Like Socrates. . . Erasmus. . . Voltaire. . . John Stuart Mill. . . Oliver Wendell Holmes. . . Noam Chomsky. . . the writers of the US constitution.
Yeah. . . all those neo-nazis and their ridiculous insistence on free speech. To quote Noam Chomsky:
Quote:'Goebbels was in favour of free speech for views he liked. So was Stalin. If you're in favour of free speech, then you're in favour of freedom of speech precisely for views you despise.
You're on the wrong side of this issue, Gae. Free speech isn't just an excuse to project hatred: it's also our biggest defense against it. More than guns, it is protection against tyranny, and more than any dogma, be it Nazi, communist, Christian or PC extremist, it is our best hope for a society without oppression.
That you don't realize that your mantra of guilt by association is a major non-sequitur, and a horrible failure of basic principles of logic, is apparent. But if you would, just for a second, realize that virtuous ideas, when they are adopted by people lacking in virtue, are STILL virtuous ideas, then you just might be able to move forward on this.
