I am not targeting any group, race or religion or whatever, just an observation why does it seem that freedom of speech appears to invoke an image of a defence to be an asshole?
I get it, free to speak your mind and all and sometimes hard truths need to be said that but is the concept so out of whack that people have less empathy for others that they don’t agree with that they antagonise another to the point of disrespecting the right to dignity?
It seems like humanity is hard wired for conflict and if it isn’t actively trying to kill itself it seems to find an outlet for violence some way somehow. Maybe it is social conditioning or just some primal urge that makes humans human.
I don’t even know where else I could ask it, and it seems kind of stupid to think about so… have at thee
There are people who feel like they need to put folks down to feel good about themselves.
These words give them power so of course they don’t want to get it taken away.
Like the rich don’t want for capitalism to go away because money gives them power.
Capitalism has nothing to do with freedom.
They want their guns because it is no longer a tool, it’s a show of dominance.
Bigger the better fuck yea!
Everytime i think about stuff like this i look to how the power dynamic stands out.
