Emphasis on theoretically.

may be slightly affected. Again, how is this relevant to a discussion on free speech?
My point was that there is no innate reason why race would lead to politically divergent opinions, at least not to the degree that it would lead to such major discord that it would require a fundamentally different model of free speech in society.
- MichaelZuo 3y agoI agree? That's why I replied with a 'Not quite true' instead of a flat 'No' or 'that's incorrect' or some variation. It's somewhat relevant since these epigenetic mutations can increase the probability of someone being a misanthrope, for example, that just hates other people and who doesn't care about their lack of free speech. Or vice versa, someone with increased anxiety/nervousness/etc., and would be exceedingly disturbed by even small regressions in free speech rights.
