It’s not bad to suppress political views that incite violence, mob mentality, provably false narratives, or other abhorrent types of speech (cue the typical child porn examples). The alarm is in not having a standard of discourse and then banning certain types of political views that are otherwise within the confines of polite discourse.
- sn0w_crash 4y agoYour definition of “incite violence” might be other people asking why they need to remove their child’s penis. Your definition of “mob mentality” might be a group of Asian students asking why they’re being discriminated against in college admissions. Your “probably false narrative” might be someone committing the sin of saying that covid leaked from a Chinese lab. The list goes on and on.
- syzarian 4y agoI didn’t give a definition of incite violence. Also said “provably” not “probably”. It’s not provably false that covid came from a lab.
