21. Yes, the uproar is about the disparity between form
and content. The first amendment is not about printing or saying anything. I am saying that your brain is trapped. Some things are clearly lies and distractions. They subvert free speech and press. These two provisions were based upon an ideology that was specifically aimed at finding the truth and eliminating propaganda.

The idea that propaganda is protected by the First Amendment is a joke. Why would a bill of rights be designed to protect propaganda. The whole point of debate is to arrive at a conclusion, not engage in the act of endless discussion.

Hey, hows our free speech and press working out? How are things going? Ha! You do realize that the founders were revolutionaries, right?

So, lets just assume that our society is being intentionally lied to and distracted because it is a method of control that benefits the few over the most. That is protected? Wait, according to who? Thats right, the supreme court.

So people can't speak up identify an action as defamation of character and a violation of liberty and the pursuit of happiness? These are modern day witch hunts. The goal is to punish.
