We need to stop being afraid of these filthy, dirty, hook nosed KIKES. We are good people. They are the epitome of evil.

I would like to have your post removed. There is no place in this discussion for racism. There are a whole lot of pedo Catholic priests don't forget, and a whole lot of WASPs too - Sandusky for example.
So take it somewhere else.

We don't censor here.

that's not true - a no tolerance for anything promoting violence or vigilante justice is being discussed now by mods. This isn't 4chan, this is a public forum with an easily opened gate, which means that certain things like racism and violence which is sometimes associated with far alt right forums will do more harm for this topic than the temporary muting of people's free speech to be violence prone and/or racists. They are welcome to do that on other forums.

The only limit on free speech -- legally, and by constitutional definition -- is when the speech incites or could incite physical violence.

If voat wants to make it and stay afloat as a viable speech and information forum, the legal definition of free speech should be kept and people should just learn to grow a thicker skin toward speech they 'dislike'.

In other words, free speech is for the speech we don't like, not for the speech we agree with. Merely racist or distasteful speech should NOT be banned. Free speech is a bulwark of any investigation and of any sane society. It should not be tampered with (unless, as I said, it will result in violence). We need free speech - speech that is distasteful, unpleasant, or even ugly -- to be allowed in this way to keep civil society.

other forums on Voat can do different things - this forum has a benefit from staying away from race baiting, vigilante justice, violence type comments because of it's specific purpose. There are plenty of places for people to exercise their speech, this is about investigating pizzagate. I'm not going to argue with you, if you don't get it, so be it.
