I'm for free speech, but the people that say online they're “for free speech” would have stood on the shores of Normandy saying we needed to hear both sides of the argument, or perhaps that hitler did have some valid points we had to consider.

It's like they fail to grasp that regardless of how many other “correct” takes someone has, that doesn't make their stupid takes correct, and it doesn't mean we should just pretend that they're not stupid.

And they'll always paint you as some sort of evil, “triggered” sjw. I mean hell if we were discussing mathematics and they gave me a wrong theorem and I proved it was wrong they would call me emotional and hateful.

Why do they act like such kids? Are their minds just so cuddled they can't handle criticism or the idea that they might be wrong? Why are they such manchildren, and how can they fool themselves into thinking they're these Jordan Peterson types when the reality is they're just dumb normies.

Ohh I have to continue.

Then they'll say people are virtue signalling for stating that someone is a fucking nazi. No, that's not virtue signaling, that's stating facts.

Virtue signalling is when you say you value free speech. Or when you respond to a valid criticism with lofty ideals instead of a reply because you can't formulate one. That's virtue signalling.

God these people, if they had the tiniest idea of how stupid they sound to anyone that is not their stupid fucking chudbuds they'd break in half. Which is just as ironic that they need their safe space where no one ever challenged their demented thinking yet they seem to think that anyone on the left is this person that's scared of criticism. Like I'm here rightoid, come at me, I have tissue paper ready for when you're crying two replies.

@cafkafk You remind me of Karl Popper's Paradox of Tolerance. We have to be vigilant, or the intolerant will destroy us ( if they haven't anyway).

Uni didn't do justice to a lot of people and things. There are some nice Karl Popper memes out there, I think you'll like those 😄
