Control speech you control thought
It's overused but read 1984
cencorship is bad mkey.
tbh there are many books with that theme at least partially present
brave new world has some of that too
You reduce the words you can say you eventually reduce the possible thoughts you can think
and gulag archipelligo too
yeah they want to control speech and public discusson..
And eventually all dissenters have no physical way of dissenting
The end
speech has consequences lol
*and hate speech is violence*😜
banning words is silly, but speech isn't some holy act that must be protected
ofc it does, and so should the disproportional violent crime commited by a specific race
tbh if there are any holy things, free speech is prolly one

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
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
