>classical liberals (i.e they express their distaste by disagreeing vigorously but they will defend your right to say something they disagree with) vs thinking someone's feelings will get hurt and that being reason enough for silencing someone.
That is not what a classical liberal is. And even if it was true please do tell me would a classical liberal view abusing administrative privilege as "classical liberal characteristic"?
Since that is what went down ultimately.
- snapplebobapple 2y agoAlthough I am not exactly sure what youare talking about when you refer to abuse of admin privilege (they said some nasty things to someone they didn't agree with and then banned them, perhaps you are referring to the banning?) A classical liberal would say you are on someone's private property that they are free to run how they please so STFU unless actual crime is being committed on the premises.

Two things can be true, yes a classical liberal will indeed be okay with you doing whatever you want on your premise ad long as no crime isn't committed, however it does not mean the clsssical liberal will condone the person's actions on the premise.
- snapplebobapple 2y agoYou don't have to condone the person's actions. I don't see how any of this makes my original statement that the community is basically classical liberals untrue. You are pointing out one person's behaviour that is consistent with classical liberalism while also being consistent with being a dick and using it to paint a whole community. None of it invalidates the original claim individually for vaxry or for the community as a whole.
- 0dayz 2y agoYou can't call yourself a liberal and pretend to like authoritarianism even done in private. Just because you legally tolerate it doesn't mean you ought to agree from a principle perspective. It's the same about lying, lying is not protected under free speech but there's barely any laws against lying. >You are pointing out one person's behaviour that is consistent with classical liberalism This person is the admin stop trying to hide crucial details. And their behavior is not principly classical liberal unless you believe being an authoritarian is classical liberal. >to paint a whole community When it comes to their discord yes, as they actively cheered on and supported said action.
