If you read some alt right content (like 4chan /pol/), you might agree that some opinions deserve to be censored. Hate and stupidity breed more hate and stupid

Hate and stupidity breed more hate and stupidity. If we approach this situation from a generic perspective we can defend free speech and argue against censorship; but if we talk about speech such as antisemitism, homophobia or black people hate, we cannot defend it anymore.
- BlueTemplar 5y agoThe way that an opinion is expressed matters a lot : https://www.ecosophia.net/conversation-as-commons/ https://www.ecosophia.net/conversation-as-commons/
- busymom0 5y agoSomehow we achieved major accomplishments like civil rights act and gay marriage and defeating the bad guys when free speech was at its peak few decades ago. So I would disagree with your comment. Only way to defeat extremism is by absolute freedom speech. Else you are throwing it under the rug.
