What do you think of the CBS news anchor that stated that free speech essentially caused the holocaust in Nazi Germany?

You can't make this shit up. She literally said “He was standing in a country where free speech was weaponized to conduct a genocide"

If the left wasn't already anti free speech this pretty much proves it.

I would tell her what uncle Ben told Peter Parker. "With great power comes great responsibility". In the words of Edmund Burke "The only thing necessary for evil to triumph in the world is for good men to do nothing".

Don't be afraid of words. Words are not harmful if you're educated and can call b. s. when you see it. Don't just follow the pack. The pack is frequently wrong. And that's how Nazism took hold and grew.

Its not free speech, but the tolerance paradox.

Those who are intollerant benefit greatly from society tolerating their dangerous behaviour.

But thats much different than "Free speech caused the holocaust".

On hand yes but on the other it was taken away by the time of the holocaust

At this time next year CBS will be a network without an FCC license. They have operated outside the public interest for decades. It is about time they were held accountable.

Free speech can have consequences but no free speech has even more

Historically and politically illiterates.
