As living creatures these people are not ostracized. They can still eat and get healthcare.
They choose to go beyond that.
They’re not owed the fealty of others above and beyond supporting common human needs.
- xyzelement 6y agoI'm talking about the value to society of free speech. I can't parse what you're talking about.
- w8tTh0 6y agoFree speech is not forcing others to support ideas they do not agree with. Why should everyone have to distribute others ideas? The idea that we’re just routers for everyone is anti-free thought. Generalizes everyone to personal agents for all. That’s hardly allowing for dissent. Physical reality that obliges everyone to support everything equally is not a free reality.
- xyzelement 6y agoOh I see. Yes I agree nobody should be compelled to distribute the ideas of others. What bothers me is when people celebrate the suppression of others without seeing how that knife can cut the other way very quickly.
- w8tTh0 6y agoThey’re still out there plotting. Have they truly been suppressed? They can still engage in a fulfilling life for themselves or continue to demand of others. Let’s see what they choose.
