Jonah+B’s+Final+AmEx+Speech+2016

Freedom of Speech I hope to someday live in an America where everyone has the freedom to say whatever they want, unless they have opinions that I disagree with. You see, I'm always right, so if you don't agree with me, you’re either stupid or wrong or both, and your opinions are offensive and toxic to society. And frankly, I don't think that I should have to listen to your terrible ideas. Now, don't get me wrong. I don't have a problem with reasonable political discussions. I love discussion. I have some friends, who share most of my opinions, and we talk about political topics, and bounce ideas off each other, and it's great. However, I can't have reasonable political discussions with people who have different views than I do, because they aren't reasonable people. And if they were reasonable, they would agree with me. Obviously. Instead of having a thoughtful conversation, they just rant about their thoughts without any consideration of the possibility that they could be wrong. Also, those assholes are so stupid that they have to resort to using insults or profanity to respond to my well-crafted and thoughtful arguments, because they aren't smart enough to come up with any actual responses. So what should we do about this class of rude, thoughtless, hypocritical group of people? Their ideas are clearly harmful to society, so what would be best was if we made it illegal for them to express their contrary opinions in public or in private. Then there would be no risk of them corrupting normal people like you are me. However, this ideal society is unlikely to exist, due to the limitations created by the Bill of Rights. So what I’m going to--and you should do this as well--is to insult these people, blame them for this country's problems, and just generally dehumanize them. I plan on continuing to deepen the division between us and them in order to protect my pride, protect my feelings of superiority, and protect myself from having to respect someone who I disagree with. Because if I respect them, I’m betraying the ideals that I stand for. Instead of trying to change their opinion, I plan to alienate these people, because I’m not really looking for a debate: I’m looking for an enemy and now that I’ve found one, I can't let them get away.
