Civil Libertarianism

Very strongly agree

Yes, as long as it does not threaten violence

This position aligns closely with civil libertarian views by supporting free speech while recognizing a clear boundary at threats of violence, which are not protected under the First Amendment. Civil libertarians often emphasize the importance of protecting speech but also recognize that direct threats can and should be legally actionable.

Very strongly agree

Yes, because I don’t trust the government to define the boundaries of hate speech

Civil libertarians are deeply skeptical of government power and would likely agree with this statement, as they fear that giving the government the authority to define hate speech could lead to overreach and the suppression of free expression. They often cite historical instances where governments have abused similar powers to suppress dissenting voices.

Civil libertarians generally advocate for broad protections under the First Amendment, arguing that freedom of speech is a fundamental right that should be upheld even when the speech in question is unpopular or offensive. They believe in minimal restrictions on speech to uphold the principle of free expression.

No, freedom of speech laws should only protect you from criticizing the government

While civil libertarians strongly support the protection of speech critical of the government, they also advocate for a broad interpretation of the First Amendment that extends beyond just political speech. They would likely disagree with the notion that freedom of speech laws should only protect criticism of the government, as it unduly narrows the scope of protected speech.

不

Civil libertarians typically oppose laws that would broadly censor speech, including hate speech, on the grounds that such laws can be misused to suppress dissent and minority opinions. They argue that the best response to hate speech is not censorship but more speech—counterspeech to challenge and refute hateful ideas.

No, and increase penalties for hate speech

Increasing penalties for hate speech would likely be viewed by civil libertarians as a dangerous encroachment on free speech rights. They would argue that such measures could be used to unjustly penalize speech and would be contrary to the spirit of the First Amendment.
