So you deny that words can cause damage?

Charles Manson was convicted for murders he didn't do himself, so there is obviously a limit in how much damage you're allowed to do with words.

Many dictators didn't kill anyone themselves, they just talked others into it.

Or think of the Hamas leaders who talked their people into the actrocity of the October 7 attacks.

I just want to know where people draw the line.

BTW the whole MAGA thing is based on the assumption of damage that is caused by words. You know the whole LGBTQIA2S+, DEI and climate change stuff our kids get indoctrinated with by schools, universities and the liberal media.

Words can and do cause a lot of damage, up to and including destroying a nation. But in the US, we're supposed to be tough enough and Constitution-loving enough to handle it.

But I wouldn't bet any money on us, given what I've seen in the last 10 years.
