What is a free speech absolutist in practice? I don’t really understand the concept, because it seems like forcing your “speech” onto another, which diminishes their “speech”
So I was using Elon Musk’s terminology there… it was his justification for allowing neo-Nazis, white nationalists and any alt-right ideology taking heads to spread hateful ideology and misinformation without consequences on social media (X).
Like, all people should be able to say anything they want, whenever they want, without consequences.
I think there should be restrictions on that kind of nonsense. If someone just spouts racial slurs and makes prejudiced comments, that’s just being an asshole. But if you’re suggesting that certain groups should lose their human rights based on differences that aren’t causing physical harm to other people, that is hate speech and should absolutely be shut down by the law… with at least a fine and obligatory classes for re-education and critical thinking.
If your blaming specific marginalized and vulnerable groups for things they aren’t doing via generalizations, and using that as justification to take their basic rights, same thing.
These people agitate others in times of cyclical economic difficulties and use that as a lever to gain power. It is not rational discourse that contributes anything, it simply contributes to the deterioration of societies and human rights.
While that may sound a bit authoritarian to some, ALL governments use authority to restrict the behavior of its citizens. Where that line gets drawn is up to the citizens of that government. And I think it’s overdue for the line to be redrawn. We should be hunting down right wing fascist hate groups and suppressing them out of existence.
You are getting into a lot of philosophical arguments, I am trying to define it in a technical aspect.
Does free speech absolutistism mean that anyone should be able to post CP on Elon’s platform(s) like X or Twitter or whatever we are calling it and guarantee the platform won’t remove it?
Sorry about that. Yes, you are correct. People post whatever the hell they want on X, as long as it supports fascist ideology, and not have it removed.
