He certainly can, but that doesn't mean he can't suffer any consequences. Free Speech means he won't be arrested by the government. It doesn't protect him from being fired by his employer, or from being ostracized by society for his beliefs.

Case in point, F Champ is free to express whatever garbage opinions he might have. He's not in jail right now, he's not facing charges, he's not being held fiscally liable for anything. But if his employer decides that he's not the type of public figure that they want to associate with, and if Capcom decides that he's not someone they want to associate their brand with, they're well within their rights to ban him from their events.

Quotes got mixed up. That one is mine.

I agree with all of that. I was responding to the dude relating libel/slander to hate speech.

You can tell the Washington Post that you hate group-xyz.

You can't tell the Washington Post that Bob said he hates group-xyz. Without proof, that is.

That's all.

Kanye Finally Dumps Trump: ‘I’m Taking the Red Hat Off’

Kanye West is done with Donald Trump.In an utterly wild interview with Forbes magazine, the star—one of Trump’s most prominent and unusual celebrity backers—announced that he no longer supports the president, saying, “I am taking the red hat off, with this interview.” West didn’t explain exactly...

Oh this is good. I needed this laugh.

Kanye has been completely out of his mind since his mother died way back when, but the last year or so of Born Again Yeezy has been particularly scary.
World famous or not, I can't see this going very far. Just another well known mogul with an oversized ego. If he was actually clear headed and rational, this might worry me as far as siphoning votes from Biden. But he's severely bipolar and almost certain to sabotage his own efforts. Reminds me a lot of Antonio Brown losing his mind after taking that huge shot to the head and never being the same after.

In summation, as someone who's watched every Presidential election play out since 2004, including the third-party runs of the Ralph Naders and Gary Johnsons of the world, he's too crazy to take seriously. All talk, no plans.

So they can vote on him even though he didn't get to register?
Huh... you guys are fucked. I mean, even more fucked, that is.

I don't know for sure, but yeah I think essentially it's a null/wasted vote since he's not "legal" or whatever.

If I had to guess, I'd say this is just a charade. He's still cool with Trump, and in the end if he gets just 10% of the voters who would have voted for Biden to vote fro him instead, then he's accomplished his goal.

Is he?

He is running for president to take away votes from Biden so that Trump can win.

LOL.

The irony is that a good portion of Kanye fans were going to vote for Trump considering his constant love for him in the last few years. He's now pulling votes away from Trump to him.

It's not the galaxy brain move you think it is. You've been played.

LOL.

I agree, but I respect the fact that he is an independent thinker who does not allow affluent white liberals to tell him what to do.

i say this as a huge fan of Kanye who’s been wanting dude to go to therapy for how he’s been on one since his mother died & he feels responsible for it.

Kanye has not thought critically about a damn thing in years. The man has not read, studied, or strongly critiqued anything in years. More & more the term free thinker just screams loud fucking moron.

At this point, the volcano under Yellowstone will erupt before I ever get an answer to my repeated "who on the left is as bad as the right" questions," but I guess I'm too foolish to be worth responding to.

On the bright side, I really am going on Teespring tomorrow when I get paid and getting an official "LIBERAL IDEOLOGUE" t-shirt made that I'll be posting pictures of if this thread is still open by then. In two decades of having these arguments and debates with people from all walks of life, I've never felt to simultaneously vindicated and gross for being right in my life, and I'm going to commemorate the occasion.
