None of what you wrote even remotely compares to the parent comment. You're trying to be witty by using a simile but it's falling flat.

- emilfihlman 8y agoDo explain how it's falling flat? It's exactly a point against what OP argues, that trading (human) rights for "security" (theatre) is a good trade, which it absolutely is not.
- scrollaway 8y agoIt fell flat because your comparison was wildly exaggerated. The two rights are not equivalent, they're not even treated equivalently anywhere in the world. You also blew the arguments out of proportion which is likely why your comment got flagged. Furthermore while you may call this security theater, the spread of propaganda is actually dangerous. Being able to fight it is as important as being able to give people free speech. Remember the Golden rule: your human rights stop where others' begin. Hate speech and propaganda aren't free, they infringe on some people's right to safety. It's only a bad trade if your want to spread said propaganda is more important to you than your right to be safe from it.
