ntnewsociety: spaztastic1991: ntnewsociety: “Free speech” is nothing but a shield used to protect ideas that actively harm the oppressed.

“We don’t let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas” ~ Joseph Stalin

Ideas can be more dangerous and when you want to silence one the correct response is to silence you. We become robots in the oppressed world that you idiots want. Wrong. By preventing dangerous ideas from being spread, through the use of censorship, fewer people learn about them, and the ideas ultimately die out. Bigotry is learned, it is not inherent in anyone. If we are to eliminate it, we have to employ tools such as censorship. Why would anyone disagree, unless they find some redeeming quality in hateful, violent rhetoric?

Seriously? Who would be the judge of that? Because who determines what is hateful and violent? Hell why say anything at all when you can just label it as hate speech even if it isn’t.

You know keeping slaves from learning to read and killing any that did so they couldn’t learn and thus fight for their rights was the way the south back in the day decided to “prevent dangerous ideas from being spread” and boy was that a version of censorship anyone raised in the US didn’t stop hearing about.

And yeah learning you should be treated as equal, how to escape and to fight for what you believe in and against what you think is wrong as slaves did back then. To their white owners that seemed an irremediable mindset that begat hate and violence.

But yes please continue to say that suppressing ideas of anyone be it majority or minority through means that a group that could turn out to completely disagree with you is a good idea.
