No, but it's usually the unsaid implication when stating that certain opinions, ideas, or media outlets are threats to democracy and "we need to do something".

No, but it's usually the unsaid implication when stating that certain opinions, ideas, or media outlets are threats to democracy and "we need to do something". Perhaps instead of arresting, it's fining, or silencing, or some other method of enforcement. Regardless, the counter-argument remains the same.
- andrewflnr 4y agoMaybe these conversations would be more productive if we didn't make so many unwarranted presumptions of malice on the parts of our opponents.
- danenania 4y agoI don't presume any malice, fwiw. I understand why people hold these positions and am sympathetic to the reasoning. I just disagree. Apologies though if you feel I've misrepresented your position.
- andrewflnr 4y agoFair, I suppose you didn't specifically accuse me any more than I specifically proposed arresting wrongthinkers. :)
