The Freedom to Offend is Not Freedom (GreatAwakening)

submitted ago by OpposableGums

As a new-comer, my disappointment comes from discovering culture-activists in GreatAwakening who are more interested in voat's culture than in freedom. We need to be activists, not limiting ourselves to narrow definition of freedom and activism. If these culture-activists really understood freedom, Q, the Deep State, and the world cabal, they'd acknowledge that freedom means more than the freedom to offend, and that exercising their freedom to offend is damaging to the recruitment of those we need to fight for actual freedom. Between the bone-headed establishment of 'theawakening' and the posts of waffling culturalists, we've driven away thousands.

Bleep bloop, someone mentioned this post!

'Withi this you guys guys have condemn yourselves here. There are still good ones within you but the ones that control your sub are not' was posted in v/theawakening and includes this reply from @SGM11Z:

This is an example of what pisses me off

Maybe you agree with this post, maybe you don't. I don't care. But look at the downvotes. Why the fuck is this person now at -93? Free speech my ass. This person now has a muzzle, can only make 10 comments per day, cannot downvote and cannot send PM's. Probably won't be back. Maybe that's what you want on your "free speech" website but silencing someone you disagree with is the polar opposite of free speech.

Make your well informed, logical refutations all day long in comments, but shoving anyone, even a troll, below -10 CCP is not free speech. It's the same SJW bullshit that happens when Milo speaks. Shout them down till they leave.

The downvotes on the post don't matter. You can make your displeasure known in a cowardly way there, if you must. It's the comment downvotes that count. It's going through a persons past history and downvoting all those comments, too...just to make a point.

The only point I see to this is that bullies want to control speech on their free speech website. I fuckin hate bullies and hypocrite bullies are the fuckin worst.
