These are some political thoughts and theories of mine.

Everyone Deserves Free Speech. Even Nazis.

On By Jack BurgerIn Thoughts and TheoriesLeave a comment

The definition of hate speech is subjective. For some people, hate speech is anything that could be remotely offensive. For others, hate speech is only racist, sexist, or homophobic language. And for some people, hate speech is only violent or threatening language. Obviously, there’s a lot of room for interpretation here.

This subjectivity is important to keep in mind when thinking about whether or not Nazis deserve free speech. On the one hand, you could argue that Nazis are engaging in hate speech when they talk about Jews, minorities, and other groups of people. On the other hand, you could argue that Nazis are simply expressing their political beliefs and should therefore be protected under the First Amendment.

Of course, there are valid points on both sides of this debate. However, I believe that everyone deserves free speech, even Nazis. Here’s why.

First, it’s important to remember that the First Amendment protects all speech, even hateful speech. The Supreme Court has repeatedly upheld this principle, most notably in the landmark case of Brandenburg v. Ohio. In that case, the Court ruled that the government cannot punish hate speech unless it is “likely to produce imminent lawless action.”

This is an important distinction. The government can’t punish someone for simply expressing hateful ideas. It can only punish someone for inciting violence. This is a fundamental principle of free speech.

Second, banning Nazi speech would set a dangerous precedent. If we allow the government to ban Nazi speech, then we open the door to banning all kinds of speech that the government doesn’t like. We could soon find ourselves in a situation where the only speech that is allowed is speech that the government approves of. That’s not a world I want to live in.

Third, banning Nazi speech would be ineffective. Nazis are not going to go away just because we ban their speech. They will simply go underground and continue to spread their hateful ideas. Additionally, banning Nazi speech would only make them more popular. As we’ve seen with other banned groups, such as the Ku Klux Klan, banning a group only makes it more attractive to people who are looking for something to rebel against.

Fourth, and finally, banning Nazi speech would violate the principles of free speech. Free speech is a fundamental right in our society. It’s one of the things that makes America great. And we should never give up our rights, even in the face of hate.

I understand that there are valid arguments on both sides of this debate. But, at the end of the day, I believe that everyone deserves free speech, even Nazis.

The Fallacy of Canceling Student Debt

On By Jack BurgerIn Current Opinion, Thoughts and TheoriesLeave a comment

The idea of canceling student debt has been proposed by some as a way to help those who are struggling to repay their loans. However, this would be a mistake. Today, there is an average of $40,000 of debt per graduate.

There are a number of reasons why canceling student debt would be a bad idea. First, it would be a huge financial burden for the government. The cost of canceling student debt would be in the trillions of dollars, and it is not clear where that money would come from.

Second, canceling student debt would not actually help most people who are struggling to repay their loans. The vast majority of people who have student debt are able to repay it. For those who are struggling, the problem is not the size of their debt, but rather their income. Canceling student debt would do nothing to address the root cause of their financial problems.

Third, canceling student debt would be unfair to those who have already repaid their loans. It would be like taking money from those who did the responsible thing and giving it to those who didn’t.

Fourth, canceling student debt would send the wrong message to future students. It would encourage them to take on more debt than they can afford, knowing that they may not have to repay it. In other words, the idea of canceling student debt entices voters to vote for the socialist democrats

Ultimately, the idea of canceling student debt is flawed. It would be a huge financial burden for the government, it would not actually help most people who are struggling to repay their loans, it would be unfair to those who have already repaid their loans, and it would send the wrong message to future students.

Thoughts on The Seventh Seal (1957)

I am keeping this concise. I want you to experience this film yourself.

I have never cried during a film, however watching The Seventh Seal for the first time, I consistently found myself tearing up to what is now the greatest film I have ever seen.

The film was good in many areas, including the cinematography and set, the powerful acting, and poetic dialogue, however I don’t believe any of that is what made this movie “great.” This film is great because of its message.

For those who question their existence and faith, watch this film.

