More speech slipping through the government's fingers just means they need to tighten their grip more?
- piva00 4y agoNo, it needs to be brought into political discussion and a real analysis of how and why such speech has been spreading and tolerated. I believe that curtailing speech that is hateful is needed while I'm not equipped to define what's hateful speech but believe we have enough scholars who studied hate speech, paradox of tolerance, and the many other facets that pure absolute free speech can take that is detrimental to society to be able to debate in the appropriate forum what could deter those ideas from spreading through the mindless hateful folk. I love how more and more I completely agree that this parody of Hacker News [1] approaches how discussions are done here. From my take where I believe that right-wingers and libertarians are forcing the tolerance of intolerants based purely on ideology I get replies saying that I'm both arguing for a censorship State to a TL;DR from a numbwit under a throwaway account stating that I'm calling for communism. It's truly mesmerising how shallow people can be. [1] http://bradconte.com/files/misc/HackerNewsParodyThread/ http://bradconte.com/files/misc/HackerNewsParodyThread/
