i honestly don't know much about the specifics of what this guy said and it could not matter less. the government does not have the right to do this to him. this has to be opposed vigorously. ignore anyone who tries to loop you into a discussion of the ethics of statement this guy made. immaterial.

I am happy to ally with even those on the right if they oppose fascism; we can argue the finer politics later but for now we align in opposition.
