Or paint a depiction of the Salem Witch Trials on the wall of CNN's HQ during the Kavennaugh hearings, but with Blaisey-Ford's face on Abigail Williams.
That would be transgressive. A rioter throwing flowers?? LMFAO. Waste of talent.

Re: Quotes
I'm prepared to admit I may have been wrong in principle about Count Dankula (although the freedom to be grossly offensive is not good for any society) but the Tommy Robinson case was not a free speech issue.
Robinson was trying to pervert the course of justice with his presumption of guilt broadcasting and contempt of court. He risked the case being abandoned by influencing the jury in the upcoming related case.
His Islamophobia was exposed by his lack of interest in protesting when two fellow EDL members were prosecuted for rape and child grooming.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

Re: Quotes
“Wherever something is wrong, something is too big. If the stars in the sky or the atoms of uranium disintegrate in spontaneous explosion, it is not because their substance has lost its balance. It is because matter has attempted to expand beyond the impassable barriers set to every accumulation. Their mass has become too big. If the human body becomes diseased, it is, as in cancer, because a cell, or a group of cells, has begun to outgrow its allotted narrow limits. And if the body of a people becomes diseased with the fever of aggression, brutality, collectivism, or massive idiocy, it is not because it has fallen victim to bad leadership or mental derangement. It is because human beings, so charming as individuals or in small aggregations, have been welded into overconcentrated social units such as mobs, unions, cartels, or great powers.”

Re: Quotes
“Today’s environmentalists are more likely to be found at corporate conferences hymning the virtues of ‘sustainability’ and ‘ethical consumption’ than doing anything as naive as questioning the intrinsic values of civilisation. Capitalism has absorbed the greens, as it absorbs so many challenges to its ascendancy. A radical challenge to the human machine has been transformed into yet another opportunity for shopping.”

“We are witnessing, not the natural end of a great human civilization, but the birth of an inhuman civilization that could never have come into being without a vast, an immense, a universal sterilization of life’s highest values.”
— Georges Bernanos

I think hypocrisy depends on a lack of self-awareness.
They can’t see their hypocrisy if they never look in a mirror.

Personal attack rather than a rebuttal of the argument.
