The answer to hate is free speech not censorship

It is a long one, about two hours long.

Ran into this while looking into the Open Societies stance on speech. Am pleasantly surprised.

Here is that boogyman of the Right, funded by the leftist madman George Soros, and it is promoting free speech while arguing against censorship. Wonderful.

Isn't, censoring a type of free speech? If I own a business, and you come in being a racist piece of shit, I can use my freedom of speech to say "you aren't going to say that here, you are no longer welcome, and trespassing. Stick around and I'll call the cops."

Freedom of speech prevails.

No, that is a different thing. Elon Musk was threatened by the EU and activists over his choices anyways, so does not apply here.

Arguing against his racism is free speech. That or agreeing to disageee.

I'm still not entirely certain you understand what free speech is.

The fact that cdtm and his ilk spend so much time and energy insisting that we're going about hate speech the wrong way, is in of itself evidence that we're doing it precisely the right way.

We'll get through to him someday.

There is beauty in the art of debate and differences of opinion. Such freedom is an essential part of democracy – but without ethics, how can we call ourselves civilised? THE FOULNESS FROM PREVIOUS POSTERS HERE PROMOTES VIOLENCE AND HATE. It desensitises cruelty and debases the credibility of "debaters".

I have no idea what cdtm posted and this is in no wY a reply to his bad faith trolling.

I already took my hypnocratic oath stress test you haven’t been tested like I have been Jesus rollover do no harm NO MASS
