Flamewar? Only in some self serving interpretation. These same rules disagree with you on your comment.
Free speech is a right, I'd argue a human right. Inalienable, guaranteed, innate and hugely important. Yes, you can live without it.
But so you can live without the right of free movement, without equality before the law, without freedom, without right to being alive, and this is actually how most of our history was. These rights are a rather recent innovation.
But should you? Should we? Eroding human rights only leads to dystopia. Human rights are an innovation of civilisation, of progress.
- dang 7y agoThe internet forum comment, as a genre, can't bear this level of rhetorical weight and fire. It's too trivial.
