The Majority.

Nope. The Majority.

Nope. anti-semetic is kinda big deal. We all should treat it as such and run from it like fire.
- ForgotMyPwOops 5y agoShould all speech be up for vote? Should all opinions that the majority disagree with be banned? I believe weakening protections such as free speech, which are used by the vulnerable to call attention to their plights, is much more likely to hurt Jewish people than allowing ostensibly antisemitic expression to exist

- worik 5y agoAt one point, in my home land (Aotearoa) it was considered perfectly reasonable by the majority to bring teams of white South Africans into the country to play games. They were whit South Africans because they would not allow black South Africans in their teams. The minority here fought long and hard to stop it, lost the battle (the team came and played their games against our local teams) but now are recognised as heros. No. It is not the majority who decides what is right and wrong.
