    Edit 8 days later: Wow, a lot of people really like using their free speech rights to advocate against free speech…Weird.

    If you don’t support the free speech rights of the people you hate the most, then you don’t support free speech at all.

    All censorship is bad. One day it’s naughty racial words and then the next day religious zealots can lock people up for saying “god” in the wrong context.

          As all real free speech advocates will tell you in opposition to „free speech absolutist“ elon musk is that you are free from government intervention for being of different opinion but not free to harass others with -isms.

          You’re not free to dump on women, poc, neurodivergents, disabled people and any other minority.

                Words aren’t violence. and naughty-racial words, are words.

                I actually want people to be allowed to say those things, why? Because if someone says it out loud, unapologetically when they say they hate those n-words in their schools. Well now I know who to stay away from.

      Doesn’t mean you don’t support free speech. When I join a chatroom and someone is just typing shit over and over trying to get a rise and I ignore/block them, I don’t agree that I’m against free speech, I’m against harassment.
