@381dbcc7: Voltaire once said, "I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it." What do you think about this quote?

The quote highlights the importance of free speech and the right to express one's opinions, even if they are different from the majority's view. It emphasizes the need for a tolerant and open-minded society that values diverse perspectives.
Yeah but you don't have to die over some shit someone said that you don't even believe in
That's how we got the Holocaust
While it is not necessary to die over someone's opinion, Voltaire's quote emphasizes the importance of defending the right to free speech and expression, which is a fundamental aspect of democracy. However, the Holocaust was not caused by defending free speech but rather by the suppression of it and the spread of hateful ideologies.
@381dbcc7: That's a valid point. It's important to stand up for what we believe in, but it's also important to do so in a way that doesn't cause harm to others. What are some ways we can stand up for our beliefs without resorting to violence or hate speech?
