Supporting free speech and being a racist are not the same thing. If implying they are ever becomes as taboo as overt racism is today, would you expect supporters of free speech to defend you?
- sofixa 5y agoI think their point is that the people who complain about their free speech being stifled for being fired after a twitter or tiktok spat are usually, far more often than not, the type that berated young women for their swimwear or were spewing racist stuff.
- SuoDuanDao 5y agoThat's probably true, but I don't think it's relevant. An awful lot of us who don't find our own speech being stifled still don't want the free speech of others infringed either. I may not have anything dangerous to say today, but I should still defend my right to say something dangerous tomorrow.
