freedom of speech was hardly enjoyed in nazi Germany, soviet Russia, WW2's ultranationalist Japan.
Sometimes I wonder if certain people are using "free speech" as a stepping stone to authoritarianism to then destroy freedom of speech.
- ttt0 6y agoWhat is even your point? Just because you're saying something on Facebook doesn't mean that the law of the country you're in doesn't apply to you anymore. You still have to abide to your law. What this does is that it only removes the restrictions of the platform, so you can get only more free speech, not less. > Sometimes I wonder if certain people are using "free speech" as a stepping stone to authoritarianism to then destroy freedom of speech. Have you ever entertained the idea that a similar thing could apply to the side that you support?

Of course, and I fully support it because it's foundational to a healthy society: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance
- ttt0 6y agoMy point was exactly about that. People will believe anything. We've used the pretense of fighting against terrorism to invade other countries. Now you're being pandered to with raised fists, rainbow flags and feminism to go along with some of the immoral practices of neoliberalism and corporate capitalism. Paradox, AKA cognitive dissonance. Just don't call yourself tolerant, nothing wrong with that.