Free Social Media Speech

On By Jack BurgerIn Current Opinion, Thoughts and TheoriesLeave a comment

Under constant attack from the communist left is our constitutional right to speak freely. Whether it is the policies from the openly communist social media platforms who rule the internet or the narrative which condemns said speech, the left is suppressing the right-wing narrative and solely promoting left-wing nonsense.

Free speech is suppressed by unconstitutional policies, though it is also suppressed by what society deems acceptable. In addition to platforms banning free speech, conservatives are under constant abuse from the left and cannot comfortably express their thought, for fear of backlash from leftists.

What society considers acceptable speech today has changed promptly in recent years. I believe the main culprit for this rapid change are the social media companies. In the past, all words were fair game, with no restrictions, no censorship, and no such thing as hate speech. In the past, if something on the internet made you uncomfortable, you would ignore it and continue to browse.

Today is different. Instead of a free society where people choose what they post and choose what they read, the media companies instead decide what is acceptable. While they claim to “promote a safe environment” by banning “hateful content” they are instead controlling what society deems acceptable (as noted earlier).

Prominent examples of censored “hate speech” include referring to a female as “woman” or referring to a male as “man,” speaking against government mandates and the vaccine effectiveness, the exploitation of corrupt political schemes not accepted by the mainstream media, and humor.

Regardless of how many individuals do not agree with a social media post, it must be tolerated. It is up to each individual decide for themselves what they find acceptable, not communist social media companies.

Think and Do the Opposite they Say

“Climate change is a global disaster, and we must swap over to clean energy.”

“Covid is deadly, and we need to shut down the economy, force people inside, and mandate vaccines in order to save lives.”

“Men can get pregnant, and gender is a social construct that doesn’t exist.”

“Republicans are racist.”

When the democrat-owned media are pushing these perspectives, we must understand that everything they say must not be taken seriously. The MSM has an aggressive and evil agenda in ties with their sponsor, democrats. While the media aggressively bashed Trump for his term (whether you liked him or not), he was unobjectively a better president than the current, unelected president. Despite the Potato and his administrations’ clear intent of destroying this country, the democrats and MSM relentlessly defend his every move and continue to ignore all the intentional “failures” his administration comprises.

When the MSM tells you to stay inside due to a dangerous, deadly virus first look at the numbers and the true potential dangers and whether or not the policies they are encouraging even work,

When the MSM suddenly redefines what a woman is, yet your entire life “woman” has meant “woman,” use common sense,

When the MSM is encouraging pedophiles and confused gender dysphoric lunatics to read and teach children in schools, do not fall for it,

When they call republicans racist yet are unable to cite a single example of racism,

When they suddenly push a global climate change crisis yet the ones pushing this narrative fly private jets and are yet to punish the countries responsible for most of the pollution,

When they tell us abortion is a constitutional right when it is not mentioned once in the constitution,

It is clear there is an agenda between democrats and the media, and in terms of the narratives they push, more often than not we must find ourselves thinking and doing the opposite they say.

The United States Government is Holding us Hostage

On By Jack BurgerIn Current Opinion, Thoughts and TheoriesLeave a comment

As the war continues in Ukraine, the United States continues to participate by heavily funding the corrupt Ukrainian government with roughly $55 billion dollars to date. Not only does this cost the citizens of the United States their money, but their safety as well.

Unbeknownst to the common man, Ukraine is just as corrupt as the United States.

Previously labeled a “far-right conspiracy theory” by the fake news MSM, the Pentagon finally admitted the United States and Ukraine have been working on 46 bio-labs.

“The United States has also worked collaboratively to improve Ukraine’s biological safety, security, and disease surveillance for both human and animal health, providing support to 46 peaceful Ukrainian laboratories, health facilities, and disease diagnostic sites over the last two decades.  The collaborative programs have focused on improving public health and agricultural safety measures at the nexus of nonproliferation.”

I believe this is part of the reason Putin has decided to invade Ukraine; to take control of the regions these labs are located.

Regardless the reason, Russia has noted the US’s consistent funding and support of Ukraine. Being the strong nationalist leader he is, Putin will put his country first and defend Russia from any threat by any means necessary. Including an attack on the US.
