@mtaibbi what would the alternative be? They're young and motivated to change the world, not follow boomers' rules

@TonyBoloney4 So, fight unfairly, because you have to?

@mtaibbi fair point but I think the issue is different here. Young folks are fighting and their protest is meant to raise awareness, since they can't compete with the pro Israeli influence through American media and institutions

I think it’s not a numerical contest and when you’re respectful of others’ rights, you’re doing something for you, not for them. You’re protecting something that belongs to you as well as them.

@mtaibbi you think Zionists and pro-Israel folks have their rights neglected in America?
Is it even close to be a fair game between the 2 positions?

The statement '@TonyBoloney4 The First Amendment is a “Boomer rule”?' constitutes public discourse as it engages in a discussion about the relevance and interpretation of the First Amendment in the context of generational views and societal change. This discussion is part of a broader conversation about rights, activism, and societal norms, which are substantive public issues.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not directly cause harm but may trivialize important constitutional rights, potentially undermining their perceived value. [-1]
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement respects privacy and dignity, avoiding any personal attacks or sensitive personal information. [+1]
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement lacks a tone of understanding, empathy, or compassion, as it dismissively labels the First Amendment as a 'Boomer rule,' which could alienate or antagonize certain demographics. [-1]
  4. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement engages in a form of dialogue but does so in a dismissive manner that might not foster constructive criticism or effective dialogue. [-1]
  5. Principle 6:
    I will use my influence for the betterment of society.
    The statement uses influence to provoke thought or debate about generational perspectives on constitutional rights, but it does so in a way that might not clearly contribute to societal betterment.
  6. Principle 7:
    I will uphold the principles of free speech and use my platform responsibly and with integrity.
    The statement uses the platform to discuss important issues like the First Amendment; however, the dismissive tone might not fully uphold the integrity expected in responsible discourse.
