But one of the questions I said to him, and this is, I think, where it really is not as simple as I think you're saying for the following reason.

I said to him, look, do you think it should be

allowed to call for an armed revolution on social media and she was like no do you i was like well i don't know but what i'm saying is this country wouldn't exist if people were not allowed to call for an armed revolution on the equivalent of social media of their time the united states would not exist right well there were people arrested yeah sedition against the king

TRIGGERnometry
