enough reclaiming slurs, I think in 2023 we should reclaim nascar. they banned the confederate flag on all properties & their stance on lgbtq+ isn’t just performative bc in 2013 they fined a driver 10k for using a homophobic slur, condemned indiana in a statement for an anti lgbt law, and partnered w carolina’s lgbt+ chamber of conference in 2022. nascar was founded by anti-cop moonshiners/bootleggers who drove suped-up fords to out-run the police. #yaaascar

All amazing points and so important to take in. I think I have done a couple of these, but not habitually or intensely. But it's good awareness for me.

Consider:

You died with a remarkable fortune and no heirs. You grant your wealth to two rivalling schools in the same city, under one condition: One of them must always keep your preserved skull. They may keep it on display (therefore attracting interest and potentially fame to the school) but that always raises the risk of students of the other school stealing it. The students and staff of the other school have not only the right, but the duty to do so at any opportunity. Nobody can be arrested for this unless they're caught breaking some other law.

Ideally, the students of the two schools keep stealing your skull, back and forth, forever. The culture of both of the schools is enriched by this activity, the students are too busy engaged in these harmless shenanigans to drift into worse habits and behaviours, and you get to be included in countless nonsensically frivolous heist operations whose sole purpose is to bring more fun into the world.

People always bring up the “yelling fire in a movie theater” analogy as an example of a reasonable restriction on free speech, even though it’s entirely unreasonable.

You know where that analogy comes from? The Supreme Court used it in Schenck v. US (1919) to justify jailing a man who passed out fliers which encouraged young men to resist the draft during World War I. Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes said “The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man falsely shouting fire in a theatre and causing a panic” to make the case that there were certain circumstances in which free speech could reasonably be limited. Except the activist in question was accurately shouting fire in a crowded theater, he was informing others about a real threat to their lives caused by government policy.

His sentence was upheld because the court found his actions posed “a clear and present danger that they will bring about the substantive evils that Congress has a right to prevent”- the evil of draft dodging during a pointless war. The government has the right to decide whether the fire is real or not. And somehow this disgrace has come to be seen as a reasonable limit on the right to dissent.
