An academic distraction, but this time, it's an advanced one, so I am happy to elaborate.
I do not agree with Jordan Peterson often, but on this topic, he formulated it perfectly. Freedom to speak is the freedom to THINK.
You need to hear an idea in order to even start thinking about it, and you do need other people to build on it. This is the reason, why you also need the ability to hear all versions of the idea you care about, not just an approved academic one. Because you never know where in the noise is the breakpoint you need to see a new truth.
So, why is freedom of expresion the subversion? because a thrown brick is an expresion of your idea. So is glueing yourself on the road to stop an ambulance. The left loves their "non violent" but deadly protests, and they will do anything they can to hide this psychopathic tendency under a wordplay. But does that brick thrown at your head allow you to think about the complex implications in the new law? I don't think so.
So, no. I am definitely not going to accept the frame of "freedom of expression".
I grew up with siblings who were ALL 15+ older than me and they were reactionary bigots who thought my world views were vapid and stupid and said so.
So, I wound up internalizing the message that elders were quite often bullshit and weren't worthy of respect.
My feelings about that haven't changed much in the decades since. Greater age = superiority is a concept that I think is quite often utter bullshit.
You can be a 65 year old and still be a childish, petty fucker. I've known many.
I see.
Thought so.
So many, more frequent #ExtremeWeatherEvents every (still other?) globaly seem to be pointing in the same direction: #ClimateChange is, indeed,, still accelerating.
Hard to tell, but as a Norwegian growing up in the 70s, I know there was no such thing as school lunches, and if welfare recipients were too defective to feed their children, I think they would take the kids away from them, and rightfully so.
So that was an area where mainstream USA was to the left of Scandinavia, allowing defective parents to skimp on their responsibilities.
Lately I believe Norway has experimentaed with school lunches.
Hi. I’m Céleste, I am a transfem non-binary quasar, and a former sex worker. I am disabled (ASD/ADHD/CFS) and do not currently receive much benefits from the government regarding disability payments.
I estimate that my costs for the month are of 1000€. I only receive 193€ of benefits from the government, off of which I need to take away 60€ to reimburse various debts.
My brother is slowly recovering. I did not raise enough money to visit him in the hospital, so I hope I can raise enough this month to do so.
So, if you can spare a dime or two, please please do. Links down below.

I continue to be fascinated by the fact that when Jack Dorsey looks back at his time at Twitter, his only regret is that it was technically possible for him to ban the Nazis so people nagged him to do so.
So now his ideal social network is one where the moderators can’t ban Nazis.
