You know, I'm not from the US, so I probably have a different view on free speech.
People should be allowed to say what they want, BUT - If anyone thinks that they have to say or think that jews/black people/woman are evil, less worth etc., they can fuck right off. In my opinion there's no justifiable reason whatsoever to be racist, xenophobic and the like.
- namero999 6y agoDon't get me wrong, I perfectly know what you mean, and on a certain level I perfectly agree... but where do you draw the line? What about THEIR opinions about YOUR opinions? Do you see what I mean? I think the only reasonable place where to draw the line is the public incitement of violence over other people. If someone thinks that blacks/woman are less worthy, I'd rather try to engage them in discourse or, last resort, ignore them. But censor them is a double edged sword.
- 4ggr0 6y agoYou know, you are really opening my eyes right now. I never really thought about this aspect. With "engage them" you mean that you rather talk to them, right?
- namero999 6y agoYes, engage in discourse. I mean, have a conversation and argument why I think they are wrong or whatever. I don't see any other way, to hate or shut off the haters doesn't sound like a solution, because from a certain perspective we are the "other side" too. It's delicate.
