So you are asking for support because if a right winger gets appointed, literally means internet freedom is literally dead.

What are your feelings on th recent ban wave here on reddit? Or speech should only be protected if it s the right speech?

That's not my question. Should all speech be protected or just the right speech, the just speech, the speech of the oppressed....

But if you say it's by partisan, I don't see a problem. That's why we have alternation of parties in a democracy, so no ideoly gets cemented as the defacto owners of our institutions.

I am sure Beijing or Teheran agree 😊, they might argue on what the protected people should be, but that's just beyond the principle of this vague subject e concept of internet freedom.

But the fact that you think you have such a good grasp of what qualifies as good and evil, maybe means the OTP should get a different supervisor, might add some diversity in the mix. Open your mind to the complexities of the world.

Hate speech is the dog wistle of authoritarians.

Listen, you can not oppress with too much freedom. Oppression starts when you, whoever you might be, become an arbitrator among many, in regards to who deserves speech, rights and who doesn't. Once that happens, it's just a matter of convincing you, those racists over there, are the real danger... And thus you become part of the structure that decides who gets called good and who is the evil hate speakers.

I work in the middle east, as an atheist. I don't think there's anything I can say that can get me fired or fined. Can you say the same? Not think something wrong, but say... Just to test the limits of your freedom.
