It's horrible and racist but at least there is free speech. It's too bad we can't have free speech without this sort of thing. Perhaps one day people will become kinder and less racist. It scares me but the alternative of no free speech scares me more.
I mean this is less of a free speech issue and more of a lack of information and education issue coupled with foreign disinformation campaigns. And specifically for America, also a societal isolation issue. Americans outside downtown rarely get any human contact and it shows, as trust between neighbors deteriorates. This sort of stuff is far less prevalent in countries that put more value in education and building communities.
... that said I think there's a huge difference between suggesting that this kind of thing be made illegal, and criticizing people with power and influence (including politicians) for actively encouraging it and benefiting from it
Paradox of tolerance
Oh, just put your mask on and get back out there, numbnuts
i'm jewish and gay... and more scared of totalitarian "benevolent" governments than nazis. at least nazis let you die. benevolent governments think your thoughts and existence are property of the state.
Lol good luck with that
thanks, i'll probably need it at the current trajectory that the US is on. if i am wrong and being executed by a hoard of Nazis/neo-conservatives in the future, i'll think of you and realize you were right and i was wrong.
Do you realise that other developed countries have free speech too but no nazis on the street? We might no have in our brainwash hymn how free and brave we are, but we are.
