I think about this topic a lot. It seems like we’ve given everyone a voice and means to share their thoughts. This forum is a great example of that. I know this is heretic but I will defend freedom of speech above all else. However, we are simultaneously giving more freedom to speak your mind and silenced those that don’t agree with us. By us, I mean society as a whole not this community. Everything is problematic to some extent nowadays and it’s okay if someone feels that way. The problem is the media and corporations are running with it to pander to the masses. This leads to crazy cancel culture. I used to ignore people I don’t agree with but I would never wish them into the corn field...
Nothing heretic about defending the right to free speech. Nothing in the 1st Amendment says we are free from being offended by what other people have to say.
Just as anyone has the freedom to express an opinion, the same street goes two ways, in that I have to freedom to express an opposing opinion.
