I find it extremely sad that I’ve already had someone call me a far-right extremist for simply having this conversation. nostr:nevent1qqswjlhs4hf0n82dn72tettlzt8lj0mu92prd55vrqdnz7js7lw0vdspzemhxue...

.. which strikes to the core of the issue doesn’t it?

You have the right to speak freely
I have the right to listen or ignore

You are responsible for your speech
I am responsible for my reaction

Two resolution paths for all conflict:
- dialogue or
- violence
I prefer the former to the latter

Therefore free speech must remain a tool for those who seek dialogue over violence, even at the cost of understanding that it will also be used to incite hatred, to vilify and to marginalise

Keep speaking @Erik Cason 🫂🧡

I agree generally but overly simplified. i.e. A brainwashed child can be talked into actions for which 100% responsibility cannot be ascribed. Such nuance typically begets victim blaming, but it needs to be said more often than it is.
