Note that, that unfounded accusation of indifference (and the rest of the unfounded accusations) to other's people suffering comes with the additional layer of arrogance of taking as granted that censorship is a valid solution that will not have consequences even worst than the original problem.
It's like putting the most incompetent engineers in charge of architectural decisions in a system design and giving for granted that a service that is scaling fast and adding features to it will deliver 99.9999% uptime.
No.
- jodrellblank 4y agoNote that, that unfounded accusation of arrogance and authortarianism and narcissism comes with the additional layer of arrogance of taking as granted that censorship is bad and avoiding it will not have consequences even worse than doing it. Society puts/accepts restrictions on citizens behaviour for the wider good of society. Exactly which restrictions, on whom, and when, are always a matter of negotiation and shifting priorities. The classic example being someone shouting 'fire' in a crowded theater when there is no fire. Banning someone from your theater for doing that for a laugh is not narcissistic or arrogant, and only authoritarian in a pretty reasonable sense.
