I Am Going to Say Something Controversial

We believe we are so tolerant in our western societies, but what we really are is a bunch of hypocrites. We have just substituted government authoritarism for social control authoritarism, especially online.

This is just another side of our idea of 'progress': going on with our beastly mentality of centuries, but in a cleaner, better-looking way. The same way we can kill now using chemical weapons instead of swords, and avoid the dirty sight of the blood, we lynch online those we do not agree with and avoid seeing the gallows and the rope.

This is the tolerance of those who have the word in their mouths all the time. Set a code of rules that EVERYBODY must follow (democracy, equality...), and if someone dares to question them, unleash the army of keyboard (sometimes not only) SJW warriors to destroy their reputation, harass them online, threaten them and their families, call for boycotts on their business...until they are crashed and often forced to leave the country.

If I have to choose, I prefer the good old authoritarism to this new one. At least it is not hypocritical and does not hide under a mask of tolerance and progressivism.

Move then 🤷🏻‍♂️

Your free to do so.

Can’t say for sure you’d be able to move back. So I hope you like it there.

It's always interesting to see people complain about those who are "easily offended", when they are themselves easily offended by the things those "easily offended" types say.
The irony, as thick as it is, is lost on you.

@SameoneElse Can you not see it is not the same to denounce a general situation as drawing a target on particular people the way SJW do?

If you say you think saying something is better because it is honest,is self-serving, we live in different words and there is no point in farther talking
I see you don't address the actual argument but chose to hide, again, in victimhood. Good luck.

The online world can be a frightening place. It is how we use it. It seems governments are not well placed to curb certain things given its limited role in its regulation.

All people are hypocrites and it is impossible not to be. But honestly, I kinda hear what you are saying. It is like we are more authoritarian than ever but it is by the people and has no compass or lines to it. It is all on emotional whims.
@MethDozer Talking about horse shit.

@SameoneElse there there.
