Yes, particularly with controlling what can be said, especially political speech.
It's kind of crazy that we finally agreed that the government doesn't have the right to unfairly treat two gay dudes who want to get married, but now if someone doesn't want to serve them the cake the government can force you to. No matter how righteous either act, we just traded one form of tyranny for another and made no progress in understanding the importance of the lesson. When can we just agree that telling you what to think should have never been a legitimate role of government in the first place? It is a concept fundamentally and completely opposed to democracy and individual liberty.
- AgentME 9y agoIs it a similarly-terrifying tyranny when the government forces restaurants to serve black people?
- wallace_f 9y agoYou know I can appreciate some good snarkiness like this; but to be fair, governments almost always sell tyranny to the people in the name of moral righteousness. I guess what it comes down to is what you fear more: tyranny or some racist people with restaurants.
