Which is exactly the problem with criminalizing a form of speech- That those laws will be used by the people they were intended to restrict, that they will be used to oppress the people they were intended to protect.

There is a frighteningly large segment of the population who believes that BLM is a hate group on par with the KKK- and their people, Donald Trump and Jeff Sessions, are the ones who currently have the final word on which of those two groups gets prosecuted and which gets excused. How much do you trust them?

To quote a relevant bit from the Freeze Peach thread:

@Wanderfound

And before the “you want to give more power to Trump!?” replies come in: no, I don’t. A government like that will abuse every power it has.

But that isn’t an argument for freeze peach absolutism, it’s an argument for the importance of preventing fascists from seizing control of your government. Once they do, laws are nothing but words.
