Quote:I am pleased to see that this is your take on it. When I saw the title of this thread, I prepared myself to be offended. It is quite frankly unbelievable how frightened formerly liberal democracies are becoming of free speech. Illiberal democracies are springing up everywhere, and formerly liberal democracies are doing horrible slides into illiberal values. Everyone has become so fucking convinced that everyone else is an idiot, that no one trusts anyone else to read anything that they might disagree with, as if the common folk are too dumb to process information that isn't screened by the state.This has fuck all to do with any of that . This wasn't just "disagreement " this was writings of a deranged mass murderer advocating for terrorism .
