemmy, as soon as something outside the echo chamber shows up.
Anyone should be allowed to say anything they wish at any time they wish to say it.
Fuck off with that noise.
Ugh i just saw what forum im in. Fuck off with all this noise too. Bunch of delusional house cats.
Should anyone be able to say boldfaced lies, reinforced through coordinated efforts with co-conspirators, both real and fake, at such a rapid pace that the value of speech is reduced to nothing?
If no, how do we fix this issue of coordinated, high velocity misinformation?
Anything? Do you mean legally, or morally?
Do you think it's fine for people to take offense to speech, and collectively agree to exclude a speaker from society over speech?
What about businesses disallowing speech on private property?
I can't speak for them but usually a quote like that is in reference to not being censored by the State.
That's exactly that a child raping, slave trafficking piece of shit would say.
