Whether I commit murder is objective. Speech is always subjective.

Even if abortion is murder is objective based on the state laws. We see right now how government controlling speech that it doesn’t like is harmful.

Again I’m amazed that people want to give the government more power unnecessarily seeing the current abuses of power and how it is used to punish people the government doesn’t like.

We should limit the power of the government to only punishing things that infringe on our rights and our person.

There are many different ways humans can die and many different types of human involvement in sequence of events. This involvement is sometimes characterized as a causal contributor to death. Responsibility in a related death, is not objective. You are simply incorrect.

> Whether I commit murder is objective.

Homicide is objective. Murder is unlawful homicide and therefore subjective.

Even the line between homicide and manslaughter is subjective.

I'm amazed people pretend like corporations having immense power isn't a problem at all. I want the government to reduce the power of corporations to invasively and pervasively manipulate me through intrusive advertisements.

I mean, roe v wade clearly shows it is not objective at all. There's always edge cases in life. Abortion aside, also consider the context of self defense vs. Meditated murder with a plan to hide the body.

Well we've done a horrible job self-regulating. This abuse of power also teaches us that ideas without enforcement is just daydreaming. If that all you wanted to do in this article, go ahead.

Yes and the current government today isn’t already suppressing speech and going after organizations that say stuff it disagree with.

We are currently also doing a horrible job at eating correctly. Do you want the government to regulate how much we eat to?

No, actually, it is. Speech involving transgender individuals is being restricted.

References to trans people have even been scrubbed from NPS pages about Stonewall. It's heinous.
