And that there is the root of the problem I have with the recent discourse. That the ends (fighting covid) justify the means (silencing legitimate debate, chilling effects, authoritarianism). I disagree in the strongest of terms.
The real concern is what happens when a truly scary leader gets their hands on those new powers you've just handed them.
As always, these debates need to happen in the open, as messy as that is. Shine light on bad ideas, don't let them fester in the cellar.
- Guvante 5y agoWe aren't talking about a government. We are talking about private businesses. These aren't debates, they are shouted opinions to the ether. Honestly the bit about censorship not being bad was a bit. The "moderates" only reduce vaccination rate if you define moderate to include "it isn't that effective" or "you could die" which isn't a good definition of moderate.
