tbh if there are any holy things, free speech is prolly one

<:thonk:432992056214945818>

i mean im very fedora athiest, so holy shit is dumb, but there are not many things i can think of that should be more holy

*tips fedora*

life, liberty, happiness, compassion, charity, etc etc

speech is neutral in and of itself afaic

its how you fix societies that lack all those things

without burning em to the ground first

ah, darn

@Jasse not really, both sides are obsessed with censorship when it's authoritarian.

uwu notices ur centrism

*nuzzles*

horse shoe intensifies.

centrists are the most anti-free speech tbh
any radical would be for free speech, since restrictions would target them first

<:bigbrain:419633628264398851>

i do wonder how a centrist could be against free speech, walk me trough it

I think it's a shitpost or something idk.

shh

i was doing the centrist thing

Lolwut

centrists want to protect the status quo, aye?
hate speech, threats of violence, calls for revolution, leaking government secrets, they all threaten the status quo, so centrists should want to restrict it

<:shrug_raka:430185885988945921>

correct me if i'm wrong

i dont think centrists want to protect the status quo at all

at least i dont

you identify as a centrist?

internet centrists tend to believe, in my experience, that no one side holds all the answers, and to expect a side of the political compas to come up with all answers is silly

they also eat bees

🐝

woke

we probably define centrism differently then

<:uwu:427681453908688907>

i honestly dont think many centrists online, believe the status quo is the answer, proportionally i think its almost nil

not 100% of the status quo, that'd be pretty much impossible
they just oppose any fundamental change ime

hmmm i think thats conservative

Depends what kind of centrists tbh

Those who uphold the status quo are definitely right wings

i'm amazed how many definitions of centrist there are, each tribe has it's own few

tru dat
