I'd argue that whilst it is the source of the debate that I'm currently only interested in the tangential discussion regarding freedom of speech and whether it is ok to label someone a Nazi because you disagree with them.
You can discuss Musk with other people, I'm not interested.
I'm not getting drawn in to the debate of wether it was or wasn't.
I'm defending people's rights to have an opinion without being labeled a Nazi by default because it trivialises the awful crimes commited in WWII.
Denying the holocaust is a crime in some countries, and with good reason. Let me know when we're not allowed to discuss the actions of Musk.
It's an opinion. I'm not saying it was, I'm not saying it wasn't, I'm expressing some level of doubt, nothing more nothing less.
But I'm not here to talk about musk's salute, I'm here to say people are entitled to an opinion.
I'm not arguing about Musk here, I'm arguing whether people should be allowed to express themselves.
Ok, that's fine, but what you are doing is equating everyone that expresses a different opinion on musks salute to a Nazi, and whilst I understand why that is a popular opinion here, I don't think it's entirely helpful.
You could say it's your opinion that they are gullible, delusional, easily misled or whatever else, let me know when democracy, the rule of law and human rights are being infringed and let's talk.
asks definition of a wordwhen given the definition moves the goal posts in an incredibly condescending way.
Why don't you stop criticising me as a person and say what you want to say in plain English?
I take it you can't articulate your problem with my argument and that's why you have a problem with me instead.
Opinion:
a view or judgement formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge
What's your point? Other than trying to discredit me by insinuating I'm an idiot?
I never thought that endorsing the freedom of speech would be so controversial!
Nice opinion, you're entitled to that!
Free speech means having to read and hear things you don't like or disagree with every now and again. I personally think bans should be restricted to hate speech or else we'll sleep walk in to an echo chamber.
I'd be getting bored if it was an echo chamber of any flavour.
As I've said in other comments, I'm here to learn and part of that means exposing myself to people that do not think alike to me. I'm not hear to circle jerk about how right we are, maybe that was fun the first few thousand times, it's just boring now.
Ideally I'd like to get involved with a broad spectrum of people that somewhat represent the society that we live in.
Maybe I should just get offline and go to the pub.
In the UK there is some similarity between liberal and left wing ideas, despite them being distinct political groups. Liberalism was originally seen as very left wing, a lot of people are now arguing that there is more in common with right wing politics, small state and such.
I'd say my experience here has been much more left wing than liberal though, just my opinion.
I'm done here, have a nice day.
