Agreed and to preface, not a comment on Reddit: Usually the defense of free speech means defending the less worthy of using it for those times when for when its truly worthy, there's just really no middle ground.
- studentrob 11y agoYour sentence is a bit muddled. I'm not sure if you're in agreement with the above comment or not. You say "there's no middle ground" but you are also saying people usually only defend free speech at certain "times ... when its truly worthy". There certainly is no middle ground. You must defend it all the time or defend it not at all, because once you lose free speech you will not get it back without a fight
- nekopa 11y agoI read the sentence to mean that you have to defend free speech for the less worthy so that free speech is still there for the truly worthy. Seems like he is in agreement with you.
