The idea that freedom of speech is correlated heavily with hatred instead of the open forum of conversation - a true neutral - has been one of the most grim things about political takeovers of websites as a whole. Watching people grow increasingly psychotic about what speech should be "tolerated" is complete insanity, and serves only to protect thin-skinned bullies who are people who need to be put in their place the absolute most.
I'm hoping the next 4 years will see more of an open and proud backlash against such social control conceptually, but extremism is tempting for many, and most people seem content to go with the flow in silence rather than rock the boat. Dreadful; I long for the days where it was principles we shared, like no child going hungry or no elder freezing to death on the streets, and the main disagreement was on methods of achieving such goals.
Sorry to feelspost, Kiwis - the holidays often make one wistful.
