I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.
- hootz 4mo agoThere are some things that I won't ever defend your right of saying them, to be honest.
- teekert 4mo agoAgree. This is more of a "ST Voyager 'Nothing Human'"-case.
- qtk8 4mo agoBut does this swedish Party say any things like that?
- Ghoelian 4mo agoYes. They want to get rid of immigrants for example.
- ahartmetz 4mo agoThat is like saying that the judicial system wants (all) people to go to prison. It leaves out the rather crucial "which people".
- addedGone 4mo agoIllegal immigrants?
- solid_fuel 4mo ago[flagged]
- ahartmetz 4mo agoIt's wrong. It's about "problem immigrants" and, to be honest, I didn't research further than that. It depends on the exact definition whether I agree or not with the proposal.
- solid_fuel 4mo agoYes, it is morally wrong to exclude people based on race. Correct.
- Dylan16807 4mo agoMass deportation like that is a terrible and destructive idea but that's well short of being unspeakable.
- denismenace 4mo agoMass deportation is terrible and destructive, but mass immigration is all good and has 0 negative consequences
- teekert 4mo agoWe need to add something to this nice rule about using services that are good from people we don't (fully) agree with. I'm not personally inclined to be so strict about this, but there are people with objections against the Proton CEO who once agreed with Trump on twitter, or DHH (there is this one blogpost about his extreme views). Etc.
- jzb 4mo agoA right to say something is not the same as the right to say (and do) something without being called out on it. He has the right to do what he’s doing. Other people have the right to react and say “That sucks, it’s against my values, I no longer trust you or want to do business with you.”
- dijit 4mo agobut if Mullvad did that to you, you would (rightly) be angry. Hence the irony.
- yw3410 4mo agoOkay - but that doesn't mean I'm not going to weigh up what you say when I'm choosing a business to support; especially if it's not in a professional context.
- devindotcom 4mo agobrave! but fortunately you are safe because no one is challenging his right to say it.
- sph 4mo agoI wish there were more people like you in the world. Have a great day.
- asdewqqwer 4mo agoPeople always conflate this statement. Only government can take "right" from people. Just opposing people don't make them lose their right. Otherwise it is taking away the right to say against what you say.
