The amount of downvoting on opinions you disagree with in this thread is disappointing. It’s funny that the discussion is about listening to others we disagree

It’s funny that the discussion is about listening to others we disagree with, but simultaneously valid ideas/comments are being grayed out and pushed down into obscurity
- humanrebar 7y agoI think downvoting for toxic tone is fair, especially if the tone is rooted in bigotry.
- youdontknowtho 7y agoThis is the point that I think lots of people have been trying to make. This talk about "free speech" is a con. The far right says as much explicitly. They don't want free speech, they want their position legitimized. Calls for civility are the same BS. They advocate for the removal of rights and franchise from whole parts of the population and then complain when people aren't "civil". It's a dodge. The downvotes are just a symptom of that.
