    Censorship is never the answer. Teaching values and the corresponding ethics and morals that come with it is closer to the answer. A world where you burn down shit just to get a job as a firefighter makes this path a bit more difficult and harder to follow.

      Censorship is never the answer.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

      Formally banning certain forms of vulgar and bigoted expression establish a code of conduct for the community, even if they aren’t strictly enforced.

      Teaching values and the corresponding ethics and morals that come with it is closer to the answer.

      Morality is as much about proactive and affirmative pursuit of justice as internalized codes of conduct.

      If there is no social consequence for immoral behavior, there is no reason to believe the act is immoral.

      Censorship was never their intention. So they couldn’t give any less fucks. They just want to control us.

        I get it. You don’t want my kind here. I’ve heard that call made throughout history.
