Are you kidding me?
Being "radical" is all about the overton window
For example you would probably be a radical in the middle ages
And they would be a radical now
I'm talking about the modern day definition
Well I'm not violent and if I am radical then fine but it doesn't change anything
adopting flowery language isnt changing anything
Yes it does
Do you believe in free speech?
Language determines how we see the very world
Have you read 1984
yea
It contains a perfect demonstration of how language is all important in how we see the world
I believe in freedom of speech but not in gratuitous offensiveness
you can change your language all you like, a deformity will still be a deformity
there is no but, you either believe in free speech or not
So you think people should not be able to speak there mind freely?
All ideas should be allowed even those which are offensive but people should not be allowed to be offensive for the sake of being offensive
so no comedy allowed
Not if it's offensive
If you intend to upset people for the sake upsetting people then you shouldn't say it
Do you agree with having hate speech laws? The police coming to your home and telling you off for saying somthing on the internet?
And society should be against it
I think that banning them from social media is enough
No need to arrest people
I say things all the time with the sole intention of upsetting someone
Well you should be re-educated in order to see how that is harmful to your fellow humans
We all need to live on this world
heh
Wether you like it or not
you need to be re-educated to be less sensitive
Would you support a alternative social media that allows people to express unpopular opinions? For free speech
So long as it was clear what sort of discussion was going on and people were aware that it was an unsafe and potentially harmful space
And that what was said in those spaces stayed in those spaces
unsafe online?
how does that work?
Well twitter is a public platform so it should be safe
But if you have a private discord server with clear warnings about what is going to be said then it's fine
It's all about autonomy and respect
whos making the decisions of 'safe'?
