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?
The Anarchist Library has an interesting article regarding “free speech” you may find of value.
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.

We are a libertarian community. There are no restrictions regarding different stances on the political spectrum, but all posts should be related to the philosophy of libertarianism.
Be polite to others and respects each others opinions. We don’t want any form of gatekeeping or circlejerk culture here.
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!
This community is fundamentally built upon freedom of speech. Since everyone understands libertarianism differently and we do not want to exclude any kind of content a priori, we appeal to the individual users to block/mute posts or users who do not meet their requirements. Please bear this in mind when filing a report
