It sounds like you have replaced a moral framework with a legal one. But the question of censorship is fundamentally a question of morality. It matters not how legal or illegal specific actions are in this discussion, so the legal means of enforcement that you rely on for your argument are a red herring.
- alphanullmeric 4y agoThen you heard incorrectly. What I said is what I believe to be moral. You can’t arrest someone over non violent speech. Force is only justified in response to force. And at the same time, if you agree to enforcement you aren’t getting your rights violated.
- uoaei 4y agoNeither "enforcement" nor "arrest" carries moral content. But you use both terms freely in justifying your allegedly-moral position, unfortunately implying your conception of "rights" is one based only on those granted by an enforcement body. It is hard to discern any moral content here, and I suspect there is none.
- alphanullmeric 4y agoWhat? If I’m morally against using force to prevent non-forceful speech, why would that not also be my legal position?
