What does it mean "don't have any firm values of their own" ? What kind of example can you provide ?
- h2odragon 5y agoAn example might be someone who once said "Labeling records for language is fascism!" but now fully supports blocking the distribution of content they now find offensive. Some people cannot see the contradiction, to them it seems a matter of "but thats what we want" alone.
- spaetzleesser 5y agoA lot of people pick teams and shape their values based on what the team tells them. You see that a lot in political parties. When “their” party pushes for something their supporters are for it. When the “other” party pushes something they are automatically against it. Same with the latest calls for censorship. People would be outraged if the “other” side had called for censorship but if “their” side calls for censorship they support it. Also see allegations about sexually abuse. People’s level of outrage about allegations is usually closely correlated with how much they agree with the person otherwise.
