And I’ve watched the things you’re talking about be used to propose legislation against free speech, and the path you want to take is more slippery than the slipperiest slope imaginable.

Censorship gains traction under the guise of reasonable sounding proposals and always leads to misuse. I have no doubt you have good intentions at heart, but I super promise other people don’t and they will use any legislation available as a way to curtail dissent, treason, and sedition.

I promise we’re better off with havens for free speech.

You are the only one talking about Nazis and Porn. Your argument reeks of strawman, attacking the concept for something it isn’t even.

You know who it does protect? Minorities, freedom fighters, people trying to get in and out of bad situations with fascist governments and restrictions on what they can say and who they can speak out against.

People like you, you specifically, you are exactly the problem.

Your comment is so mired in ignorance, to think you would oppose free speech over how it would be abused and ignore the net positive is exactly how we’re losing freedoms each and every day.

People like you are ruining the world while telling people you’re fixing it.

Who the fuck said anything about porn of any kind? People always use protecting kids as a way to censor the Internet and it’s almost always in bad faith.

Honestly at this point I want to host a distributed Lemmy instance and completely ignore all country laws in favor of complete and absolute freedom of speech.

It might sound extreme, but pretty sure at this point I’d be willing to die for it given the state of global politics.

It’s legit brilliant, and I unironically love it.

I honestly loved Forspoken. I even bought a second physical copy in case something happens to the original.

Getting hung from a tree in a gate crime

Why you would do this?

Honestly feel really bad for the guy. He goes to end his own life and gets murdered for it. He was right at the edge of what he could handle and the traffic stop and arrest was enough to put him over the edge.

Whether this sounds crazy or not, I possess the empathy enough to understand exactly how this person felt in his last moments.

I did. We were talking about freedom of speech, so opinions and beliefs are about the only things people really disagree about to the point of violence with regards to speech.

Insane take. We don’t have the right to physical violence just for a difference of opinion.

Honestly what I’m saying shouldn’t be a hot take. Freedom of speech has long been a classical liberal position.

Freedom of speech for absolutely everyone, especially people I disagree with and that disagree with me

This screams that people with different opinions aren’t people with valid opinions and lead to further dialectic conversation, and I reject that premise.

Conservatives should be welcome. Everyone should be welcome.

This has always been the case.

Where we’re going we don’t need facts

I say appree-see-ate for appreciate, and artif-isss-ee-al for artificial.

I don’t think you understand the joke. Usually people switch to Linux dual booting coming from Windows, I was making the opposite joke - starting from Linux and dual booting into Windows and then switching.

PS. I once set up BURG and quad booted 4 Linux distros, get on my level
