No matter how garbage the claims are they will continue to do damage and get people hurt. I have a very hard time believing in any form of free speech where this kind of speech is protected.
Yeah, it really seems that there needs to be some sort of consequences for this. I saw someone referring to it as “lawfare” for the first time, and I think that’s rather apt. This is attempting to disingenuously commit violence on the infrastructure of society.
