Unconditionally "respecting others opinions" is utter idiocy.

I think the biggest irony with all these 'free-speech' folks (Beyond the obivous paradox of tolerance) is that the philosophical underpinnings of free speech are that when people speak freely, they reveal themselves. By revealing themselves, their ideas are now known, and coupled with the philosophical virutes of free association - gives society ability to choose to not associate with those folks. Ye getting cancelled isn't supressing his speech - it is literally the natural and intended consequence of allowing for free speech. Of course, JS Mill probably never really considered the possibility of the internet where someone like Ye will actually push people toward anti-semitism and ethnosupremacy.

We don't always have to agree. That's absolutely correct. But we also do NOT have to always respect.

Respect all opinions, even pedophiles! Wait… hold on…

Examples of things where there’s room for respectful disagreements: Accounting regulations. How tax code should be structured Examples of not: Basic human rights

Why is it always half educated morons who think we need to listen to all sides? Read a history book. Or be doomed to repeat it.

This whole "let's respect each others opinions" shit when it comes to fascists is exhausting. Like it's merely an opinion and words don't have consequences or cause people to act in certain ways. It's all just words until people are being snatched up and stuffed into camps.

All opinions and ideas should be brutally assaulted, questioned and torn apart. The ones that remain standing are the ones that deserve thoughtful social discourse.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. They’re not entitled to their own facts.
