Something I’ve been wondering about quite a bit…

As America’s cultural fabric decays and fractures to what extent is free speech fragile without shared cultural norms?

Basically can laws compensate for weak culture?

Or is free speech only tolerable to a majority of people when there’s a shared set of values?

I’m not sure, but I know free speech is our most important ideal and we must protect it with all our resolve.

These decades teach us that the only way free speech can be tolerable is with strong ostracism balancing it.

- If someone shouts jokinly "Fire" in a movie theatre, there should be some kind of public "correction";

- Maybe it's me, but I don't see these suggestion boxes the way they were in the past. Digitally, I just don't believe they would maintain my anonimity;

- If someone is nasty on internet, that should not have a centralized censor. People on that discussion should ostracize the offender, without being afraid of "getting caught". Hurray NOSTR!!!
