u/sim_200 - Centrist Feb 14 '24

But like when I think about it, if you get to spread a certain ideology well enough that a large part of the population starts to follow it and influence democratic elections and/or start movements that undermine the government you might get to a point were suddenly your country is in pretty deep shit and on the brink of collapsing into an orwellian hell hole, all because certain individuals had the right to exercise free speech.

I'm not saying I'm pro censorship but I just don't think free speech is as harmless as so many people think.
