The problem with debate is that it hinders organized action.
At some point in any emergency, organized action has to be prioritized over debate.
Maybe that is still authoritarian, but they do say to have moderation in all things!

- zmgsabst 1y agoThat’s not at all how you’re taught to handle emergencies. From health emergencies to shootings to computer system crashes to pandemics — doing things without a reason to believe they’ll improve the situation is dangerous. You can and many have made things worse. And ignoring experts shouting “wait, no!” is a recipe for disaster. When we were responding to COVID, we had plenty of time to have that debate in a candid way. We just went down an authoritarian path instead.
